Mysterious street Photo

Photographer’s Note

In the cold night, taking a walk by the solitary streets of “Santa Pau”, I found several corners with much enchantment, as this one.
Santa Pau, is a small medieval town situated in the volcanic natural park of "La Garrotxa", in the north part of Catalunya, and if you have the opportunity, I recommend you to visit it.

That night I went to sleep with a certain restlessness, asking to me “how the nocturnal photos would be?”, and here are the results. I hope you like them.

The exposure time used was 2 seconds using f4,8 and the sensitivity film was ISO 100.
This time, I had to put the camera upon a flowerpot, another one of my improvised tripods!
You can see another night view of this beautiful town here: [ Closed by night ]

Beautiful photograph! I like the play of the two primary colors, the shades of green and yellow. The photographer's note is filled with useful information. Thanks for sharing.

Hola Jaume, nice night photo and again well exposed. It is a bit similat to your previous post but this one is more like a close-up revealing more details and textures. I like the green-yellowish combination of colours and the contrast. What film did you used? Anyway well done!

Regards, Christian

Hi Jaume,
A very well planned composition. The spaces are very interesting and the open door continue to let you imagine what is beyond. Some more mysteries??? I love the textures and lighting too. Congratulations!!

what an interesting POV, but IMO, the best part of this photo is the exposure, as it is almost flawless.
How interesting the shadows have come out a bit green-ish.
The place looks mysterious and inviting.
thanks and have a great day.

Preciosa foto, la tomaste desde un buen angulo que permite ver donde conduce las escaleras de piedras, muchas veces nos quedamos con esa interrogacion. Muy buena iluminacion y tienes a pesar de los dos segundos de exposicion un excelente foco. El pote de flores te sirvio muy bien de tripode.Muy buenos detalles y colores. Felicitaciones.

Another superb shot of this wonderful area. Once again the colors are just incredible to behold. The textures on the green wall is just amazing. Well done!

Very mideaval atmosphere, and strange green hue on the exteriors. Excellent note as always. I wish the top of the upper arch was included, but never mind, it works just fine.

Hola Jaume,

Nice night photo ! The exposure is well chosen and gave a good sharpness.

I like all the contrasts that your picture gives !
Contrast between the cold and warm colours, the closed and open doors, upstairs and downstairs, stone and wood... Me gusta mucho !

Hasta luego,
Youssef.
