La ciudad de Trondheim cuenta con más de 1.000 años de experiencia como anfitrión. En la Edad Media la ciudad fue una de las más visitadas como centro de peregrinaje en toda Europa, junto con Roma, Jerusalén y Santiago de Compostela. La ciudad fue fundada por el rey vikingo Olav Tryggvason a la vera del río Nidelven en el año 997.

Trondheim es actualmente la tercera ciudad en importancia en Noruega, tiene 150.000 de habitantes y al mismo tiempo de ser una ciudad con características modernas, Trondheim se la defina como un centro cultural e histórico de envergadura.



Estas bellas casas a orillas del río Nidelvenson fotografiadas por todos los que visitan esta bella ciudad, por eso decidí darle un pequeño cambio, la pasé a blanco y negro y no acababa de gustarme, probé a respetar el color original a cuatro de las casas, el resultado es el que os muestro, conseguí un resultado doble, por un lado la suavidad y misterio que proporciona el b/n y por otro el impacto de los vivos colores de las casas, espero que os guste.

Saludos

Like brilliance, sharpness and colours of this two pair of houses. Good photo.
Regards Darko

Nice İdea. But it isn't nature. I think, photo is be natural.

Hello,
I found this picture interesting byt the contrast of colours, the very good sharpnes and POV. But to be fully honest, I think you should have first post the original and then propose this very good WS.
Don't you think so?.
Best regards
JMarc

Nice work, Jose.

Realy nice ...

jose

es una photo muy linda, las colores y el blanco & negro estan muy bien hechos.

Hello Jose!
I'm wondering, why you have chosen those two houses to make them in colour? Good idea of pp. I like that composition.
Good luck!

Hola Jose! muy interesante post-produccion, me gusta mucho. Muy buena foto! Interesante nota.

Hey Jose,
excellent detail and sharpness, great POV and did you superimpose this image?
Great creativity :)
Cheers TFS,

Excellent shot. What colors and a menacing sky. Well seen and captured. Good work.

Hola jose
Solo comentarte que has acertado en esta composicion, todas las casas en BN salvo 4, muy original y queda muy bien
Un saludo

Hola Jose!
Magnífica imagen de Trondheim con un efect muy bonito!
Genial composición y coincido en la opción B&N, no puedo imaginar esta imagen si no es así. Muy bien hecho :)
Cuidate,
Vero

Hola Jose,
The effect created by selectively desaturating this image is very impressive. The colours are so vivid and contrast very strongly with the b&w. Your pic is very nice composed and the image quality is extremely high. Excellent work, Jose. I LIKE IT! :-)

Best wishes,
Tony

Sorry: I don't like this artificial effect here...

A pesar de que a mi en particular no me gustan mucho las fotos retocadas en extremo... debo decir que esta es una muy buena esepción. Creo que la combinacion de los grises con los colores intensos de la parte original quedo muy buena!. Buen enfoque y una muy buena composicion!. Excelente trabajo. Un saludo
Picardo

This is a very intriquing and fun effect, Jose. I like also your point of view down this row of buildings. I get an interesting atmosphere looking at this image.

Interesting effect, out of the mainstream, and more the style of TrekLens, but still enjoyable to observe, nice and creative

It's a fantastic photo! I love the composition!
thanks for sharing this wonderful shot!
well done

Beautiful picture: great idea!! Very creative, I must say.. The image could use a little more sharpness, but it's still great! Thanks for sharing,

Jas

almost two pairs, almost the same, very good colours and the colours are nice

Jose, j'aime beaucoup ce travail fait en post-traitement sur cette photo. Le travail sur une photo est souvent tout bénéfice pour un cliché et a toujours fait partie de l'expression du photographe. Il est devenu plus facile avec l'ordinateur mais c'est tout. La photo est bien construite et les deux couleurs sont un vrai plus pour le cliché.

well Jose,
I like this shot a lot,
very well composed and i like the houses in colours together with the black and white houses, a very good effect and technical very nice, good job.
gr. jaap

Some never would like such a explicit impact on a shot, so be it, but staying on the level of the limitations or handicaps of a tool is indeed missing an open chance to put your personal artistic touch in it, so I approve the explicit PP here on a fine perspective of this facades where the colored ones stick out in a good B&W conversion.
Well done Jose

great idea & pp-work, jose! :-)
the shot itself is really good - was the water frozen?
the pp with the desaturation of most of the
houses and leaving the color (their natural color?)
only on two pairs is brilliant.
well done & take care, thor.

This place in Trondheim is really magical, I understand it attracts the eye of the photographer!
To be honest I'm not a big fan of your choice of post-processing, I don't like the selective desaturation. And I feel the image quality has been reduced by the post processing (texture has been lost in the water and on the houses). But it's really a matter of personnal taste, so it wouldn't be fair to rate your picture based on personal taste only.
I think it's good and healthy to try new things. Keep on trying!

Hola Jose! Aunque conozco este lugar y se que lo impactante son los distintos colores de las casas, y sus reflejos en el agua, tu manera de enserñarnosla desde otra perspectiva ha sido una gran idea, creo que esta muy lograda.
Saludos.

Hello Jose,
Excellent picture mixing colors and B&W. It is impressive. The composition and framing are very well.
This presentation require a lot of work ?
Regards
Jean-Louis

Hi Jose,
Excellent composition and the houses colored back are standing in great contrast to the B&W.
I really like these kind of images...well done, good work..!!!
Regards, Henk

Amaizing PP, Jose.
You know that I like very much the partial desaturation technique, but this is really very very special and clever.
And the result is beautiful.

Hola Jose!!
Esta foto es un excelente ejemplo d lo q decías en tu crítica sobre la mía... Hay q tener cuidado con estos experimentos, pero cuando funcionan se consiguen imagenes tan bonitas y originales como esta. Eso si... a la foto lo falta un pelín d definición... Pero en cualquier caso, un gran trabajo!!

Hello,

Joli travail sur cette image.
Les couleurs de ces maisons sur le noir et blanc est vraiment bien vu.

Hi Jose, great use of partial coloring, in a peacefull city and so calm :) Composition is simple but efficient and good, i like it :)

Hello Jose!
In my opinion this photo is perfect!
I like the effect of choice the orange tones!
Congratulations!
Best regards!

Belle composition, qui met en valeur les maisons colorées !

Hola Jose, a mi me encanta como procesaste esto. Yo se que mucha gente dice que no es natural y cosas asi pero la verdad que esta genial, realmente las hace destacarse del resto que es en definitva lo que querias, verdad? Keep shooting ;) Tali

Bonsoir Jose
j'aime bien cette perspective et le traitement que tu as fait. Beau résultat qui donne un excellent tableau.
Bravo
Xavier

I like the effect, Jose, but it was my understanding that images posted on Trekearth could not be manipulated. Has this policy changed? I have not bee posting for a long time. Anyway, you are certainly an imaginative image maker and have good control of your craft. You have a good eye for photography and know how to use digital editing tools.

Hi Jose
It is an interesting work. I like the contrast of colors and the work you done on saturation.
Well done
Bertrand

Interesting choice on which house too leave in color
Exceellent decision.
It adds so much character to this image

this photo is really great!!!!!!!!the composition is very good..and those houses that are almost sitting on water are fantastic!!
TFS!

Hi Jose,
Interesting idea to combine the B&W and the colour. Amazing (but fortunately) the TOS didn’t remove this picture. I’m pleased to see this lovely façade which I visited long time ago regular on Trekearth.

Me encanta la idea de dejar en color algunas casas, es un efecto interesante, muy buena foto ;-)

Hola Jose
Buscando alguna foto interesante me he encontrado con esta tuya y encima tomada por un paisano mio jejejeje.
Me encanta del modo que has visto la escena. La desaturación de colores en combinación con el b&w es arriesgada en muchos casos pero creo que el resultado es grande. Los colores bien balanceados y la definición excelente. La composición tambien es grande.
Hoy no dispongo de más smiles, pero mañana regreso.

Bonjour José,
Trsè originale cette présentation de cette vole norvégienne.
C'est le genre de PP que j'aime beaucoup et même si il dénature la photo, il met l'accent sur certains éléments tels les architectures particulières.
C'est en tous cas bien cadré.
Regards.
Daniel.

After doing a partial desaturation for one of my photos, I can now really appreciate your photo.
Good choice.
I just love it.

Hi Jose.
Selective desaturation is a technique I really like and I used in some in my past contributions. It works perfectly well here, and the graphism of your picture is very nice. The result appears very dynamic and crisp.
Thanks for sharing.

Hola Jose.

Una excelente desaturación. Me gusta mucho como has jugado con los colores de las casas.

Buena definición también.

Un saludo, Oscar

Hi Jose,
I was sooo sure I'd already commented on this fine image..! But not so... hmmmm. Never too late I guess!
A familiar place to me, as I spend most of my time in Trondheim... You capture the old warehouses from a good point of view here, I also like inclusion of Nidelven with a tad of reflection...
A well composed image with good details, and your post processing makes it more eye catching!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hola Jose, Superb foto! love every inch of it. How do make the two houses colored in a B&W canvass?
Czaldy

Hi Jose

Wonderful composition and great pp. I like how you desaturated the houses left only 2 of them in color. Great reflections. Excellent work.

Hi, Jose!
Intresting idea and composition!

Jose, muy bien hecho el efecto de de-saturacion. La foto da la impresion de un juego de monopolio tamaño gigante. Muy bien visto y captado.

Saludos,
Enrique

Hi Jose
I love it! great idea to keep the houses partly coloured, it underlines the pair of houses nicely.
grat job
Harry

I look at some more of your images Jose! This is brilliant, you are giving me some great ideas. The post-processing I think is what pushes this to a high-level making it abstract and artsy. But that stands on it being a very strong composition to begin with. You took a very good angle on this row of houses.

Nicely done!
Regards,
Doug

Goog efect ang very good photo! Lili

Ola Josè,

Jose:

Muy buena foto, felicidades, me encanto, y los datos son excepcionales, se nota que te gusta tanto la fotografia y tienes un poco de alma de historiador y vives tu foto al maximo.

me intriga un poco como separaste el color, hiciste un duplicado y pegaste o como lo hiciste, muchas gracias anticipadas

Hola Jose,
Excelente acción, hicistes un trabajo artistico que se ha quedado espléndido. Me gustó del punto de vista y también los demás aspectos de la toma. Um abrazo, Consuelo
