Old Bridge after sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi dear TE friends

Before show you some picture of wonderful Vienna, I come back to Slovenia.

This is the beautiful old bridge over the Drava River

Enjoy it !

The origin of the city of Maribor is closely linked with the crossing over the river Drava. Thus the greater part of the town’s old history rotates around the river Drava and the bridges over it. Many merchant routes lead through the town, so that the bridge represented in peaceful times a source of income, in times of war it was the cause of different dangers. Today’s Old Bridge, built between the years 1906 and 1912, was one of the most beautiful bridges in the Austro-Hungarian Empire

Hello Aires,
This is an excellent nightshot!I like the light exposure very much and how the dark bridge helps the perspective and the form!

Have a nice day,
Thomas

The hues are as rfreshing and wonderful as they always are in your works and the feeling of serenity is all pervasive. Great composition.

Bravo !

Hello Aires! Original bridge, very original mirror. Good POV, very good capture. Well done!

lestans (15398) 2008-07-08 2:21

Dear Aires
you are painting with lights ! Reflections lights and arch shape make a great composition in this view. Sky is also fantastic.
Nicely done, thank you! Ciao!

Dpbours (210) 2008-07-08 2:29

Hello Aires,

Very nice to see tyhe silouette of this bridge with such a pleasant sunset behind it. I like the very delicate lines of the lights on the bridge in the curves and straight line next to the road. Nice.

Greetings,
Dennis

riclopes (32845) 2008-07-08 2:55

Esta está um espectáculo, Aires. No lado direito já estamos na hora azul, mas do lado esquerdo ainda não...Adoro o impacto visual desta ponte escurecida com os arcos desenhados a branco. O cenário colorido lá atrás ficou muito bonito. Muito boa.
Um abraço,
ricardo

jlynx (11380) 2008-07-08 5:14

Hello Friend,
Very good example superb construction of the picture. Sloping perspective which I recognized earlier in similar circumstances. Colouring of the sky near at hand after the sunsetting causes the fantastic mood. Very profitable are here reflections of bays of the bridge in smooth water. Lines of lights of the lantern create bold partings of picture. I like these colours, I like lights, contrasts and the sharpness of this photo.
Best regards from Poznan and Mosina,
Jurek

delkoo (33904) 2008-07-08 8:08

hi aires

well done

avene (10850) 2008-07-08 8:26

hello Aires,
it's intresting how the dark background and lights on the bridge bring out the beaty of the construction - the clean lines and smooth curves, I like it a lot. I also like how you have used the bridge to frame the colours of the sunset on the left, and the reflection to double the effect. excellent work, my compliments.

regards,
Kristine

Cricri (42773) 2008-07-08 10:22

Hola Aires,
Belle image du coucher du soleil a heure bleu
bonne perspective du pont qui laisse apercevoir le paysage et ses reflets, trés jolie
Best regard
cricri

axiotea (15897) 2008-07-08 10:48

Olà Aires
A good shooting angle allowing to see the city with its colored lights through the arch, and the presentation of the bridge in a diagonal creating a nice perspective. It's well exposed and the reflections are a bonus! I'll add this photo to my 'more fav.pic.2'theme.
Cheers
Marilyn

lucasgalodoido (16537) 2008-07-08 11:30

Olá Aires,
muito interessante mesmo essa ponte, e gostei dos reflexos nos arcos dela e na água. A captura das cores ficou boa também, um belo momento esse.
Parabéns e Abraço

Vato_Law (11636) 2008-07-08 12:57

Olá Aires.
Mais um bel noturno, à primeir vista parecia-me que a ponte estava demasiado escura mas depois até lhe acho piada com as luzes a criarem as formas que a ponte toma.
Os reflexos do céu na superficie da agua estão muito bem captados.
A silhueta da ávore cria um belo efeito tambem assim como as luzes de Maribor ao fundo.
Um abraço.
Paulo

Bonsoir,
belle photo de ce superbe pont pris sous un POV extra, qui donne une jolie vue avec en plus ces reflets sur cette eau sombre.
Le village que l' on voit au travers de l' arche est magnifique sous cet angle avec ces lumières qui éclaire délicatement la photo.

Hello Aires,

A beautiful night photo with an original POV. Good use of light with nice reflections of the bridge and of the sky in the water. The bridge gives a nice diagonal too.
Best regards,
Roger

anducina (8062) 2008-07-10 3:54

Excellent cityscape, I like the magic of this moment. The silhouette of the bridge, the water with those superb reflections, the distant city at the blue hour, the sunset sky, the mixture of the natural and artificial light compose a very attractive scene.

TFS,
Andreea

Olá Aires,

Gosto muito desta tua foto,pelas cores do luscofusco,pelos reflexos da ponte e os seus candeeiros, pelo bom enquadramento.A composição está muiti bonita.
Júlio Jardim

adores (15255) 2008-07-10 17:06

Mais uma bela nocturna, Aires! Gosto muito deste pov e o reflexo está fantástico. Também foi tirada numa hora excelente. Gosto do detalhe das barraquinhas coloridas ao fundo.

Wanda1 (10878) 2008-07-10 22:24

Hi Aires,
You did well with the exposure for this image, I like that we can still see the dark reflections of the bridge on the water and the fading colours of the sunset in the sky and water together with the lights add some nice colour to the darkness. Great angle of view too.
Regards
Wanda

John_F_Kennedy (30581) 2008-07-10 23:10

Lovely evening capture with the reflections in the water. Good light. It's a wonderful shot.

ribeiroantonio (21723) 2008-07-11 13:47

A ponte fez uma separação perfeitas entre as duas zonas de luz e o facto de colocares o pôr-do-sol debaixo do arco foi muito bem visto. Está extraordinária, como sempre.
António

Bluejeans (31529) 2008-07-11 15:34

Oi amigo ,
Ficou magnifica esta tua foto na "hora azul" os reflexos estão muito bonitos , gostei muito da silhueta da ponte das luzes ao longo do rio , bom ângulo de visão em diagonal , parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

stego (22322) 2008-07-11 21:34

Olá Aires,
Depois de a ver de dia, agora é a vez de a ver na "hora azul". O PdV é estupendo e as cores estão fantásticas, com o céu e os reflexos a irem desde o laranja claro até ao azul escuro. Gosto imenso do enquadramento feito pelo primeiro arco da ponte à árvorezinha e às esplanadas.
Um abraço, José.

robertosalguero (2759) 2008-07-12 7:18

Olá Aires,

I can see this being one of the most beautiful bridges at one time. The setting and time of the evening enhance the view greatly. I like your point of view and the good use of low light to attain such good quality. Nice work Aires.

Roberto

La verdad Aires que esta foto es magnifica, quiero decir tantas cosas buenas de ella que no se por donde comenzar, tu foto es perfecta y las luces, el reflejo en el rio, ese majestuoso puente captado desde un estupendo POV hacen tu composición numero uno.
Felicitaciones.
Un fuerte abrazo.

Stepan (27167) 2008-07-20 23:08

A classical compo, but such an effective one. The light management is simply perfect to share the soft mood you had at the moment. So silent too... Very well done.

Hello, Aires!
In this image I especially like contrast between the coloured sky and dark silhouette of the bridge, which gives a kind of natural framing to the rest of the scene. Nice shot!
