Dundee Reflections Photo

Photographer’s Note

Dundee Reflections

Time for a new reflections photo and with this photo I go a little further up north again in Scotland, to the city of Dundee.
We were very briefly there, actually we only had to change from bus to train. The railway station wasn't the most beautiful building in the city, but at least it had those reflections in the facade, which also were nicely distorted. So this is a new photo for my Reflections-theme as well. :-)

Dundee (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Dèagh) is with a population of 143,000 the fourth-largest city in Scotland, after Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. It's located in the council area Dundee City and on the north bank of the Firth of Tay.

Hope you like this photo and thanks for your visit!

Hey Lars,

Nicely composed, great effect with the reflections. Clarity and sharpness are yet again wonderful.

See you around.

Bonjour, cher Lars,
Le Modernisme possède des avantages certains en plaçant de nombreuses glaces argentées faisantnaître ainsi un joli miroir du passé !
Une très bonne prise de vue alliant modernisme à l'ancien.
Amitiés.

Hello Lars,
the grand master of reflections! Excellent the reflection of the opposite building, on the sun lounge of the Dundee Station.The record of the light and the colours of the reflections are superb, as the light distortion of the real buildings.Informative your note too.

Regards,danos

I can just imagine you, camera at the ready, actively looking for reflections everywhere you go :D Another good one for your collection. I particularly like the distortions. Well done

Hej Lars,
now we all now that Dundee station is worth a visit on sunny days because of the good reflection :-) Do they clean it often enough?
Very interesting and good one with a lot of the city included and also a puzzle because some repetitions might be real ones and others only in your chosen mirror.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Lars,

yes, it can be quite frustrating when not having time to see the city, only a small glimpse of it. Even though the building itself did not offer much aestetic pleasure you managed to find your way around it and use it to show nearby scenery, which looks quite impressive and worth stopping next time for a bit longer period of time. Distortion is small enough to give fair impression of surroundings and some pleasant patterns. The only thing I would do different here is cropping the image above visible board on bottom of the image. To get more panoramic view. Hope you do not mind me being a little creative here. :) I would like to say looking forward for some new impressions from Dundee but I guess I'll have to wait for the next time you'll stop there. :)

Kind regards,
Jeri

Hello Lars

Particularly I think that reflexes never cease to maravillarme, whether in the water or on the glass all over the large number of textures and forms that occur. I love the composition you created here, with great wisdom and originality, projects an urban landscape, almost perfect, with minor deviations, but with a lot of contrast and sharpness. Excellent work, friend

Ciao Lars,
genial, simply genial. A picture in picture. Amazing as the reflex has not lost the neatness and the different tones of light. Compliments, really an excellent job.

Slightly tilted to the right (forgive the comment if it is voluntary), but nice colors for these Scottish reflections.

All the best,

Dag Lars,

Ik volg het engels voetbal niet meer, maar vroeger had Dundee een zeer goede ploeg.
Ik zie regelmatig een foto met weerspiegelingen in glasgevels van u, moet een passie zijn wanneer u een glasgevel passeerd en daar deze schitterende reflecties ziet!
Opnieuw een goede foto zowel van kleur als van inhoud.
Bedankt!

Prettig weekend,
John.

Budapestman (40962) 2008-02-29 12:09

Hi Lars,
Splendid impression with impressive details, the composition is effective and attractive. I like the spectacular reflection and POV, Well done! Have a nice weekend

Good evening Lars,
This reflection is superb, precise and clear. It is well seen and quite carried out. Good weekend
Cordially

Hi Lars,
It's a good addition to your theme on reflections. It's very well composed and well sharpened. I like the big red letters and the coincidence that we see only old buildings reflected on the surface of this modern construction.
Regards, José.

Lars,
A fabulous composition with nice colors and lighting. The reflection in the windows surface are great.

Well done!

The vertical windows form an interesting pattern that blends well with the reflected buildings.
Nice work.
Phil

evanrizo (456) 2008-02-29 23:16

Hi Lars, if the down comer lines of the building were not on the image it would be very easy to believe that the reflections are the real old buildings!
They are stunning and all the composition works very good.
What about the small part on the top right, the overexposed sky, if you had cropped it out?
Cheers
Evangelos

Hello Lars!
Great reflections! Beautiful city! Nice colors, clarity and details!
TFS, Best regards, Zorica

Lars bonjour.
Ce jeu de réflexions sur la façade vitrée est très amusant à voir. Les montants en aluminium rythment la présentation.
Beau travail.
Jacques

Belle photo de cette station ou se reflètent tous ces bâtiments, jolies couleurs et très bonne netteté de l' ensemble même si il sagit de réflections.

Amitiés Thomas

Hallo Lars,
Een heerlijke reflectie van de stad in de gevel van het Dundee Stadion. Echt 2 foto's voor de prijs of een.
Mooie strakke gevel met die rode letters erboven en een haarscharpe spiegeling.
groet Rob

UlfE (8837) 2008-03-02 10:43

Hi Lars,

No doubt where you are. You have chosen an excellent POV and I believe that with all the sections of the facade of the station. The building in the background is sort of duplicated. A wonderful effect and very well seen. Excellent job. Have a nice Sunday evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

Emile (19789) 2008-03-08 14:07

Wish you a good weekend.
Best regards.
