The New Lausanne Photo

Photographer’s Note

Back again to the Flon which is really beginning to become a photographers' paradise - well for those who like contemporary architecture. This decoration is on the Flon Esplanade and thankfully the sky was already blue and waiting to be polarized.

Retour au Flon qui commence à devenir un paradis pour les photographes - plutôt pour ceux qui aiment l'architecture contemporain. Cette décoration est sur l'Esplanade du Flon et heureusement le ciel était déjà bleu et attendait de se faire polarizé.

Belle photo Nikki
Il me manque toutefois un sujet pour que j'accroche réellement, mais je suppose que c'est totalement personnel.
Bonne soirée
Chris

Ciao Nikky,
I like everything in this shot: the diagonal composition, the graphical effect, the golden light on the architectural details, the blue sky and the perfect sharpness!
What can I say?
Brava!
Laura

Hey there nicky, The POV is great, however architecture is not my type, but that doesn't mean I don't like it ;)

The exposure and colour balance here is superb. The polarizer filter is a "must" for those blue skies. However the contrast level over sky in PS does a good work too.

Nice one!
Regards
Stelios

Hola Nikki.

Me gusta la foto. Mejor que cualquiera que hiciera mi vecino y además creativa y rica en intensidad.

Me gusta. Sin duda esa es la frase.

Un saludo para todos.

PD: me voy a pasar varios días fuera y, como no, acabaré en Cocolandia

Salut Nikki,
Sympa de nous faire découvrir des détails graphiques qui nous échapperaient à coup sûr!
Amitiés

Hi,Nikki,
A nice idea. At first I thought these being birds but after opening the thumbnail, I saw it was something different.
A very clean shot.

Hej Nikki,
A fine reapeting pattern made of the little decorations. The off white colour toward the blue sky is really nice indeed. I like the fct that yo composed it the diagonal way. Perfect for a c.p-filter :).

Hello Nikki,

Hahaha, I like it how you say 'The sky was already blue and waiting to be polarized'. :-) Yep, the white triangles and blue sky work perfectly together!! Very nice combination.

Have a good weekend!
Dennis

Salut Nikki,
Excellent graphisme dans ton image !
Le genre de cherryripeade que j'aime beaucoup, qui montre ton très bon sens du cadrage, bien vu, bravo,
Bonne journée,
JB.

Hola fiera.

Desde luego, el "patrón" de la foto roto por las barras esas es bonito. Además, está bien contrastado y resalta más.

Me gusta vaya!

Un saludo a todos!

Hello Nikki,

Captivante vue de cette ribambelle de triangle. J'aime beaucoup le rythme apporté par toute ces formes et la perspective qui apparait dans l'image.
Bravo !
A demain.

A+

Hi Nikki,
a nice shot, with an excellent graphism of this modern architecture.
Great contrast of colors also.
Good photojob.
Ciao

hi Nikki,
definitely looks like photographers' paradise, especially for tilt and diagonal freaks like me :) love the polarized sky, and how the triangles are repetitive enough to create a hypnotic patterns, but with enough variations not to become boring. very nice :)

regards,
Kristine
