Alleys in Cuenca II Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hoy vuelvo a Cuenca, a mi pequeña serie de las estrechas calles del centro histórico de esa ciudad. No hay mucho que decir sobre estas fotos, salvo que me gustó su gran contraste entre la luz y las sombras, y el ambiente que se podía ver allí, y que hacía casi imposible tomar una foto con la calle vacía de gente, porque siempre hay personas paseando por ellas. Es un poco cansado pasear por estas calles con fuertes pendientes, debido a que hay que subir, bajar, volver a subir, así todo el día. Pero merece la pena el esfuerzo.

Los WORKSHOPS son otras tomas en distintas calles, para que podáis apreciar su encanto.

Today I come back to Cuenca, to my small series of the narrow streets of the historical center of that city. There is much no to say on these photos, unless I liked his great resistance between the light and the shades, and the atmosphere that could be seen there, and that it did almost impossible to take a photo with the empty street from people, because always there are people taking a walk by them. He is a little tired to take a walk by these streets with strong slopes, because there is to raise, to lower, to return to raise, thus all the day. But the effort is worth the trouble.

The WORKSHOPS are other takings in different streets, so that you could to appreciate its enchantment.

Hola Josep.

El POV és maco però la part de la dreta, massa il.luminada, no m'acaba de fer el pes del tot.

En qualsevol cas, un bon POV.

Salutacions, Òscar

Very nice street scene with interesting pov. Excellent light and shadow play and good sharpness and colours. Sometimes it's interesting to include people in an archietctural shot and this couple do the trick here.

Hola Amigo Josep,
Una exposition mas dificil con esta luz muy fuerte. Esta foto me evoca mi las estrechas calles de Nice. Acqui, me gusta ver como has encuedrado la escena.
Un saludo,
Fabrice

Hola Josep,

Streets smell life every time but if you are a narrow street then you can feel it's very warm. May be their size is coming closer to human or closer windows and balconies gives more relation between people and walkers too.

Your timing here is excellent. You are in shadow but frame is very well balanced in lightened part too. I like the alleys here also in your workshops too. Colors are in harmony and textures are very well detailed. It's more valuable with your very informative note as every time. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo

Hi Josep - it's the kind of pleasant street scene that I like, a narrow laneway, some shadow & some other details to catch the viewers eye, in this case the lamp-posts on the left side of the shot. The inclusion of the 2 people is good as it helps define the scale & size of the place.

Boas tardes Josep,
Compreendo a busca da beleza do contraste entre a luz e as sombras, mas parece-me que está um pouco demais.
Gosto muito das fotos nos workshops.

Hola Josep

Como dice OScar el pov y la composición esta genial y pienso... que atrae la atencion de la gente, pero la zona de la derecha esta algo fuertemente iluminada. De todos modos no es un grna problema
Saludos
Sergio
