My town 7 Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Once again the granary seen from the other side. You`ve seen it from Slupia river direction, now you can see Slupia in the background. The wall at the left belongs to MillGate. Photo was taken a moment after a heave rainfall.

Hello Henryk
Encore une superbe vue de ton village.
Le ciet et la lumière que tu captures donnent toujours des atmosphères très particulières.
Un pov bien choisi et une photo très nette.
Best regards

Wonderful dramatic colours again. You really took advantage of the light right after the rainfall and we can still feel that everything jut got washed. Very well done.

Angshu (34243) 2007-01-22 4:13

Hello Henryk
The deep dark clouds bring in dramatic colours & contrasts. Your angular POV of the granary looks very good..I like the patch of water post rainfall in the centre. Technicals great as always

Hi Henryk - superb shot in fantastic depth in 3-d impact; amazing! TFS, Daniel

syd1946 (17999) 2007-01-22 5:11

Hello Henryk,
Most of all I like the strange and dramatic sky which rules the whole scene.Also the light gives a nice mood to this beautiful composition!

My best wishes for the week,
Thomas

This has your unique style all over it. I think I could have guessed it was yours. The strong colours and high contrast are very appealing to me and they are becoming your trademark. Very well composed with the perspective of the granery providing the diagonals. The river and the puddles give out enough light to prevent the image being too dark. Good work.

Witaj Henryku,
Jeste¶ mistrzem nastroju umiejêtnie operuj±cym zarówno nasyceniem koloru jak i kontrastami tak bardzo potrzebnymi do sterowania emocjami. Bardzo ³adnie opar³e¶ kadr o ¶cianê bramy prowadz±c wzrók po elewacji spichlerza ku po³yskuj±cej S³upi pod pêdz±cymi chmurami. Bardzo dobra praca.

ninaL (19646) 2007-01-22 9:02

No, tak.
Juz wiemy, ze Slupsk charakteryzuje sie zwlaszcza pieknym, mocnym niebem z malarskimi chmurami ;).
Ladne zdjecie.
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

batalay (21416) 2007-01-22 16:52

Hello Henryk,
I grew up with fine art, and one painting in the family was by the 19th century French painter, Jules Dupré (1811-1880). His colors were so vivid that van Gogh, writing to his brother Théo, commented "Dupreé's paintings are a symphony in colors..." So it is with your work, my friend. Magnificent shot! The technical aspects — composition, light, texture, exposure, that everyone else comments about — are there from the start, but then there are the ethereal colors you capture.
Regards,
Bulent

Vato_Law (11768) 2007-01-22 16:58

Hello Henryk,
Another lovely composition and atmosphere. I love the light of this photo, this clouded sky, and all the details on the walls of the buildings. The rocks on foreground along with the trees are other fine details.
Cheers.
Paulo

Witaj Henryku
Chcia³oby siê powiedzieæ co¶ oryginalnego na temat tego zdjêcia, ale ¿e wpisujê siê jako która¶ z kolei, to nie bêdê niepowtarzalna ;).
Nie ukrywam, ¿e zdjêcie jest niesamowite i bardzo mi siê podoba. Wpatrujê siê w nie, urzeczona.
Zaplanowane jest po mistrzowsku. Barwy - s³odkie i soczyste - takie moje ulubione. ¦wiat³o delikatne. Kontrasty miêdzy barwami (ale nie tylko one) tworz± niesamowity i tajemniczy nastrój w tym miejscu, na tym zdjêciu. Nie sposób te¿ przej¶æ obojêtnie obok b³yszcz±cych srebrem asfaltowych chodników; S³upi, gdzie¶ w g³êbi kadru "tajemniczotkwi±cej" i ciê¿kich, jesiennych niebios.
Moje uznanie, Mistrzu...
Podziwiam. Piêkne.

Hi Henryk,
Very nice composition...

Hello Henryk,
I like the atmosphere here.
And you are a "master" of the skys. This one is superb.
Perfect colours too.
Is it really yours?! eheheh
Kisses
Teresa

jmdaoudal (82) 2007-01-22 19:42

I would recognise your photos everytime, this allways well done, a special hour and a result very well detailed and precisely contrasted. "Une marque de fabrique".
I feel this picture is well buit with the strong points of th wall and the "colombage" house.
This is a "town of "character".
I like it
Jean Michel

Scharan (13955) 2007-01-22 22:19

Olá Henryk
Tem algo de mistério nesta imagem, acho que é a cor do céu...lindo!
Linda foto,bom trabalho.
Grande abraço,
Vera.

john_c (24635) 2007-01-22 22:36

Hi Henryk,
A dramatic scene, with the sky threatening and the lighting very fine. The blending of the orange roof and green tones is quite effective. The quivering tree standing alone trying to reach the sky seems almost like some symbolic figure challenging the elements, while the weeping willow hunkers down, relaxed and happy. ( I am not usually this anthropomorphic in my remarks..) The structure of the MillGate on the left appears like some out of place medieval artifact. Very effective work, Henryk.
John

tjanze (5674) 2007-01-23 4:23

Hi Henryk!
Very dramatic light.Beautiful arhitecture on both sides.
It reminds me a lot on north German houses.
Good sharpness and I like strong colors.
Regards!

markstaples (15670) 2007-01-23 4:57

I knew that this was your work before I even saw the name underneath. The compo works well as the eye follows through the gap right down into the distance. The shot has a kind of dark mood about it.
Best wishes
Mark

vbbreizh (2622) 2007-01-23 6:52

Hi Henryk
Intelligent and beautiful management of the lightning, great colors, astonishing sky...

pboehringer (770) 2007-01-23 18:20

Hi Henryk, surely that capture show a lot of the dramatic light and color conditions that you only can get with rainfall to come, but the post also shows extremely good PP skills. I wish you could give some informations how do you achieve such effects.
TFS, Peter

ciao Henryk,
lovely dramatic colours again...and impressive use of light in this shot..you did very well to make pictures after a rainfall..
have a nice evening,
flory

nicol_g (769) 2007-01-24 15:58

Hi,
It's a nice view, with a 'country-side feel', quiet...
Still, the image seems a bit crowded/busy to me... I think I will escape into the background 'cause I like it much :)
The light is very good, colours also.
Best wishes :)

parbo (11054) 2007-01-24 20:52

Hi Henryk,

Clouds, clouds, clouds... How we will finish them? Probably not. Excellent reflections are while you are capturing spectacular sky. I like contrasts between parts in your photo a lot too. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Bonsoir, mon ami Henryk,
Une photo de très grande qualité. J'aime l'ambiance générale qui se dégage de cette prise de vue.
Le ciel est merveilleux.
Tout est bon : sujet, couleurs, mise en scène !
C'est parfait !
Amitiés.
Philippe

riclopes (33143) 2007-01-25 3:46

Recognizing your unique style is of course a good thing and we can see all that are write so enthusiastic here to know that. This looks like a very appealing painting. Although I'm more impressed by your mountains sceneries, I'm definately glad to see more of your own town. It's a great shot? Yes, but your pp also helps a lot. Really nice image Henryk!
Have a good night sleep.
Ricardo

branley (3681) 2007-01-26 7:03

Hi Henryk,

we certainly see a lot of rain here but then the dark, brooding clouds make this a very dramatic image, like something from a film set. Lovely dark colours and a very good use of the available light. A superb post my friend and well seen.

Regards

Stephen

plimrn (19872) 2007-01-27 19:45

Hi Henryk,
You can almost see the water dripping off the leaves of the willow tree. You certainly live in a beautiful place; it seems surprisingly green for November.
HLJ, Pat

robertosalguero (110) 2007-01-28 4:00

The clouds really create an interesting mood in the picture. The good contrast of colors of the two buildings and the good use of low outdoor natural light to get good colors and definition. A nice composition with good details and perspective. TFS Henryk :-)

Hi Henryk,
How did I ever miss this one?
Wonderfull composition, and superb colors. The dark colors and accents and the punishing clouds are just superb.
I wish you an excellent weekend. best personal regards. Salvator.

Stepan (27175) 2007-06-07 1:52

Looks like an artificial city, because of the light and the contrasts. Impressive visual impact.
I just regret you focused on the rocks, with a small Av, producing a light blurry background.
Stéphane

jackart (5618) 2007-11-02 7:15

Witaj Henryku!

Dopiero teraz skojarzyłem gdzie to zostało zrobione (trochę to trwało - prawie rok ;)
Kilka razy byłem na Starym Mieście w Słupsku ( zbyt wiele go tam nie ma) ale dopiero teraz zdaję sobie sprawę jak trudno jest zrobić takie zdjęcie. Po pierwsze zazwyczaj kręci się tu sporo ludzi, po drugie w zasięgu obiektywu znajdzie się jakiś kosz na śmieci albo brzydka tablica. W pobliżu młyna też jest ( o ile pamiętam) taki nieciekawy murek. Jak Ci się udało to wszystko ominąć - ba jeszcze z byle jakiego klombiku uszyłeś całkiem interesujący pierwszy plan. Światło itd bardzo interesujące - ale to normalka.

Pozdrawiam
Jacek
