herengracht in evening sun Photo

Photographer’s Note

One of the most beautiful spots in the canalzone is the corner of the Herengracht and the Reguliersgracht.
Here in a relaxed early summer evening when people are cruising in little boats.
Regards, Gerrit

Hi Gerrit,
Lovely summer mood you've captured here, I hope you were also relaxing with a Heineken or two. I like the way the light is catching the underside of the bridge and the boat about to pass through the arch.
Superb detail, a well collected shot.
Regards
Peter

Hi Gerrit

Wonderful warm cold color contrasts, between the reddish facade of the building at left, the sunlit portion of the bridge, & the blue sky. Good sharpness & framing. Tfs!

Hi Gerrit. Just beautiful! Wonderful light and colours. I love the way the shadows on the far bank catch the people walking down to the canal ;-). Well framed and thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

I like the POV. Very interesting with all different lighting. Details, sharpness and colours are great. I might recommend you to brighten the part with the bridge a little bit, but nothing serious.
Best wishes,
Achim

Bonsoir, cher ami Gerrit,
Merci de nous emmener dans cette jolie ville où la lumière se fait belle, le printemps rieur nous comble de joie. Les canaux, les immeubles bénéficiant d'une joliesse toute particulière. Un beau rêve éveillé.
Amitiés.

Hi Gerrit,
A beautiful place, certainly. I like the game of light and shades and the warm tones of the evening in your capture, in a beautiful mixture of the architecture with the canal and the trees.
A great light and wonderful colors.
It's a nice work.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Dag Gerrit,

Ik meen dat dit ochtend kleuren zijn, welke ook ze vallen perfect waar we ze willen.
Ik begrijp de boot niet voor 100%, met dat zeil.
Is hij doorgevaren, of wacht hij op iets anders.
Licht en schaduwen zijn zeer mooi om te kijken.
Bedankt voor deze.

Prettige dag verder,
John

Het licht is prachtig. Je hebt dat goed gezien. Inderdaad een van de mooiste plekjes. Het avondlicht benadrukt dat nog eens.
