City Hall Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is the south wing of City Hall in Trondheim, facing the Cathedral. The address is Munkegaten 1, the most exclusive in the city!

The building was finished in 1896 and originally build for Trondheim College of Technology, but it was taken over by the City of Trondheim and converted to City Hall from 1930.

Trondheim City Hall houses the meeting rooms for the city council and the city executive board, and has offices for the city executive board, the mayor, deputy mayor and some other staff.

City Hall is located next door to the Nidaros Cathedral in central Trondheim, and is a large two-storey building in neo-Renaissance style with a high ground floor and a mezzanine floor. Architects were Lars Solberg and Johan Christensen.

Hello Pablo,
A good capture of this interesting façade with its symmetrical windows. Good tonal contrasts and very good clarity.

trekks (14260) 2008-01-24 5:13

Hi Pablo

Very good details on this architecture. Strong contrast of color and lines.

Is it re-touched externally? It looks modern in appearance. I like the perspective view.

Nice work. TFS

Hi Pablo,

A good capture of the colorful city hall building of Trondheim under a beautiful sky, the point of view is showing the details and colors of the architecture of the building. Have a nice day.

Hi Pablo,
The facade of the city hall stands out very well against the sky with its warm colour. The light enhances too. The architecture looks nice and simple. Good POV and composition. Well done!
Regards,
Lars

Buin (36754) 2008-01-24 6:51

Hallo Pablo!
I've been there but I never would have intended, to "silhouette" this a bit prosaic facade in front of the sky - but - it works! The contrast is fascinating, and beautiful.
Greetings from grey and rainy Germany!

gracious (20017) 2008-01-24 9:03

Hello my dear friend Pablo,
excellent captured of the city hall that facing towards the direct sun to have the perfect exposure and focus on the building in total details!
the colouration is just beautiful against a blue sky!

Hi Pablo,
a strong and clear architecture from a good POV presented. All those straight lines just raise the building. Good sharpness and fine contrast with the sky.

Hi Pablo
A good angle to provide impact, nice lines forming quite a graphical image. The sharpness and quality is second to none.

A really unusual picture from you....anyway, excellent colours. The contrast between them is lovely!

gunbud (27489) 2008-01-24 18:55

Hi Pablo,
Excellent skyward prespective that uses the vibrant blue sky to highlight the pink facade of this lovely 19th century government building. Perfect use of light renders great lines and details to this compelling image.
Regards, Tom

aloyho (6105) 2008-01-25 0:46

Hi Pablo,
I am sure you are taking a short break with this close up of the facade. It is very graphic and you have positioned yourself well so that the negative shape harmonized beautifully with that of the facade. The sense of space and depth is accentuated by the converging lines and helped by the reflection of the sky in the windows. Well done!!

All good wishes.

Budapestman (40808) 2008-01-25 1:41

Dear Pablo,
Attractive architecture shot with beautiful colours, the composition is spectacular. Very fine premiére for City Hall, Well done! Have a nice weekend my friend

Hi Pablo

A superb colour contrast, between the red tinted facade of the building, & the blue sky. Good sharpness, & a marvelous upward pov. Tfs!

imrek (4) 2008-01-25 3:26

HI Pablo,

it's something new from you, but lines and color contrast are well done!

Have nice WE!

jhm (81589) 2008-01-25 4:12

Hello Pablo,

A city hall without specially style of adornment or other decorations.
But maybe very functional as city hall.
You chose for a vertical perspective,and certainly for a good quality and colour.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Greg1949 (8499) 2008-01-25 4:54

Pablo,

This is an interesting shot, the angles are really skewed but work well anyway. I see there is a bit of ailising around some of the windows but that may be a function of the computer I am usung, or the shallow angles or the samll post size, but it is not important.

The note adds the necessary touch to make this a really good shot.

Greg

giorgimer (20596) 2008-01-25 6:22

Hi pablo,

I like the perspective created by this POV, beautiful colors too.

Well done!

plimrn (19524) 2008-01-25 9:17

Hi Pablo,
I like the angular perspective against the sky; the clean sharp detail and clarity of colors help to make it a winner. HLJ, Pat

JCG (24769) 2008-01-25 11:08

Hi Pablo,

I like much the purity of the image and clearness. A catch of interesting sight which gives much height to the building. I appreciate the contrast of colors in particular that of the frontage with this beautiful blue sky. Pretty glance Pablo.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

leo61 (42704) 2008-01-26 0:53

Hi Pablo!
Interesting perspective and I like it.I like also the tight framing,the many lines and the colorcontrast.

UlfE (8831) 2008-01-26 1:52

Hei Pablo,

Wonderful strong colours. I really like your POV and the simplicity. It is true that it is an unusal picture in your gallery, but I am also a bit surprised that you have not posted more photos from Trondheim. What comes next the Nidaros Domkirke? TFS and have a nice week-end!

Cheers,

Ulf

Flavia (10202) 2008-01-26 2:01

Hi Pablp,

The bright light, the contrast between the building walls and the blue sky and the POV make this picture quite interesting. The lens distortions create an interesting feeling.

Regards,

Flavia

vincz (19037) 2008-01-26 2:31

Very special color with great contrast with the blue sky. I like the purity and cleanless that emerges out of this picture. The POV from below enhances the geometry. Well done.

Nicou (43737) 2008-01-26 3:03

Hello,

Qeul graphisme, quel reflet dsna les fenêtre, et cette couleur un superbe contraste avec l'arrière dns un mangigique ciel.

kiwi_explorer (12195) 2008-01-26 3:16

Hi Pablo,
I like the sharpness of this photo ... crisp colors too. Nice angle to take the shot as it gave some depth to the building. Well composed! tfs and have a nice weekend.
Cheers,

Royaldevon (5782) 2008-01-26 4:10

Hello Pablo,

I really like your pov. It gives the building an increased sense of grandeur and importance!
Very sharp image and how well it looks so angular against the blue sky!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
Many thanks for your warm comments 'Cottages with Character'.

ruisc_pt (6206) 2008-01-26 4:47

TopGeo (21345) 2008-01-26 6:00

Hi Pablo excellent shot! Impressive reception, and the corner of frame good. The detail and the chromatic clarity perfect. Beautiful work! I greet friendlily
Georgios

Truja (4948) 2008-01-26 6:20

Hola Pablo,
interesting perspective that emphasizes better the geometry of the building, is brilliant...
The direct hit of the sun in the facade creates a greater contrast between the tonalities.
Again, the quality of the image and light are enviable (healthily...jejeje ;-)

Salut, Jordi

molla (6871) 2008-01-26 8:50

Hej Pablo,
It's a long time since i visited Trondheim, but it's time to do it. I found the town very pleasant last time I was there 17 years ago.
The townhouse has that typical modernistic architecture that I can recognice from other Scandinavian major towns, and i really like this period of time when the architecture opens up for the light and cleans up the lines.
Nice POV.
Anders Mohlin

axiotea (15869) 2008-01-26 10:33

Hello Pablo
I actually like, the effect given by the lens distortion which creates an interesting perspective. The light is illuminating perfectly the pinkish building which contrasts well with the sky. Excellent sharpness!
Cheers
Marilyn

wgreis (5876) 2008-01-26 11:02

Hi Pablo,

Very nice bright colors, with a good transition effect for the blue of the sky, and interesting reflections on the glass of the windows.

All the best,

Emmanuel

bakes888 (18055) 2008-01-26 17:49

Hi Pablo. Nice capture. Your wide angle view and camera angle have given the city hall a definite domineering presence. Excellent sharpness and well saturated colours. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Pablo,
your fine image taken at the most perfect time of the day...I don't think you could better the quality or the sharpness, they are just outstanding.The razor sharp focus is excellent and i like this angle and choice of POV as you managed the contrasted colours great, a very well crafted shot.Informative your note too.

Have a nice week,Danos

josepmarin (33561) 2008-01-28 11:53

Hi Pablo,
This good photo of architecture is not in the line of your habitual works. But it is good, the POV from down gives a great perspective and an elegant fugue of lines of the building, and all that with a light managed well and a few very well saturated colors.
It is a great work.
Best regards,
Josep

Philippe (11645) 2008-01-28 13:49

Hi, Pablo. A building which looks austere but has good graphic qualities that your picture brings out quite well. The contrast between the walls of the building and the sky works well and is ideal to bring out your main subject.

Didi (35648) 2008-01-28 17:38

Hello Pablo
An interesting vertical perspective for this classic architecture.
Well done.
Cheers.

robertosalguero (2759) 2008-01-28 21:57

Hello Pablo,

I like the angle of this shot. The building seem bent perhaps because of the wide angle. The sharpness and clarity of ths image are excellent and your note regarding this building is interesting. Thanks Pablo.

Roberto

papagolf21 (55860) 2008-01-29 0:58

Bonjour, mon ami Pablo,
Architecture en avance sur son temps (le bâtiment a été terminé à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle).
L'étage attique que l'on devine doit posséder des fenêtres à impostes plein-cintre.
Très jolie mise en image.
Amitiés.
Philippe

syd1946 (17807) 2008-01-29 1:55

Hello Pablo,
very well composed and artistic approach to an architecture shot.The low pov give a great perspective to the top and creates lines and shapes.Very well done!

Have a nice day,

JPlumb (3153) 2008-01-29 3:10

Hi Pablo, interesting perspective on this shot. You've made this building look tall. Great colour seen in the building, and it seems as always, very nice Norwegian blue sky.

Thanks, John

Hi Pablo,
the closer pov works very well here and the slightly diagonal perspective is well seen. The bg. obtained with the nice blue sky contrasts perfectly with the brownish building and makes it more appealing than how it is in itself. Well done!
Tfs and best wishes.

Belle photo de ce batiment pris légèrement décentré sur la gauche,jolies couleurs, beaux reflets de la lumière dans les vitres.
Le choix du POV si bas est bon car cela donne comme toile de fond un superbe ciel bleu.

Amitiés Thomas
Je reviens.

riclopes (32821) 2008-01-31 2:25

Olá Pablo, interesting change of theme. From barns in the countryside to the architecture in the city ;-) Love the distortion effect and the perfect balance bettween the portion of sky and building. Superb quality of image as ususal.

Hi Pablo,
A nice, warm coloured facade that fits very well with its blue sky background.
The distorted lines of this close-up shot create dynamic composition, in spite of the simple and clear lines of the building itself.

Hello Pablo!
Very nice geometrical lines combined with the "free hand" clouds. Colors are contrasting and underlining different purposes;-) Very good lighting.
Best wishes for the week

alvaraalto (5225) 2008-02-04 13:04

Hi Pablo,

Amazing to see how the POV you choose gives a certain estrangement. Only at second view I recognized the style and colours of this building Trondheim . The salmon-coloured façade is in perfect harmony with the blue sky.

Groet Rob

Giorgio (8592) 2008-02-06 0:49

- Good shot on this old building but with already, an architecture with the contemporary lines, bravo Pablo and TFS for this rarity !
All the best.

Jonas_Schmitt (3074) 2008-02-06 3:55

Hi Pablo!
Very nice composition.I like the yellow and the blue colors very much and the contrast they make to each other is great. You chose an excellent point of view and I like the sharpness very much.In my eyes there´s nothing to improve.
Regards,
Jonas

jrj (34777) 2008-02-08 1:22

Good way to present the building Pablo. The low pov and cut makes the building stand up even better maybe than in th reality..

mrcrow (3989) 2008-02-08 10:27

massive presentation...quite overbearing in the pov and the tones stand out against the sky
lighting is perfect for modelling the returns and window recesses
a clean and unfussy piece of architecture
cheers
geof
ps...whacking good sharpness

mikolaj_kawa (29322) 2008-02-10 3:35

Hello Pablo! Original Town Hall! Vry original POV. Great effect. Amazing background. Good colors. Good capture. Well done!

noborders (14215) 2008-02-22 9:55

The view of this facade from so close is great, the colours splendid against the deep blue sky and I like the slight distorsion in the angles...
Great idea, great shot, TFS !
Best regards,

it is a simple façade but I liked the way you put it, its color against the blue sky and the angle created by this pov.

Hi Pablo,

stunnig perspective. That's exactly as I like: strong diagonal lines and the blue sky as the background. You made good use of the light and this created a nice play between the highlight and shadow on the façade of the building. Well done!
