TE122 Calatrava rust Photo

Photographer’s Note

TE122

Just in time, more Calatrave !?

Rust on the Calatravabridges.

Due to a construction-error the 3 bridges of Calatrava in the Haarlemmermeer are threatened by rust.
The municipality of Haarlemmermeer and the building contractor are quarrelling about the question who is the blame and who has to pay for the repair-costs.

The municipality will not wait for the result of this legal tug-of-war and they have decided that the reparations have to start soon.

If you want to see more of these beautiful bridges before it’s to late you can visit my Calatrava theme

Halløjsa,
Prachtige foto van deze brug met een fantastisch lijnenspel. De vaart met bomen aan de linkerkant geeft een mooi perspectief en het frame dat onder de brug door loopt is mooi gemaakt. Prima werk. :-D

Hi Rob,
Excellent POV with the bridge and the trees in the background. The cables and bridge slice the picture space into interesting shapes with nice rhythm. I also love the soft blue tint which make the scene looks fresh and cool.Letting part of the bridge out of the picture frame is also a nice idea. Very impressive!! Have a nice day.

Hi Rob!
Indeed, this is really a interesting and well done composition. I like the "dynamic" framing also very much.
Cheers, Thorsten

Hej Rob,
Good graphic composition using the cables of the bridge. Great parallelism between the bridge and the road with good perspective effect. I like it!
Well done.
Hilsner,
Leonor

Hallo Rob. Gweldig gedaan mooi lijnenspel. Ik ken de drie bruggen en heb eens snel een paar foto's geschoten. Het is echt indrukwekkend daar. Je hebt er een mooie compositie van gemaakt.
groeten
Frans.

Mooie foto Rob,
Uitstekende compositie tussen al die lijnen in, goede diepte werking, mooi scherp, uitstekend werk.

The dof, the pov, the light and the perspective (with the road) are simply perfect.
Impressive composition.

So corrosion is destroying the bridge. I thought it possible in a third-world country, where we are used to certain amount of corruption (not a good thing, of course), but everything can happen everywhere in the end.
Nice POV, with the criss-crossing cables in the foreground and the line of trees in the background.

singuanti (15240) 2005-10-28 22:05

Hi Rob. This is a great catch of the wires on this old looking structure. I like all of the different layers and how they interact. The low POV is just what you want here. Well done Rob.

Hi Rob,
A well composed, artistic shot from the bridge. I like the graphics and symmetry here. The DOF is great, and one can follow the wet road lined on each side with the tall trees. Your low angle POV is most effective. An impressive and successful shot, Rob. I like this one very much.

Bonjour Rob,
erreur ou pas erreur, l'esthétique est au rendez-vous et ton POV et le cadrage mette bien tout cela en valeur.
Ces droites qui filent dans tous les sens et aussi cette géometrie dans les arbres à l'arrière plan, contribuent à toute cette esthétique.
Teintes naturelles aussi.
Bravo.
Daniel.

Sorry to hear this about this bridge but seems to be the sign of our time: beautiful design and poor quality.
But your picture is not like this. It has both good quality and composition. I like the kind of spider net and the trees in perspective.

weswang (18223) 2005-10-29 19:16

Hi Rob, An impressive shot with the clear net in the front and beautiful canal perspective view in the background. A showcase of both modern industry construction and historical agriculture engineering results. Good contrast, sharpness and depth. Well done.

Galmeida (12559) 2005-10-30 5:53

Hi Rob,
This is a nice modern bridge and in your fine style and capture of architecture, you present us a excelent partial view so well done and composed. Good angle of view and perspective. Graphism and very good enquadrement with this nice landscape and scenery. Lovely sky and beuatiful ground greens.

I like it and is wll seen, done and composed. Congratulations!
Best to you.
Fernando

Moet de hele wereld nou weten, dat de bruggen nu al onder de roest zitten:-)))))))))))
Deze compositie is geweldig, prachtig in elkaar gezet, Rob ! Ook de kleur is zeer mooi, goede foto van een bekende plek !

pamastro (7215) 2005-11-07 23:44

I love the lines and the patterns you have captured Rob. But what is really neat are the two worlds here. The path in the back looks like a matte painting and the bridge something else. Like the two parts have been pasted together from their mutual settings. The feel is really strong with the way the cables criss cross and cover the background. And I suppose it has a Calatrava feel like this for not really blending in but standing completely out from the environment around it. The strong perspectives also appear to be slightly different because of the directions of the path and bridge so that further gives that feel of two planes superimposed. Very neat capture Rob.

Hoi Rob,
I missed this fine picture,great how the lines of the futuristic bridge leading the eye to the quiet canal between the trees,nice contrast.
Doei,
Hermann

Deze heb ik nog gemist, Rob, prachtig de combinatie van de zonovergoten brug als een grafische overlay van dit landschap wijzend naar de groene dreef, heerlijk om naar te kijken.

Kititit (813) 2006-08-01 14:46
