Genova per noi.. Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here is another snapshot of Genova taken while trying out my new camera.. It was very cold in the italian riviera last week..they got some snow which is very rare. You can see the rests of it on the sourrounding mountains. Genova is a city squashed between mountains and sea. Very nice natural location.

Title: song "Genova per noi" by Paolo Conte, a genovese singer.

Les couleurs de Gènes, cela me rappelle quand j'ai passé quelques vacances à Sestri Levante... Le cadrage est en tout cas pas mal vu avec ces montagnes et ces immeubles colorés de nature encore embellis par la lumière douce de décembre. Bravo!

Bonsoir Leonie,
le premier plan me plait bien, les couleurs sont bien saturees tellement que le fond me semble terne. Alors ce 350D, bien ?
Jolie prise
Luan

Ciao Leonie,
L'Itzalie et la montagne font bon ménage, on oublie souvent qu'il y en a beaucoup dans ce beau pays.
La ville et son fond de montagne est très belle, des couleurs et une bonne profondeur.
Compliments
Jean Michel

Hi Leonie,
You caught a magical light. Excellent composition, great point of view and superb warm colours. Splendid work!

Happy New Year and best wishes to you!
Regards John

Hi Leonie. Wow what another great shot from you. You have to love that warm light and the way it illuminates the city and mountain. What a striking combination of nature and architecture. Very nice take Leonie!!

Maybe it was cold, but your photo is very warm. The light is just lovely, a typical light that is created with sunhine from one side of sky and dark clouds on the other side, and you have sought out an excellent and very picturesque view to show us the effects of the light. Well done and thanks! Best regards, Chris.

Hello Leonie,
belle vue sur la cité de Christophe Colomb, la belle lumière sur ces bâtiments réchauffe la froideur du climat.
Bon point de vue qui permet d'admier les montagnes proches !
Bien vu, a+

Welcome back Leonie!

This is a lovely shot with great colours. I like the warm tones on the buildings, against the cool blue/grey of the sky. One tiny quibble - the buildings do not look fully vertical, maybe camera was tilted a little? (I do this all the time, Photoshop fixes it for me).

Best of luck with the 350D. I plan to buy a digital SLR this year, so I am interested in what you think of the 350D.

Happy New Year!

Hi Leonie, You have very well captured the snow peak in this picture. Nice to see the colorful buildings in contrast with the distance mountain. I guess this is taken in a later afternoon judging by the long shadow. However, your camera showed the time is 23:49. I guess you did not set the time yet when you try out you new camera.
Your camera works all right except the clock :D.

Salut Léonie,
Superbe point de vue avec ce décor en arrière plan, mais c'est bien sûr les façades colorées que l'on admire et tu as choisi le bon moment avec cette luminosité hivernale. Bien vu !

Emile (20151) 2006-01-04 19:17

Hola Leonie.
Glad to know you were in Italy celebrating the Christmas holidays.
Great picture, amazing view with beautiful colours and contrast. very well captured. Good lighting and composition.
Very well done
Happy New Year, best wishes for this 2006.

devimeuxbe (56398) 2006-01-06 15:15

Bonsoir Leonie
La couleur des facades se marie bien avec la neige des montagnes. L'hivers et la méditérannée sur la meme image.
Bien vu
Bertrand

Une scène très bien éclairée, avec une chaude lumière. Composition assez classique, mais ici ca fonctionne très bien

Amitiés,

Steft (5962) 2006-01-13 7:26

Hi Leonie,
Very nice colourful buildings, which stand out very well against those beautiful mountains. It's a bit like the houses are falling the left, but I'm not sure though.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful city shot.
Stef

alainh (35389) 2006-01-16 12:39

Bonsoir léonie.
Une lumiere de fin de journée pour flatter ces couleurs chaudes des façades latines.
une image bien composée
bonne soirée à toi

capthaddock (28640) 2006-01-16 12:44

Hi Leonie - great catch, having snowy peaks so close to the nmediterranean is a rare sight indeed, and the low light did justice to the cheerful bright coloured façades.

Paolo (40755) 2006-01-16 18:49

Ciao Leonie, fantastic shot of Genova. there is all of that wonderful city in that image. the colorfull building, the caotic ruban structure, the sun, and as there is in the word of the wonderful Genova per Noi, there are the mountains and not the sea (it talks about the strange love/hate that the people of Genova have with the sea).

Genova per noi was wrote by Paolo Conte that was born (and still lives) in Asti, in eastern Piedmont. the co-authot is Bruno Lauzi, that was born in Genova, but went to live close to Milano when he was a boy.
it was Bruno Lauzi the first to sing that song in the mid 60's, then many other playied that "classical". but the Lauzi version is the most famous.

thanks, ciao

fabio_ts (13674) 2006-01-17 5:31

Fantastici colori per questa bellissima foto Leonie.. e bell'omaggio a Paolo Conte.. probabilmente questa foto piace molto anche a lui.. :o)

BRAVISSIMA!!!

ciao,
Fabio.

Saluti Leonie,
Una bella vista de questa cita. Happy new year and I hope you enjoy your new camera. However......... the horizon is a bit tilted... TATATA :)
Cheers
Daniel

dominique (11414) 2006-02-24 17:55

superbe lumiere , j'aime l'embrasement des batiments par la lumiere du soleil et le contraste avec les montagnes du fond . bien vu .

Voltri (1724) 2006-04-18 7:39

Agree, it's very unusual to see snow in this city :)
Excellent colors.

keribar (42760) 2006-07-29 12:24

Salut Léonie,

Je viens de découvrir que l'on pourrait admirer des montagnes enneigées a partir de Gênes. Jolie photo qui nous permet de voir les rangées de bâtiments et enfin la montagne.
Joli travail. Tu auras beaucoup de plaisir a visiter le Maroc qui est un superbe pays mais il faudra faire attention en photographiant les personnages, on s'attire des reflections désagréables facilement quand on brandit des appareils .

jrzufferey (7249) 2006-11-27 4:55

Salut Léonie, le cadrage est super,les montagnes, la neige et les belles couleurs chaude de l'Automne. Amitié/jr

startacked (1286) 2007-01-24 15:26

Hi Leonie,

The late afternoon/ early morning sun on the buildings give a nice warmth against the cold and greyish background of the clouds and mountains. Great shot, TFS, G

MichaelTrezzi (3170) 2007-10-03 14:42

Hello Leonie, what a great colors of this city postrait. Like very much the warm houses combined with the colder mountain background. Well done. TFS, Cheers, Michael
