trapped in the web Photo

Photographer’s Note

Brooklyn bridge seen from below....I felt almost trapped in the web of steel wires....

In my opinion the most suitable version is the black and white...

a new one for my theme falling deep into colourlessness

Hi Silvio,
At first sight, I thought it's a mirror reflection or something like that. Then, I noticed the flag is only at left side and buildings are not symmetrical.
Each line in the photo, little pieces of the "web" somehow pulling the viewer into the image. Nice POV and good choice of B&W...
Congrats,
Burcu

Bellissima prospettiva e gran bel gioco di grafica.
Eccellente la resa del bianco e nero.
Ottimo lavoro amico mio.

Inserisco la foto nel mio tema dedicato al bianco e nero.

Hello Silvio,
great graphic effect of the wires, I can feel strange feeling of diving into the picture.
Well done

Best regards

The B&W works well.

Ciao Silvio!
Excellent idea and superb visual results!
Pov and black&white were great choices in this one!
Sharpness is suitable to the image, exposure is correct! The composition was very well seen, thought and done!
TFS - congratulations!
My warmest regards and greetings from Brazil,

Hi Silvio,
Yes the BW format creates a art worthy mystique.
Especially of this Brooklyn icon.

Having worked for the Dept. of Transportation many moons, I am attracted to bridges.

Good job,
Ray

Ciao Silvio! Vedo che sei sempre super attivo, bravo!
Sono d'accordo con alcuni altri commentatori che avresti potuto tentare il B/N con questa immagine, peraltro di grande impatto.
A presto, Cristian

Ciao Silvio, bella prospettiva e magnifica grafica, ottimo bianco e nero, bravo, ciao Silvio

Ciao Silvio
I saw this one few days ago and I want to write a comment but I couldn't, I do it today. Now I know how a fly must feel in a spiderweb :)
I like the perspective with all the lines right to the center of the shot, and also de B&W. Nice to see your pictures again.
Hugs,
Sonsoles

Hi Silvio,
Your visit to the States gave you great photographic opprtunities!
This famous bridge is a good example of how a strong garphism can impress you. The web with so many lines is a nice play for the eyes. B&W is a good choice.
Ciao,
Deniz

ps: your latest policewoman is a good portrait with much of humane expression on her face, i would write to it too, but the sharpness issue prevented me...

Bonjour Silvio,

Alors comme ca tu es allé a NY, un voyage que je n ai pas encore eu l occasion de faire. Cette photo est tres proche de celle que j avais envi de faire de ce pont tres celebre.
Je suis d accord avec toi, le N&B est vraiment le meilleur choix sur ce type de photos.
J aurais voulu en voir encore plus :-) Il va falloir que tu demandes un zoom 10-20 au Pere Noel.

Yves.

Ciao Silvio, bellissima inquadratura che riprende l'intreccio di tiranti d'acciaio del mitico ponte! Sono d'accordo con te, il B & W è appropriato. Complimenti, Adele

Ciao Silvio,
Mi a piaciuto moltissimo la tua prospettiva, sembra veramente una ragnatela.
Credo anche che il Bianco e Nero è perfetto per questa scena.

Congratulazioni!

mauro61 (15690) 2009-09-07 14:07

ciao Silvio,
la perfetta simmetria con ponte e cavi di acciaio abbinata al B&W rendono lo scatto molto particolare.
La struttura in mattoni ben contrastata si staglia bene sul cielo nuvolo.
ottimo lavoro
un caro saluto

Hello,
you can almost see the size of that bridge,
the symmetry is great, I feel like a spiderman :)
God choice with B&W,
TFS

paololg (13761) 2009-09-25 12:06

Questa stranamente mi era sfuggita. Si, concordo con te, a meno che tu non avessi a disposizione un cielo fantastico, la scelta del B&W è stata ottima. Prospettiva eccellente, sembra di essere dentro una ragnatela. Lavoro superbo, come dicono i francesi.
Ciao, passa un buon fine settimana!
Paolo

ellelloo (4815) 2009-09-30 4:06

Ciao Silvio,

Greetings from rainy Finland,

Interessante questa interpretazione del famoso ponte. Bello anche il bianco e nero
Ciao Stefano

POV un po' inquietante, mi sento in prigione, uso del B/N azzeccato ... significativa la bandiera lassu' in alto ...

Hi Silvio

Interesting web of cables
Well done to do B&W - suitable
Good graphic image
Good choice for POV
The image seems slightly tilted, which could have been adjusted but otherwise very good photo

TFS,
Tosca
