Hello Dimitris,
Very beautiful with the dark hills separating the blue Rhine from the blue sky. Also with all the coloured lights and their reflections of the many ships.

Hi Dimitris,
very beautiul blue hour photo. Well composed. The long exposure created some blur on the ships, but that is unavoidable.
Well done

Bonjour Dimitris,
j'ai vécu en 2003 cette magnifique soirée sur le Rhin, avec musique classique, je pense que c'était Wagner et ce feux d'artifice grandiose qui résonnait dans toute la vallée, et aussi ce moment où toutes les sirènes des bateaux ont hurlé.
Un moment inoubliable dans lequel tu me plonges à nouveau, par cette photo très réelle et magnifiquement rendue. Des jeux de lumières superbes.
J'adore.

Friendly regards.
Daniel.

Hi Dimitris,

Indeed the right title. This is certainly a feast of light, but also a feast of colours. The dark blue of the sky and the water is the perfect background.

Groet Rob

buscape (3609) 2009-08-17 14:59

Hallo Dimitris,
schöne Aufnahme von diesem Lichterfestival zur blauen Stunde. Die Farben sind einfach klasse. Vor allem das tiefe Blau im Kontrast zu den Lichtern sieht echt toll aus. Die Belichtung ist einwandfrei und trotz der 6 Sekunden Belichtungszeit erscheinen die Boote kaum verschwommen. Schön auch die Lichtreflektionen auf dem Wasser. Gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut.
Viele Grüsse aus dem Donautal,
Helmut
