Welcome to Aberdeen Photo

Photographer’s Note

Like the sign says: Welcom to Aberdeen!

Aberdeen is the 3th city of Scotland and has about 211.000 inhabitants. This street is Union Street in the city centre, where you find all the shops.

The church you see in the middle is the St. Nicholas Kirk (church), it was founded in the 12th century and the building is over 500 years old.

----------------------------------------------
It wasn't very sunny last weekend in Aberdeen, so I increased both the contrast and the saturation. I also warmified the photo. In order to post, the photo was rotated, cropped, resized and sharpened.

Hi Stef,
Ja, Schotland is het land van de festivals. Op onze terugreis wilde we langs Edinburg, maar tussen Edinburg en New Castle zat alles vol i.v.m. festivals en landbouwtentoonstellingen.
Groet Rob.
PS er ligt hier nog 1 Politiken, als er nog meer komen zullen we ze voor je bewaren.

Hey Stef. At first I was confused about where you took this. I was just in Aberdeen, Washington on my recent trip but I can assure you it doesn't look like this! You made the best of the lack of sunlight. Nice shot Stef!

And a fine way to welcome - you captured this place nicely and yes - grey weather also a problem in Denmark - but you must know that :-) thanks Stef for sharing.

Bonjour Stef,
Je suis content, j'ai vu une église ! ;o) - Plus sérieusement, c'est toujours intéressant de découvrir des endroits qui ne sont pas très loin de chez nous, mais par faute de temps ! Nous sommes bien au Royaume-Uni, les véhicules roulent à gauche !
Très bon cadrage nous permettant d'admirer les monuments de la ville.
Je remarque que la ville est très animée (foule, voitures, etc.).
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Stef, A nice capture of the busy street in Aberdeen. It looks a very busy city with all the cars and people. Nice composition to have the big sign filled up the empty sky and make up the dull color in the sky. A very well taken picture with nice contrast and sharpness.

Hm, deze had ik nog gemist, maar nou ben ik ook al door m'n punten heen voor vandaag. Die krijg je morgen dan. ;-)
Leuke foto, goeie compositie. De grijze kleuren van de gebouwen worden gecompenseerd door het verkeer en het spandoek. Ik vind het wel grappig dat die klokkentoren er twee keer opstaat, op het spandoek en 'in het echt'. :-)
Hilsner,
Lars
