Madrid Lights Photo

Photographer’s Note

One of the most beautiful buildings in Madrid is the royal palace. The royal palace is located near the center of Madrid, right next to Madrid's cathedral, both of which can be seen in this picture. The palace is the large rectangular building to the left.

Excelente foto noturna, com muita nitidez e muito bom enquadramento. Uma noite realmente muito escura.

Hola Manu :

Como amante de las fotos nocturnas, debo decir que esta esta preciosa. Un gran contraste con la luz del edificio. Y ni que hablar del DOF.

un fuerte abrazo
Alejandro

Hola Manuel
coincido con Coco, tal vez si hubieras sacado la foto unos momentos antes, la noche no se hubiera "tragado" al Palacio Real.
Pero si, es un hermoso lugar, y merece las fotos que se le sacan!

Sigue compartiendo!
Saludos, Paula.

Hi Manuel,
It's been a while since I got around to checking your album so thanks for taking the time to check on mine and leave a critique! I won't bore you with any excuses or reasons for being absent for so long...
It's hard to pick just one pic from your album. You have so many nice ones!
This pic is so nice. It's like a palace of light floating in an ocean of blackness. The composition is wonderful and your colours and use of light are extremely good! I've always found it difficult to get images like this and have had quality problems but I seen no sign of that with this pic.
Excellent work, my friend!

Hugs,
Tony

Está bonita esta tua foto nocturna de Madrid. Mas, acho que com um tempo de exposição um pouco mais longo terias conseguido captar mais pormenores à volta dos dois edifícios.

Hola Manuel.

¿Soy el primero? (si lo soy, cuando vuelva con puntos dejaré de serlo).

Interesante foto nocturna muy bien expuesta y compuesta.
La iluminación sobre los edificios es muy buena para la foto aunque puede que antes de que fuera noche cerrada habrías tenido oportunidades más interesantes.

Carlos.

pablominto (40824) 2007-01-21 8:46

Hello Manuel,
A very pleasant nighttime image!
It is like the beautiful palace and the cathedral is hovering in the air...
Attractive colours and fine details, well done my friend!

Vato_Law (11682) 2007-01-21 14:09

Olá Manuel,
é engraçado que eu tenho uma foto muito parecida com esta mas com a luz do dia. Bela vista esta deste fantastico palacio com uma luz bem bonita a iluminá-lo. Os detalhes estão bastante bons e as silhuetas das arvores criam uns efeitos bem interessantes.
Um abraço.
Paulo

papagolf21 (56483) 2007-01-21 16:59

Bonsoir, mon ami Manuel,
Faire une bonne photo de nuit est un exercice très difficile, mais ici le résultat est excellent.
La mise en lumière de ce palace royal prend davantage d'importance.
Une bien belle réalisation.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Olá, Manuel! As belas construções parecem flutuar no espaço escuro! Excelente efeito de luz e sombra, amigo, numa foto noturna de composição caprichosa. E Madri, convenhamos, é uma festa para os sentidos! Abraço grande! Miguel.

Emile (20003) 2007-01-21 22:57

Hola Manuel.
Esta foto esta muy bien captada, presenta muy buena iluminacion y una interesante silueta.
Tu POV es muy bueno y la definicion es magnifica sobre todo tomandola de noche a una distancia importante. No nos informas que exposicion usaste ???
Un abrazo y felicitaciones por esta muy buena foto.

barrufeto_77 (25817) 2007-01-22 1:27

Hola manuel.

Haz una prueba: corta un poco el cielo y ponle un marquito blanco. Seguro que queda mejor. Yo te lo haría en forma de WS pero en el trabajo no tengo el Photoshop... :P

En cualquier caso, un fotón.

Un saludo, Oscar

Hola manuel

Good graphism, & a good exposure level to make the most of the low light levels. Excellent sharpness & pov. I like the division in horizontal layers & thirds. Bravo!

Another excellent night shot. The blackness surrounding the buildings adds emphasis to their beauty. Well exposed image.

C'est une excellente photo de nuit, Manuel, avec deux monuments qui sortent tout en couleur de cette nuit noire.

Hola Manuel,
This is a beautiful night photo of Madrid. I like how you framed the image also. Good lights, colors, and details. Greetings and TFS. Danilo

riclopes (33011) 2007-01-22 9:28

Olá Manuel, mais uma bela imagem nocturna de Madrid. Gosto do ambiente nocturno com tanto preto à volta dos monumentos que parecem pairar no ar, com a sua majestosidade. Muito bem!
Um abraço amigo,
Ricardo

Interessante composição Manuel, acredito que faltou apenas um pouco de nitidez ou talvez foco no palácio. A exposição está muito boa.

josepmarin (33835) 2007-01-22 11:57

Olá Manuel,
difícil foto nocturna, bien resuelta, y con un gran contraste entre los bellos tonos dorados del Palacio Real y la Catedral de la Almudena, con la oscuridad absoluta que los rodea.
Bien hecha, tiene un gran impacto visual.
Un saludo, amigo mío,
Josep

sergio1 (12150) 2007-01-22 18:35

Hola Manuel

Increible toma nocturna del Palacio Real.La definicion es perfecta y me gusta mucho como utilizas las siluetas inferior para cerrar el plano

Perfecto

Hej Manuel,
A very nice night capture from Madrid. The lighting of the buildings is really nice and I like the foreground with the silhouettes of the trees. The very dark sky works well too to make the buildings stand out better. Good work!
Hilsen,
Lars

TeresaT (10733) 2007-01-22 19:10

Olá amigo,

E a luminosidade também está perfeita.

This is a fascinating and very spectacular photo. Its an impressive POV and fine composition. Glittering and picturesque architecture details. Superb shot.
Thank you, nice days

Cretense (56318) 2007-01-23 11:08

Hi Manuel!

You were "absent" for some time but now it seems that your back strong. Excellent nightshot, great sharpness and details. Great colour managment although I think that the results would be even more impressive if you had taken it during the "blue" hour. Besides that , a great job!

Hercules

Bonsoir Manuel,
Belle prise de vue de nuit, tu as bien géré l'exposition, les bâtiments ressortent bien dans la nuit, une image bien réalisée Manuel, félicitations!
Saludos
Christian

t0mmm1 (5434) 2007-01-24 15:27

Hi Manuel,
nice building and nice artificial light you've catched here in nice composition. You could do it even better if you took the advantage of the blue hour, so the sky wouldn't be so dark... but I like it anyway.
Have a nice day,
Tomi

isabela_sor (42189) 2007-01-25 9:21

Hi Manuel. This is a superb night composition. Well cropped with some trees on the left side to balance those fine buildings. Perfect clarity and colours. Did you use a tripod or rest on a wall? tfs. Murray.
