Rosenborg Slot Photo

Photographer’s Note

Rosenborg Slot

Last Friday we had some heavy snow, about 10cm I guess. So when Sunday was a very sunny day, I decided to walk around in the centre of Copenhagen.
Here you can see Rosenborg Slot (Rosenborg Castle), located in the heart of the city in a park called Kongens Have (King's Garden).

Rosenborg Slot was built in 1606 by King Christian IV as his summer house. The castle is built in Dutch Renaissance style, just as Frederiksborg Slot, that I visited in December and also was built by King Christian IV. The castle is expanded several times, but got its present condition in 1624. Until 1710 Rosenborg was used as a royal residence. Nowadays Rosenborg is a museum and houses the Royal Collections. Also the exhibition of the Crown Jewels and the Danish Crown Regalia attracts many tourists.
The garden around Rosenborg is the oldest royal garden of the country and is popular among the people of Copenhagen in summer time to spend sunny days in.
The building you see on the right side of the castle is Statens Museum for Kunst, the National Gallery.

Another picture of Rosenborg, taken in summer time, can be found here.

I hope you like this winter picture from the heart of Copenhagen. :-D

Hi Lars, I am not sure if I could jump up first for this one.
Thanks for the notes about the significant of this place. You have managed to get a nice contrast with the blue sky as your background and patches of snow as your foreground. I like the repetition patterns of the windows shown in this picture. A well captured nice and clear image. Well done.

Hallo Lars,
I waited for a moment to give Wes the honour for rewarding this lovely picture.
You took perfect advantage of the ideal circumstances. The snow, the beautiful winter weather and the lovely castle.
Groet Rob

Hi Lars,
Excelent notes and a great capture of this beautiful castle so well seen by your point and angle of view with a splendid enquadrement and light, colors and soft sharpness. Very good work so well seen and composed. Have a nice week and my congratulations.

My best regards.
Fernando

Hi Lars
Great image of a very beautiful church made even more beautiful by the snow topped walls. Lovely clear blue sky too, and a very pleasing composition.
Well done
Peter

Hi Lars. Good choice with the POV on the corner like this. That castle looks really tall and not so easy to fit in its entirety. Nice shot Lars.

Bonjour Lars,
une photo bien cadrée où le bâtiment entier est visible, on voit bien le plan d'eau gelé qui entoure ce chateau.
Les teintes sont très naturelles et le bleu du ciel premet de rendre le tout très agréable à l'oeil.
BIen vu.
Daniel.

Hello Lars,
Nice contrast between the red of the castle and the snow.
However I do find the castle abit too centered for my taste, perhaps a vertical frame?
Regards
Daniel

Hi Lars,
Great composition, full of light and bright colours. I like the point of view you chose in order to present this wonderful church! Very nice work!

Regards John

Bonjour Lars,
C'est presque une cathédrale ce château, tant la tour principale ressemble à une tour-clocher qui voudrait toucher le ciel. L'architecture est en effet de style renaissance Hollandais, l'on retrouve ces fameux pignons à gradins.
Très bon cadrage pour présenter ce prestigieux édifice.
Les verticales sont parfaites.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Beste Lars,
Dit heeft mooi gefotografeerd hetis werkelijk een postkaart, echte kleuren mooi verticaal perfectief, de afsluit muur goed in een V genomen, en natuurlijk de sneeuw doet de rest en maakt van deze foto een juweeltje.
Groeten uit een koud Vlaanderen en wat lichte mot sneeuw.
John.

Snow and blue sky together always make appealing photos. Together with this wonderful castle you have a winner. Well composed from the corner of the wall.
Kath
Your Dad and Wes seem to be having fun :)

MarekP (4744) 2006-01-26 7:46

Hi Lars,
This is a beautiful castle and you have captured it very well to show all its details. I'd just try to add more contrast and sharpness.

Thanks,
Marek

very nice building, I like the pic witht he foreground wall here, nice composition and also the image is very clear, well done

capthaddock (28640) 2006-01-26 10:22

Hi Lars - the low winter light does justice to the charming castle, I like the way the colour of the bare branches is similar to the brick used in construction, the snow also adds a nice touch.

Didi (35782) 2006-01-26 13:30

Bonjour Lars
Une très bonne présentation de cette architecture locale.
Les couleurs contrastent parfaitement avec le ciel bleu.
Je note aussi un très bon commentaire.

Hello Lars

jbweasle (9294) 2006-01-26 14:44

Hi Lars, wonderful light again for this shot. A very attractive and detailed picture of this old castle.

Stepan (27167) 2006-01-26 15:37

That's how I imagine North of Europe... Cold, straight, sunny...
Good light.

Hej Lars, prachtig archi-capture met sfeerverhogende sneeuw, heerlijk om naar te kijken. De PoV is uiteraard weer goed gekozen, en de details en kleuren zijn top. Een mooi detail is hoe de schaduwen op de muur zich verbonden hebben met de boom erachter. Erg goed werk!
Goed weekend toegewenst!
Bert

Hi Lars
A well captured photo of this building. The blue sky gives the shot great impact and the shadows add depth and some intereseting patterns. The angle is good too, as it gives the picture a three dimensional aspect.
Good work
Aubrey

Steft (5962) 2006-01-27 8:29

Hoi Lars,
Erg mooie foto. Zeer idyllisch. Eignelijk had je een link moeten maken naar je zomerfoto van Rosenborg met die bloesem. Ik zou misschien de foto iets verscherpen, zoals Marek ook al schreef, met name de top van de toren is wat onscherp. Wel een erg mooie blauwe lucht.
Vi snakkes,
Stef

Emile (19811) 2006-01-27 15:43

Hola Lars.

Well done.

sergecross (3438) 2006-01-28 7:12

Lars, i like the point of view that takes all the building. It is extraordinary the arquitecture it has. Excellent picture.
Sergio

john_c (24635) 2006-01-29 12:08

Hi Lars,
A very well composed shot of this magnificent structure. I love the play of light and shadow on the walls and also the pleasant blend of brown, red and white hues here. The clarity of detail allows the eye to enjoy all the fine features of architecture. The clear blue sky completes a very fine capture. Its a keeper, Lars.
John

sarju (5308) 2006-02-01 12:35

apazevedo (5469) 2006-02-04 13:34

Yes, I like this Winter picture, Lars! Excellent one, beautiful castle, great colours, contrast and detail. I also like the shadows on the brick wall and the surroundings, creating a very good composition!

aloyho (6105) 2006-02-06 0:07

Hi Lars,
The subtlety of the colours does change the atmosphere as compared to the summer scene and it is nice to watch this transformation. I like the good control of the colours and the light which gives warmth to the place. A beautifully composed shot!! Regards.

jafadabret (39033) 2006-03-06 4:02

Lars, tu as là une excellente photo avec des couleurs idéales. Ce château vieux rose ressort bien sur le bleu du ciel et la neige donne encore plus de charme à ce lieu chargé d'histoire.

abulafia (4802) 2006-07-04 5:46

Hej Lars

riclopes (32869) 2006-07-08 7:51

Hej Lars,
There are several things that I like here. First of all, the snow in this sunlighted scene - allways attract me. Than, the beautiful architecture, indeed, very similar with Frederiksborg Slot (that's why this sound so familiar to me). The lighting is marvellous, as well as the colors and the excellent chosen of the POV. A really beautiful image!
Hilsen,
Ricardo

emjleclercq (14133) 2008-02-05 14:21

Good framing and nice colors over this very pure sky.

All the best,

Emmanuel
