My town 6 Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

One more view at my town. I don`t know a history of this building, so I just show it :).
In a WS you can see the capture from other (rainy) day.

Greetings Henryk. Enchanting colours and architecture. The sunlight on the building is eye catching as it contrasts powerfully against the domed roof and the vivid blue sky. Lovely composition. Regards. Klaudio.

Hallo Henryk!
It seems that you life in a beautiful city. These well preserved nice houses with the funny spires and your last pictures show it. In this photo I like the colours very much and the play of light and shadows.
Greetings from grey, warm and rainy Siegen - and have a good weekend!

Hello Henryk. This one is very dramatic, in the lighting and the colour. The slightly blurred little car whizzing by gives energy to the shot. I like the sight of that blurred face through the windscreen. A great mix of light and shadow in this high contrast picture which could have been so ordinary. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Henryk,
Comparing original and WS, it is incredible how the place could look differently under various weather conditions. Nevertheless both photos have great sky, while here the range of colours is wider, which gives better depth of field.

Hi Henrik!
Really surprisingly fine shot you bring us today: magnificent colors with a perfect sharpness, perfect light level, and an in sharp focus, too!
Carefully chose POV which I like very much!
Excellent work!
TFS and have a nice weekend,

Cześć!

Wiele razy byłem w Słupsku i wiem że jest wiele ciekawszych miejsc w Polsce. Tym większa chwała Ci za to że ze zwykłej ulicy i kawałka odrapanego secesyjnego domu potrafisz wydobyć tyle piękna

Pozdrawiam

PS

Sorry - chyba ta kamienica jest jednak po remoncie. Ekipę budowlaną przepraszam

Hi Henryk,
Interesting architectures ! I like it and the nice conditions for this view: colors are very strong.
There is only the car that I prefer not to see here...

nicol_g (759) 2006-11-25 14:59

Hi :)
It was a little bit difficult to choose between this image and the one in WS. I like the main post (the sunlight makes the beautiful architecture of the building very pleasant to the eyes) but the image in the WS "speaks" to me more. So, if you don't mind I will add some words about that one. The atmosphere seems somehow similar to the one from "My town 3". These cloudy/rainy images have something special, moody. You brought out the best you could of the low light. I can see some vigneting effect in the bottom which, together with the reflection, add some "fairy" feel to the scene.
"November rain" you said ;)? It's a beautiful song but sad, the same way that a town may sometimes look in a rainy autumn day :)))
Bye :)

Witaj Heniek!
Mi³o ogl±daæ Twoje miasto. Ale krêcisz kolory... £adny kadr, ciekawa kompozycja i ¶wiat³o. Podoba siê.
Pozdrawiam

Edyta_B (1195) 2006-11-25 15:35

Hello
Ale¿ kontrasty, ale¿ ¶wiat³o, ale¿ kolory! ;).
I tu bym mog³abym skoñczyæ... no ale powiem jeszcze s³ówko ;).
¦licznie pokazana ¶liczna kamieniczka w pieknym ¶wietle na tle "chmurnego" nieba. Zdjêcie podoba mi siê, nawet z tym samochodzikiem. Wyobra¿am sobie, jak by to by³o, gdyby go nie by³o :). No ale trudno pewnie wstrzymaæ ruch, gdy siê zdjêcia robi, st±d - das Auto ist gut ;). Und die Fotografie ist sehr gut auch :).
Pozdrawiam
PS: Wersja w WS równie¿ siê bardzo podoba; jest taka nastrojowa... a to pewnie przez to niebo...

Hi Henryk,

I like the colors and the daily life shot,
Nice POV,
The moving car object made this photo very dynamic,
Well done :)
Nilay

pboehringer (770) 2006-11-26 0:05

Obviously the main attraction is the antique building and the cloud formations in the background. I was thinking a lot about the car and I still can decide if it is an important element or distractive element to this shot. Perfect timing to get the light coming in so diagonally and giving the enhancing shadows around the house. Nice town that you got, Henryk.
Kind Regards, Peter

berek (28901) 2006-11-26 0:06

Hi Henryk,
your town is beautiful my friend. I like architecture and beautiful sky, very much. thanks for your sharing. have a nice Sunday

my overall evaluation -> ***

sam224 (5851) 2006-11-26 3:51

Good saturation of colours and good light make this shot interesting. The building stands out with its red roof against the blue sky. The dark clouds all around add interest.
Thanks for sharing.

Vato_Law (11666) 2006-11-26 5:27

Hello Henryk,
I see you have a lot to shoot around only at your hometown and you have some great buildings to show like this one in the photo.
Nice light handling and a very nice dark, strong clouded sky contrasting well with the light striking the bulding.
The Ws photo is worth to be posted I really like it's atmosphere.
Cheers.
Paulo

Hi Henryk,
Excellent light with great sky and very good perspective. Nice work.

Hi Henryk
The light and shadow play is perfect here with the lovely building against the even lovlier sky.

feather (49860) 2006-11-26 12:09

Comparing this with the WS is a great reminder the difference the light makes; not only for brightness and contrast, but the colours are very different too. In actual fact I find it difficult to choose which I like best as the rainy day version has excellent qualities too. (Like the reflections in the puddle)Good work.

Hi Henryk.

The WS. I preffer the WS.

About this one, the only problem I think is the little overexposition but, anyway, I like it.

Rgs, Oscar

sebcz (2345) 2006-11-26 16:36

No i ladnie pokazane okolice ratusza. Niebo jednak robi swoje. Fajnie ten czerwony dominujacy kolor. I rozmyty samochod.

siolaw (25734) 2006-11-27 1:31

Hi Henryk,
Interesting architecture here, in a great light as you use to have! Nice colors, sharpness and attractive choice of vertical framing... the car adds some movement to the image, that makes it more nice to see

Hello Henryk,
Strong colours really make these fine pieces of architecture catch my eyes!
Good point of view and the angle of light enhances my experience...
Well composed presentation, pin sharp!

riclopes (32993) 2006-11-27 4:09

Olá Henryk, nice to see some more architecture from your place. I wouldn't say that you had such big buildings around you. This one is quite interesting, with those cilinders and arabic façade. Good vertical composition, from this POV. I don't know about that car, though. The light and cloudy sky is great and the attempt in WS is also interesting.
Regards,
Ricardo

Paolo (40703) 2006-11-27 5:54

Hi Henryk, excellent also that one, with fantastic colours and POV and for a rare time a car that isn't a bad thing in the general composition.
thanks, ciao

jlynx (11380) 2006-11-27 10:06

Znowoz mocno uderzyles z niebem, nie wiem, jak ci mieszczanie znosza taki zabojczy blekit, dobrze, ze to nie na codzien ;)
Ladny budynek, ale czy to jest zwykly dom mieszkalny, czy jakis urzad?
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

adrenka (144) 2006-11-28 3:20

Witaj!
Ta seria przypomniales mi, ze moim marzeniem bylo pokazac moje miasto. Niestety nie udalo sie i musze byc cierpliwa. Moze kiedys...
Fajnie pokazac tylu ludziom gdzie czlowiek zakotwiczyl...
Ja akurat wrocilam do rodzinnego miasta. No i tutaj nasuwa sie duzo mysli nie zwiazanych z fotografia :)
Nie odzywam sie ale oczywiscie - jak to kiedys okreslilam - wnikliwie obserwuje ;)

rosaline (0) 2006-11-28 3:56

Hi Henryk
Good shot here with very vivd colouring. The contrast is strong and well captured. I don't mind the speeding car as it doesn't intrude to much on the building. The foreground shrubs are a nice feature too, adding compositional balance. Good vivid shot.
Aubrey

Slupsk...I have to go there!!
Hy Henryk...great colors here...and a nice crop!...
Have a nice day, M.:)))

Bonjour, cher Henryk,
Bravo, pour ces deux prises de vue ! la lumière est d'une grande beauté.
Le ciel magnifie l'ensemble de la composition.
Une ville, où il semble bon vivre.
Amitiés.

jhm (82487) 2006-11-28 8:11

Hi Henryk,

I find both pictures very lovely, but preferes this picture with the lovely building as subject, also the imminent sky care for a nice composition, very well done! Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice tuesday,
John.

john_c (24635) 2006-11-28 13:14

Hi Henryk,
OUtstanding contrast and clarity here, though personally I would have cropped a little of the foreground bush to bring in the building. The fleeting car actually enhances, providing some dynamism, particularly since the driver's visage is visible. I am much enamoured with your WS version, which holds much artistic merit. Well captured, Henryk.
John

sergio1 (12150) 2006-11-28 18:02

HI Henrik

Wonderful sky and pretty clouds. Really you city is wonderful. The game to lights and shadow over principal building is nice. Nioce contrast and colours.
My cumpliments
Sergio

Angshu (33641) 2006-11-28 22:43

Hello Henryk
The building is beautiful & the play of light & shadow on it makes it even more beautiful. The colours are lovely, even that of the building peeking thru in the left. Well done to post the WS, which makes us see what a difference light & the absence of it can make..but the puddle in the WS is definitely interesting
Regards
Angshu

Hihi czy¿by¶ planowa³ zakup produktu którego¶ z francuskich koncernów motoryzacyjnych i w³a¶nie pracujesz na zgrabny rabacik? No bo kryptoreklama na obydwu fotach jest dosyæ ewidentna ;-)
A poza tym archtektura - miodzio, piêknie ujêta zarówno w deszczowy dzieñ jak i w s³oñcu. Osobiscie bardziej podoba mi siê ujêcie deszczowe, dla mniej ostetntacyjnej kolorystyki, uroczego ¶wiat³a i piêknego odbicia w ka³u¿y ;-)

Olá Henryk
Muito linda esta foto. Bela arquitetura com muitos detalhes e cores interessantes e muito vivas; as cores vermelhas em contraste com o azul do céu é fantástico. Parabéns, amigo.
Grande abraço,
Vera.

pranab (5354) 2006-12-03 22:18

henryk,
i know the ws photo does not have the super saturation and contrast of color but i liked the pov. on this posted one, colors are really dramatic and details are good too.only thing bothers me is teh reflected white color on the side of the building, maybe a bit of burning will take care of the problem.tfs.

robertosalguero (110) 2006-12-04 1:11

Hello Henryk. I don't remember seeing this type of architecture in the cities I visited in Poland. I like it though because of the details and the colors of the roof. Its colors contrast nicely with the blue sky and the grey clouds looming above. Lovely capture of your town architecture and good use of light to express this image very well.

Roberto

fayeulle (26543) 2006-12-06 12:52

Hi Henryk
I like the blue/white/red colors. It's look like the french flag ;-). I like too the moving car

Hi Henryk,
The clouds in the background, the sun shining on the buldings and the colors are very nice. Best regards. Salvator.

danos (32432) 2007-02-22 13:48

Hi Henryk,
your composition of the structure gives a great deal dimension to it. The whiteness of the building I think amplifies the red and grey .. the sky is great.. the whole thing is so vivid .. striking .Well done.
Regards,Danos

Interesting and beautiful architecture, splendid colours and perfect sharpness...

batalay (20920) 2007-11-23 16:02

Hello Henryk,

This is a beautiful image of Slupsk; and I looked at the overcast day in ws. What I've learned from you is the very good balance in contrast and color saturation that you characteristically achieve. It is a very good idea to present the different moods of the same place by presenting it in different conditions of lighting. Of course, I personally like showing a building from a corner, because it shows good two-point perspective (geometric constructions B-1 and B-2 on page 122 of 'Math and the Mona Lisa.') In my own drawing, page 124 I presented two-point perspective with a hollow structure.

Warm regards,

Bulent

jmdias (19225) 2008-12-01 6:20

very beautiful architecture. The light is nice and the mix of stormy and blue sky is very interesting here. beautiful colors and pov.
