Grey afternoon Photo

Photographer’s Note

Kornhamnstorg in Gamla stan. The Christmas tree is there and all the lights, but were are the snow..

The square is named after the harbour Kornhamn ( "Grain Harbour Square")where corn delivered to the city by ships from the lake Malaren area was embarked in the Middle Ages.

Hello, a wonderful shot; I think you have a little tilt on the right which is a pity since it is very important to see the horizontal line in such a picture. However, this is a marvellous picture, with the coldness of the air bering completely warm up by all these littles lights, as little suns... Beautiful...

a bit too much tonemapped, otherwise well exposed (hdr). try next time to keep in mind to correct the tilted horizon. with my best wishes, valentinos

As far as reflection shots go this one has such a lot going for it in the muteness of those dusky colours, subdued lights and fine details - nice work Boa!

There seems to be an optical tilt to the right - but maybe there is an angle in the harbour wall too?

best wishes Kev

Hello Boa,
a somber but delightful view, beautiful colours. The only strange thing is that the horizon seems to be tilting, probably due to the configuration of the quays.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Boa, I like the mood in this one - it's so different from tropical Burma, where I live now. You've managed the light very well, and made the most of the reflections. A gloomy, but at the same time cosy atmosphere... Good work!
Regards,
Ryno

A splendid night view of a charming city which I had the opportunity to visit last year. Particular atmosphere where the lights and reflections seem to fight the prevalence of obscurity. Well done,
Donato

Hi Boa
Although there is a slight tilt this is none the less a fantastic photo. The reflection is wonderful. What beautiful buildings you are showing us and great sharpness you achieved for a night shot. TFS
Cheers

Hello Boa!
What a great night view of that part of Stockholm. Sweden seems an atrractive country. Excellent exposure settings and point of view. Amazing colours and sharpness. The atmosphere looks great! Good job!
Best regards
