Bourtzi by Day Photo

Photographer’s Note

Still in Nafplio, since my gallery is huge and further posts will follow.

Information about Nafplio you will find here.

About the shot - Post Processing Notes:
---------------------------------------
Beside the fact that a polarizer filter was used, and some basic post processing work done, there is nothing more to add.

Another version with a black frame can be seen by clicking the workshop link.

Thanks for viewing!

Hello Stelios,

perfect sharpness here. I really don't understand why some other photographers with the same camera don't achieve this sharpness ?

regards,

Luc.

Hi Stelios,
Love the blue - no wonder,the Polariser has done a great job here.Excellent capture.Inspite of the blue - it is rich in variation of shade and tone,it is never monotonic.Like that how you used the boats in sequence here.Excellent clarity and sharpness.Wonderful.
PS: Just upgraded myself with 350D. Any tips/suggestions that you might want to pass on regarding the cam?Specially how it performs in taking Night shots?
Greetings from India,
Dhurjati

Λαμπερή φωτογραφία, Στέλιο, ιδανική για καρτ-ποστάλ. Πολύ καλό σημείο λήψης, πολύ καλή ευκρίνεια και χρώματα. Είχες περιθώρια για μικρότερο διάφραγμα. Με όλο το θάρρος και εντελώς φιλικά,
Αθανάσιος.

Hi Stelios,
Well arranged scene showing the harbourside, boats and fortress. Bright blue colours are very Greek. Mountaineus background closes the scene nicely.

Γεια σου Στέλιο!

Πανέμορφη λήψη από το Ναύπλιο με το Μπούρτζι να κεντρίζει το ενδιαφέρον. Εξαιρετική "γεωμετρία", όλες οι γραμμές (πραγματικές και νοητές) συγκλίνουν στο θέμα σου. Φανταστικά χρώματα και εξαιρετικό βάθος πεδίου. Συγχαρητήρια!

Κλασική καρτ-ποσταλική φωτογραφία με πληθώρα χρωμάτων εκ των οποίων ξεχωρίζει το μπλε και το κίτρινο. Το μάτι οδηγείται ευχάριστα προς το θέμα. Ενοχλούν οι δυο ακμές (μάλλον από τα φωτιστικά του δρόμου) και το φοινικοειδές κάτω δεξιά.

Στέλιο καλησπέρα,
ωραίο το σκηνικό από το όμορφο Ναύπλιο με μιά προοπτική που αιχμαλωτίζει.Η συνέχεια της παραλίας οδηγεί το μάτι κατ΄ευθείαν στο Μπούρζι δημιουργώντας ένα ευχάριστο βάθος πεδίου.Εξαιρετικά τα χρώματα και το φως.

Καλό Σαββατόβραδο,Δάνος

A very beautiful composition where you dedicate part of the image to the land and part to the sea in a balanced way. A good sense of depth given by the presece of three grounds: foreground, middleground and background.
Very good sharpness and colours saturation.
My compliments,
Donato
