Modern and old Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this photo walking from Narodna trida to Karlovo namesti. I just turned from Narodna trida (near Tesco supermarket), turned my head back and saw this great view.
I liked it a lot and want to present you.
Though the quaolity of the photo is no good, I know.

No sky at all... I am just learning, hope it will be better next times.

Serwus Vladimir !
This is interesting composition with excellent mirror view of the old building in the modern one.
Quality is ok, it is due to the light conditions that the sky is white or overexposed.
In such cases there are some solutions: to leave as little of the sky as possible in Your frame; use underexposure (exposure compensation) f.e. -2/3; use as high aperture value (AV) as possible.
I think You can apply such changes in Your own CA85.
Hope it will work :)
All the best,
Mat

Very nice and clever idea to use the reflection of this old building on the windows of this modern one. Nice!

I think it is a good one, although perhaps i would crop some part of the right side, Vladimir; but the reflections are good and it is indeed a good contrast between the new and the old!

Brill photo, it's really interesting to see the combination of the old and the new buildings but expecially because of the reflection. Well spotted :)

Здравствуй Владимир!
You have a very sharp eye. You've captured the contrast between old and new very smartly. I like aslo the tramway net in your picture.
