Hello Hans

Amsterdam is a nice town.
A think that the photo will be rotate.
Perpective correction is for me a good idea, bot not everybody like this. I had made a WS to illustrate it.
Regards
JP

Cher Hans,
J'aime beaucoup ce cadrage serré sur ces façades d'immeubles. La présence des fenêtres évoque l'histoire des vies des occupants. Une photo qui n'est pas anodine et fort bien retranscrite.
Très bon travail technique et de poésie.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Hans. I like this one in the graphical setting, not least the use of the diagonal placment of the row with windows. Good details and use of light and colours. Yeah, strange to think that such a uniform facade will hide the most different stories behinf the windows :)

Well seen.

Dag Hans,
Bedankt voor gulle aandacht!!!
Het zijn niet alleen de ramen die het hier doen, de verticale lijnen in de foto maken de foto groot, maar ook de balcon afschermingen in metaal behoren tot het geheel, maar breken de eentonigheid en geven de foto een grotere wardering.
ik denk dat Amsterdam ontuitputtelijk moet zijn kwestie van foto's nemen, gewoon verder doen Hans in uw eigen stijl!
Groeten en goed weekend of vakantie!
John

Hi Hans, A nice perspective view with repetition patterns. Nice use of the sun light angle in taking this clear and sharp picture. Well done.

This one is very naturaly done, and you have also a good result in colors and light.
Great repetition from these windows and behind those ? The mystery.
Compliments

Very nice close up and repetitive pattern Hans, excellent details, very well executed, well done.

Goedeavond Hans. A good entry for your ever-growing Amsterdam series, where the idea to zoom in on the array of windows yiels a pleasant graphical result, and the diagonal angle works out favorably for an interesting composition. A nice rhythm is established by the brickwork and the array of wrought-iron elements. Very nice.

elihesamian (26091) 2005-07-12 15:24

indeed it's my question all the time,What story is happening behind the windows,here and there?!...full of stories,I think every person is a story,a story that not be written,and behind the windows,...the poeple has a what kind of life now?!...very nice shot in the serie,great TE shot,very well composed with great diagonal moving in the frame,nicely done,Hans,it's great.
Best Regards

Typische ramen die je veel in Amsterdam ziet, maar je moet er maar net op komen op ze op de foto te zetten. Eenvoudig idee op het eerste gezich, maar een prachtige resultaat, vooral door de herhaling van de vormen. Inderdaad, als je dit zo ziet denk je: wat gebeurt er allemaal achter de ramen...

capthaddock (28640) 2005-07-13 9:15

Hi Hans - brilliant composition and perspective, very clever use of repetition. I like the combination of brick and wrought iron.

robiuk (10763) 2005-07-16 19:39

Hi Hans,
Nice repetitive pattern of the long-streching facade.
I have no objections to barrel distortion as it is difficult to 'straighten it up', but would only go to the extent so the gutter is dead-vertical and separates the whole view into 1/3 or 2/3.
The overall graphic impact is strong with an accent on tiny little balkonies and a detail of pot plant being visible in one of them to break the uniformity.
Very good,
Robi

Hi Hans! A very short but good note, as well as this simple picture of lots of windows, which you captured with great perspective and quality. A good work, I liked it!

rhizomes (15325) 2005-08-04 14:55

Très belle photo et commentaire intéressant !
Il est vrai que chaque fenêtre est une "porte ouverte" sur une infinité de cellules...
Amsterdam est vraiment une très belle ville où l'on peut découvrir notamment de nombreuses réalisations en architecture contemporaine...

Hello Hans,

This one I like too. The repeating patern of the windows.
I only have the feeling that you should cut part of the right side to make it even better.

Groet,

Hendrik

Hi Hanssie,
A very nice angle to take this shot, good effect and sharpness. Very well done.

efimoore (2126) 2005-09-13 2:12

Indeed a nice window shot. Interesting windows. I can imagine different compositions and may be night shots :)

Jeppe (18623) 2005-09-24 19:27

Seems to be new and old building with the same architecture - or the left one better kept - thanks Hans - I like the window view and the inspiration.

Hi Hans, Allereerst bedankt voor je bezoeken gisteren! Prachtige capture dit met een zeer mooi grafisch ritme. De perspectivische vertekening werkt erg goed samen met het smalle kleurenpalet. En inderdaad uniformiteit vs individualiteit...mooie kwestie waarbij de gordijnen e.d. al iets weergeven van de verschillen. Mooi en betekenisvol werk!
Fijne zondag, Bert.

Interesting POV and perspective. Fine repetive motive. Smart note.

alvaraalto (5225) 2005-11-11 17:26

Hi Hans,
Bedankt voor je uitgebreide bezoek. Bladerend door je laatste foto's vielen er een aantal op omdat je een benadering hebt gekozen die me zeer aanspreek en ikzelf ook vaak opzoek. Zoals deze. Ter illustratie een WS met een Deense foto van deze zomer.
groet Rob

ha! Familiar scenery!! very good capture! What's also very typical is that the whole row is renovated, except for one house. One owner who doens't feel the need to join ;-)
Good street with nice balconies.
