Town Hall Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Afternoon view of Gouda Town Hall built between 1448 and 1450, one of the oldest Gothic city halls in the Netherlands.
Taken at 17:49, while sky was clearing after a rain.
Camera settings: 26 mm zoom, AV mode, ISO-200.
Two separate RAW conversions of the same image with different settings were done and merged into one. That was the only way to have both bright sky and much darker Town Hall look properly exposed.

An impressive image, Linas. Your choice of perspective captures the form of it adroitly, and the background against the clouds with the patch of blue breaking through completes a fine composition.

Regards,
Jim

A fine documentary image from a good perspective of the historic town hall. Nicely captured and presented.

Ciao Linas,
complimenti per la bella foto!
POV perfetto che ci permette di vedere la chiesa sia frontalmente che lateralmente.
Ottimo il contrasto e la luce.
Un lavoro eseguito molto bene!

Hi Linas,

A perfect shot. Excellent clarity and colours, a good POV and a vertical picture is of course the best choice here. TFS and have a nice day!

Cheers,

Ulf
