Overpass Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is one of the many pedestrian overpasses in Glasgow. Supposedly, it is the longest one, and it located near the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. I took this phote whilst visiting Glasgow last week, and quite liked the intense red of the arches and the faded red and green of the walking deck.

I hope you like this photo.

very nice graphycal picture.
Maybe a person with a black silouhette in the middle of if would have improve it.
A good composition anyway.

Hi Martijn,
Mooi hoe deze slang zich richting het "Gordeldier" (bijnaam van het Conference Centre) slingert. Prachtig perspectief en mooie herhaling van de rode bogen. De goede crop van de foto zorgt voor een extra sterk effect. Mooi werk!
Groeten,
Lars

Dag Martijn,

Uw opstelling is zeer goed, gelijk kunnen we de wittelijn volgen en krijgen we een gigantische diepte in deze foto, dit leidt tot een mooi perspectief.
Het tunnel effect bewijst hier zijn grote kwaliteit.
Graag zie ik iemand wandelen op dit pad, alleen al voor de sfeer, maar blijkbaar was dit niet mogelijk.
Algemeen een zeer goede foto.
Bedankt!

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

Hi Martijn,

Lars had deze rode slang naar het gordeldier al aangekondigd. Een waarlijk fotogenieke plaats voor voetgangers die hier echter bijna totaal ontbreken.

Groet Rob

Hello Martijn,
One of the more colourful overpasses indeed!
But then why shouldn't we brighten the day when there is a possibility, hehehe...
I like the feeling of depth and the repetition effect!

The perspective of the image drags our eyes right into the scene. I love the colour and the repetiton. It is ever-so-slightly tilted. It possibly is more distortion than tilt as it is down at the left on the bottom step, but down on the right at the top. A tiny tweak with the transform tool would do the trick. Nevertheless a good image. Well done

Hi Martijn,
I remember I saw this place on a CD cover of a scottish group named Benêche. Very nice graphical composition, with great colours.

Olivier

Hello martijn
Well this is a very original red composition with interesting patterns.
I think you should post bigger size.
Cheers.

Hi martijn,
We often see such perspectives, but what makes this one special are the colors for this unusual combination is original, well seen.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Martijn, very good image!
i like a lot the graphic impact and the strong red...the game of the arches is great and the man at the end is very important
i add it to my theme RED COLOUR
ciao!

Merline (6578) 2008-04-25 9:43

I love red but don't seem to manage to get some in my pics:-)
This is very good Martijn. Strong graphism, well managed DOF, lovely mix of tones, if the person was a bit closer it would be even better, but already it is quite a sight. I've seen lately a great film over Glasgow, Red Road, do you know it ?

TFS
Kind regards

Bonsoir, cher Martijn,
Effet saisissant garanti avec cette perspective colorée et ces ombres projetées avec douceur. Le résultat est particulièrement brillant.
Toutes mes félicitations pour cette réussite.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Martijn,
a very interesting shot with a lot of DOF. the play of geometric forms is perfect and I mean not only the red bows but also the white line in the middle spliting the grey and red ground into two portions. Th eperson at the end is another important element to enhance the feeling of depth.

I do like this photo, however i don't like the way the council has painted the two different colours on the actual walk-way, it was much better before when there was only one colour.

emjleclercq (14310) 2008-06-19 14:20

Very nice composition using both the tunnel effect of the bridge, and the red arches supporting the roof. The character in the back gave a excellent depth to the image.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Martijn, Well created prospective as the eye follows down the path through these red arches, the person at the end is a great finish, the light is very good & wonderful overall colour, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Good morning Martijn,
very nice presentation of this pedestrian overpasses bridge in red,that looks as an minimalistic art work.The POV creates depth and the light is well managed.Well done.

Have a nice day,Danos

hello Martijn,
I understand very well why you took this photo, the hypnotic appeal of the colours and patterns is irresistable. I like the symmetry and the strong tunnel effect, they work well to emphasise the abstraction of the scene, while the person just in the right place lets the viewer to appreciate the scale and also makes the photo more lively. very well seen and presented, my compliments.

regards,
Kristine
