Silver roofs, a photo from More og Romsdal, South

Photographer's Note

De la amplia panorámica (última foto) al plano corto. Sorprenden estos tejados de las casas de Alesund: por su tono grisáceo-plateado, por la variedad de formas de sus tejas, que parecen en ocasiones azulejos, por sus líneas, no siempre rectas. Los tejados se inclinan un poco cada uno para un lado, lo que añade algo de diversidad a una imagen que puede parecer monótona.

**********

From the wide panoramic one (last photo) to the short plane. These roofs of Alesund's houses surprise: for its greyish - silver tone, for the variety of forms of its tiles, which seem in occasions blue rollers, for its lines, not always straight. The roofs incline a bit each one for a side, which adds something from diversity to an image that can seem to be monotonous.

Hello Angel,

This is almost an abstract image, the monotone colour almost seems greyscale at a glance. Great use of texture, the thousands of roof tiles are very impressive, almost like fish scales. The layering of the houses, with nothing to separate them is very novel to me. Excellent work.

Cuando vi la thumbnail pense que era una foto en blanco y negro. Aora veo que los colores suaves le dan esa impresion. Me gusta mucho como captaste los techos y no mucho de las paredes. La foto tiene un sentido grafico bien interesante y la saturacion de techos da la idea de un lugar bien populado. Gracias Angel.

This is an interesting photo, Angel, and it certainly never gets boring to discover TE :) I like that you chose just to show the roof tops and they are certainly something, very beautiful indeed. Take care, Barbara.

Great pic, very graphical, I love all those lines composing a roof puzzle. Excellent details too.

Angel,
Again a kind of picture I like a lot.
You caught wonderful graphics, and your tight framing works perfectly here.
I like too the monochromatic colors, it enahces the geometric lines of the roofs.
Very nice, congrats,
Regards,
JB.

Bonsoir Angel
une jolie prise et une belle idée que d'avoir pu isoler cette succession de toits argentés. Le graphisme est superbe; J'aime beaucoup le résultat obtenu. Bravo

Este tipo de fotos, evitando toda referencia del mundo exterior, me gusta bastante. Aquí esta lograda, y el título no puede ser más efectivo. No sólo son tejados plateados, también son un reflejo de la luz de Alesund, o al menos, de la luz que vimos.
Gracias Angelillo,
Miguel

Hola Angel,

Hi Angel
Excellent cropping on this forest of roof; I like the cropping and the graphisme. It's interesting and beautifull.
Bertrand

bertolucci (13351) 2007-07-16 23:32

What a graphic take on this splendid array of roofs, Angel! I love the complex rhythm and the abstractness and it's almost duetone-ness. A great architectural compo with a fine crispness.
Have a fine day,
Bert

designsoul (21492) 2007-07-17 5:55

This is so beautiful, Angel! The most amazing thing is that it is not bw but colour. Looks so beautifully toned, the crop you made is so elegant and graphic, and the setting exquisite. How I miss Europe sometimes!
Take care,
sasa

dlevy23 (2018) 2007-07-17 6:07

Muy buena foto Angel, me gusta la composicion. Algo que hubiera sido bueno es algo de color en el medio de todo esta foto con tejados plateados.
Me gusta mucho.

Daniel

sadeik (3264) 2007-07-17 6:17

Great image, the repetiton is beautiful but it also has some subtle differences. A very good shot and well seen

Simon

luiscar (3286) 2007-07-17 6:24

Hola Angel,imagen con un POV original y creativo, de estos tejados, la verdad es que son raros, tienes razon en el comentario, a primera vista parece en B&W, pero se varios tonos de color.
buen trabajo
un saludo.

quetzal (3467) 2007-07-17 12:03

Hello Angel,
Nice shot with great graphic effects. Excellent title for this picture. The POV and well chosen and gives this shot a fish aspect.
Have a good evening
Jean-Louis

coco (30433) 2007-07-17 15:15

Hola Ángel.

La foto tiene un resultado espléndido donde la repetición de los tejados da un aire y una atmósfera únicas.

Un saludo.

rozy975 (3047) 2007-07-17 16:24

Great composition. Very abstract.
I like the idea.
Well done!

Hola Angel,
Bonne idee ce plan ressere pour attirer l'attention sur la multiplication des toitures dans cet esapce resserre, j'aime bien leur graphisme, tu pourrais peut etre essayer de rajouter du contraste pour le faire encore mieux ressortir, mais comnme ca c'est deja tres bien.
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

rbcy1974 (20758) 2007-07-18 4:21

Hola ANgel
Otra gema tuya. Muy buena concentracion en los detalles repetitivos de los techos. Una foto llena de grafismo.

Un saludo

Daniel

belido (19934) 2007-07-18 4:41

Hola Angel,

que lindo grafismo você conseguiu capturar aqui. Esses telhados nesse ponto de vista estão muito atrativos e compoem uma bela foto. Muito afiado seu senso fotográfico para capturar essa cena. Parabéns!
Saludos,

Hello Angel,
This is well seen by the eye of an artist!
Interesting shapes and patterns in an almost abstract creation...
Well framed with sharp fine details!
Greetings,

Hello Angel
C'est très graphique et étonnant cette vue des toits. j'ai pensé d'abord à une photo Noir et Blanc. Une belle définition sur toute la photo pour un résultat très agréable.
Beau travail et joli coup d'oeil!!
Amicalement
Hervé

oochappan (22043) 2007-07-20 5:14

Hi Angel
I almost thought it was a B&W seeing the thumb but opening I spot some colors the enhances this textures grey tile rythme of the roofs so marvellous here, an outstanding and remarkable view perfectly tight framed on target.
Henk

smarcell (19875) 2007-07-25 1:47

very very beautiful. I like the pattern, and the black and white overall tone.

capthaddock (28790) 2007-07-29 9:07

Clever crop Angel, Alesund has such natural beauty that I could not have imagined a photo detailing the rooftops would work so well.

jaywalker (16061) 2007-10-31 11:36

Hi Angel, I have not seen this photo in your collection before, however it is beautiful by its simplicity, the light is perfect & the composition superb, great shot, kind regards Wilson.

quillo (11840) 2012-01-15 12:42

Este encuadre cerrado de los tejados, es una idea que me ha rondado y aunque he tenido varios intentos nunca me ha satisfecho ... este es excelente (que parece en B/N) le da ese toque intemporal que tanto me gusta ... buen trabajo de contrastes y definición; enhorbuena.

Un abrazo amigo Ángel.
