[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Agios Dimitrios (Άγιος Δημήτριος) is the church and the hill at the bottom of the town, from where you can have panoramic view to my town. Just behind is the knew part of the town called Ksirias (Ξηριάς) and behind it the sides of mountain Tymfrystos.

The extra saturated yellow colour of the building and around area caused from two strong yellow lights just right ang left of the photo and one behind it that has no effect. The lights used so it can view from everywhere from town at night.

Information founded unfortunatly only in greek here.

I take 9 shots and uesed the 6 brighter of them usind DRI technique founded here.
I have many burned pixels from long exposure and have to heal all one by one, and after a lot of work here it is. I hope you like it.
Every advice is welcome.

Other views Front, Distant back and from side of mountain.

Hello Chris!
Amazing colours and light in your blue hour composition!
Beautiful church!
Perfect exposure!
Good clarity and detail!
Nice perspective!
Best regards!
Lili

Chris,
The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. This is a fine blue hour shot showing the artificial lighting on the church and the natural lighting in the sky. The composition and POV are good showing the building from an angle giving the shot depth.
TFS,
Asa

Γεια σου Χρήστο, καταπληκτική εικόνα με υπέροχο φωτισμό και εξαιρετική λεπτομέρεια σε όλο το εύρος της. Η οξύτητα και καθαρότητά της είναι εντυπωσιακή. Πολύ όμορφος και ο ουρανός με την μπλέ απόχρωση. Δεν γνωρίζω κάτι για την τεχνική που χρησιμποίησες αλλά κρίνοντας από το αποτέλεσμα έκανες πολύ καλή χρήση. Σε χαιρετώ,
Κώστας.

Hi Chris! I like the coulours and lights on your photos. I feel silence and contepmlation.Great!

Hi Chris,
Nice little church and superb timing, its structures are glowing at full strength thanks to the help of the contrasts of the blue hour.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Chris,
Picturesque view with amazing lights, I like the beautiful architectural details and the superb composition, majestic spectacle, Congratulations. Have a nice day
George

Geia sou Xristo,
Very beautiful photo at the blue hour. The sharpness and details of the church and of the city are excellent. Thank you for the information of the DRI technics, which is very intersting and more natural than the HDR one.

poyl entypwsiaki fotografia me poly omorfa xrwmata kai yperoxi atmosfaira! galantis

Γειάσου Χρήστο, πολύ όμορφη εικόνα,
το χρυσό φως κυρίως στην εκκλησία αλλά και σε άλλα κομμάτια της φωτογραφίας μαζί με ατμοσφαιρικό γαλάζιο του ουρανού και το σκοτεινό του βουνού κάνουν μια εξαιρετική σύνθεση.
Το σημείο λήψης και η οξύτητα πάρα πολύ καλά.
Το τελικό αποτέλεσμα πάρα πολύ καλό, μπράβο.
Βαγγέλης

Hello, Chris -
This is a really superior low-light shot. The colors of the church are wonderful, but the town in the background really sets this photo apart. Fine work!

Hi Chris,
Great exposure for this beautiful night time shot. I love the colour with the blue and yellow contrasting. Great clarity and wonderful detail.
Regards
Wanda

I like the contrast between blue and warm colours! good work!

the beautiful lights and illumination and plus the effect of fog we see on sky view is magnificent. I dont know if you zoomed or not but if you took the photo a bit far location it would be better we would see more of the town scenery.
