3,99° Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

La tour de pise est inclinée de 3,99° ... ça parait pas grand chose sur le papier mais de visu c'est tout de même impressionnant.

Tower of pisa is 3,99° inclined ... that seems to be few on paper but very visible from eyes when you're front of it (west looking east)

Ciao Sabastien,

Great shot of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa!
The sharpness and POV are simply amazing with a nice view of the tower. It gives a great idea of the scale in your picture. The contrast between the colors of these historical buildings and the blue sky is just amazing. Great job!

Thanks for sharing.

best regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hi Sebastien.
Interesting effect from the vignette - it emphasises the depth somehow and focuses our attention on the two buildings. I don't think I've ever seen the leaning tower pictured like this, it's a good idea. The sharpness and clarity is exceptional. Great work.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Sebastien,
you have kept away from the madding crowds shooting the standard shots when in pisa and composed a stunning shot. the POF and the DOV spot on as is the framing. congratulations on a great photo, chris

Hello Sebastien

Nice capture, The image puts the tower into perspective. I do not think I would climb that tower. Nice image.

Jimmy

Hello Sebastien,
An original way to bring the leaning power to the fore. Well composed with good matching grey-silvery colour tones.

Paul

Salut Sébastien
Très bon cadrage pour montrer l'inclinaison de la tour.
Par contre je suis pas fan du vignettage.
Bonne journée
Christophe

Bonjour Sebastien -

Your composition is a bit different from the norm and that is what makes it so attractive. The Duomo for reference and only a bit of the tower. This composition accentuates the lean of the tower as well as exaggerates the lean for an eye catching image. Well done!

Thank you for sharing.

Hello Sebastien,
What a surreal shot, I love it. It like some special effect we see in movie just before the building come tumbling down. I like that you combined the two building to show the leaning of the tower. Great sharpness and clarity, good detail and texture. Colors and light well managed and balanced. Thanks.
I like it very much.
