The 1702 alternative Photo

Photographer’s Note

As the time closed in yesterday to 17:02 (18:02 local time), I just arrived in the little village Aurdal.

So I stopped the car to make a shot of the white village church. And at 18:02 I took this shot. As I turned around I fronted the fine farm presented yesterday. So of course I made a shot also of the farm.

Lucky me I guess with two fine motives within the time window of 1 minute..

Jolie photo jack, avec une luminosité agréable. J'aime beaucoup aussi la couleurs des nuages qui ne sont pas totalement gris.

Congrats.

Good morning Jack!
Great picture, great peaceful winter atmosphere. Nice shot of the village church with very good colors. The evening sky is contrasting very well with the walls of the church and the snow in the foreground.

Very good picture. Winter and colors are making the atmosphere here. Well captured.

Xalkida (11740) 2005-03-20 10:03

Another excellent photo of this great place. I like the all atmosphere, the authentic colors and the superb sky. The low winter light is very fine! Good job!

Beautiful light and atmosphere in this image,Jack!I like the soft and gentle colors very much.A fine off centered compo with a nice view on the mountains in the background!
Good work!

kolesn (577) 2005-03-20 11:04

Is that a typical Nordic sky, Jack? Very unusual light!
A new challenge for you is here (in one hour!). Will you be there?

Hi Jack,
A very placid place with church as real eyes catcher, the environment with snow also the dark mountains make you picture lovely.
Well seen!
Greetings,
John.

Well, indeed a grand job with the timing Jack to be at Aurdal by 18:02 and be surrounded by two such photogenic sceneries. I like the low light setting and the covered sky in this one, it gives a wonderful kind of glow to the church emerging from the snowy landscape. A lovely and peaceful photo.

carper (64026) 2005-03-20 13:34

It´s a nice theme shot Jack.
And it is still winter by your place, very nice photo, good composing and a very good job, Gr. Jaap

jemaflor (38827) 2005-03-20 14:28

Superb ! I like also your photo of the farm. Lovely church and above all light is wonderful.
Bravo Jack.

Superbe lumière et très belle image.

Hello Jack
a nice landscape, nice frame and exposure. All is so quiet (and so cold !!).
Would like to join the 17:02 shot but too busy ... another time ...
Regards, hugues

Very beautiful composition, with the church on the right side. The light is very amazing, and the colour of the sky is a perfect background for this landscape. The snow on the street helps to add more luminosity to the view.
Very well done Jack.

avigur_11 (21271) 2005-03-20 22:57

It's beautiful, Jack. I like the fact that the curch shares the same colors with the environment, it looks almost like a b/w shot, where the only colors are in the sky. Excellent exposure, despite the late hour.

Kolyamour (1760) 2005-03-21 1:14

White church on the white snow against evening sky looks very beautiful.
Thanks for share.

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-03-21 7:14

This alternative is excellent and what I like more is the contrast that gives a better idea of the hour tight to the sun going.
The church is beautiful.
Compliments

A very beautiful early evening shot, Jack! The white church and the snow seem to have their own glow.

Mafo (1339) 2005-03-21 7:49

Interesting photo, Jack!
Nice composition, nice frame!

Didi (35690) 2005-03-21 14:57

Bonsoir Jack
Nous sommes dans le même fuseau horaire, mais il fait plus spmbre qu'en France.
J'apprécie la composition, si je comprends bien vous avez photographié avec votre téléphone ?
J'aime bien le contraste de la neige par rapport au ciel.

Good evening Jack We are in the same time zone, but the weather is darker than in France. I appreciate the composition, if I understand, you photographed with your telephone ?
I like the contrast of snow compared to the sky.

Hi Jack

Stunning graphism, with superb sharpness, color, saturation, lighting & pov. I like the blueness & luminosity / translucence of the foreground snow. Good work!

joso (1786) 2005-03-22 5:17

And lucky you, with your not just looking, but seeing eyes. No matter where, at what time - you still find something photogenic.
I like the well-handeld light in this lovely, snowy, well-composed landscape.

bazal (7898) 2005-03-22 10:04

You've managed to capture a really great light for this well balanced composition. The picture is very sharp and the DOF is good. The architecture of the building is very interesting and unusual for Southern Europe people.
Thanks for sharing.

weswang (18223) 2005-03-22 11:58

Hi Jack, This is an excellent shot. I do see your well mastered Nikon D70 skill here. The picture is very clear, nice contrast, and beautiful color. It is a beautiful scene as well. Well done.

mikhalych (1311) 2005-03-22 14:05

Hi, Jack

It's been a while since I last visited TE. As I see you've been very productive all that time. Lots to see.
Yere cold evening light and whiteness of the church combine to create unreal, mystic athmosphere. Excellent.

saintclaude (1398) 2005-03-22 14:50

Really nice shot too, with fine colors and great landscape!
You are lucky, good hollydays!

premels (2400) 2005-03-25 13:32

Wow, I like this one very much.
The composition is very well balanced. The sky color is surreal creating a sleepy mood. It just fits my current mood.

capthaddock (28640) 2005-03-31 7:06

Hi Jack - very beautiful shot giving a wintry evening mood - the rest of your gallery looks equally fantastic.

faubry (32197) 2005-03-31 15:15

joseelias (367) 2005-04-13 10:06

Magnificent image Jack. The combination of the blue tones with the slightly warmer sky creates a delicate atmosphere and a great mood in this one. Also a well balanced image with a good placement of the church in the composition.
