Landskrona Citadellet Photo

Photographer’s Note

Landskrona Citadellet

If you have seen my panorama of Helsingør, you know that we also went to Sweden, when we visited Denmark earlier this month.
First we took the ferry between Helsingør and Helsingborg and then we drove along the coast to Malmö and took Øresundsbron (Oresund Bridge) back to DK.
In between Helsingborg and Malmö, the city of Landskrona is located, where we never had been before. This photo shows you Landskrona Slott, Citadellet (Landskrona Castle, The Citadel).

Landskrona Slott, Citadellet is a former Danish castle, built by the Danish King Christian III between 1549 and 1559, when the Southern part of the present Sweden (Skåne, Halland and Blekinge) was still Danish. It became Swedish in 1658 after the Treaty of Roskilde.
The name Landskrona means "The Country's Crown".

The city of Landskrona has about 28,000 inhabitants, the municipality about 40,000, making it the fifth biggest city in Skåne. Also the island of Ven in the Öresund is part of the municipality. Landskrona is also the harbour for the ferries to Ven.
The city was founded in 1413 by King Erik VII of Pomerania.

This view is a stitch of two pictures, made with Autostitch. I couldn't get the castle in only one. :-)
Hope you like it!

Bonjour Lars
un grand angle (grâce à l'assemblage) intéressant puisqu'il permet de nous faire bénéficier de cette architecture dans son entier. Belle lumière et bon choix du format de la photo.
amicalement

Very different castle architecture to what we are used to seeing. It almost looks industrial. I like the POV you chose which works very well with the curve of the moat(?)arranged to be symmetrical in the frame. Very good quality with an excellent stitch.

Well done

Hi Lars,

The stitch has worked perfectly. Good PoV on a corner of the moat. This makes possible to see to sides of the castle in a kind of "V" composition. This time your mark (reflections) are only slightly marked. But the light in the sun and over the castle is excellent.
There is only two things that catches my attention too much: the shadow of the sign and the duck on the left that looks like a spot. I would crop out these two things.

pablominto (41314) 2007-08-20 8:23

Hello Lars,
You pick a good point of view for this massive piece of architecture!
This frame gives a good impression of the whole castle complex, and adding some of the setting is good...
Good light, fine colours and details; a well composed presentation!
Greetings,

Hi Lars,
A nice combination of shapes, colors and textures... good POV and accurate framing...
Well stitched too, with nothing visible (to me, at least!)
A well presented monument.

jmdaoudal (82) 2007-08-20 10:54

This is a very attractive military architecture in a good picture, well done for having in stitching the whole view.
I think this is one of your best in architecture due to your care and to the castle itself.. Quite a very surprising one. Make me thing of Roman camps.

syd1946 (17965) 2007-08-20 13:55

emjleclercq (14494) 2007-08-20 14:02

Nice to see a new picture of you. The point of view is excellent, with the round moat full of water, and the casltle has a beautifull pink color, perfectly matching with the light green of the grass and the blue of the sky. Thanks for sharing,

Emmanuel

jaywalker (12302) 2007-08-20 14:15

Hi Lars, This is a great shot, the colours & light are both superb, you have composed he photo beautifully, this was assisted by your wonderful POV, standing right on the bend of the water was the perfect position, bralliantly sharp, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

alvaraalto (5301) 2007-08-20 14:22

Hi Lars,
Excellent panoramic shot with wonderful vivid colours and perfect lighting coditions. The symmetry of your composition is also great. Splendid work!

bertolucci (11994) 2007-08-21 0:29

Hej Lars, mooie zachte kleuren op deze indrukwekkende citadel. Het gekozen pano formaat is zeer goed gekozen om de sterke grafische interactie van de hoofdvormen van het bouwwerk en de enorme curve van de slotgracht maximaal tot xijn recht te laten komen. Erg mooi werk!
Tot vrijdag in Den Haag!
Fijne dag,
Bert

Standa (1861) 2007-08-21 4:59

Hi Lars,
I think that you choosed the best POV to show all beauty of this great castle. Nicely framed with water curve and also colours are good in well made light management.
Regards,
Stanislav

jafadabret (40281) 2007-08-21 7:23

Lars, ce qui séduit dans cette photo c'est d'abord les couleurs. La composition est bien faite avec en premier plan la courbe que fait l'eau. L'architecture est remarquable et bien rendue.
Jacques

danyy (69393) 2007-08-21 7:49

Hello Lars,
une photo où dominent les trois composantes fondamentales que sont bleu, rouge et vert.
Les lumières sont douces et les couleurs naturelles, une photo bien cadrée en mode pano, l'assemblage est de qualité.
Regards.
Daniel.

riclopes (33131) 2007-08-21 8:14

Olá Lars, spectacular panoramic image. It's full of gracious curved lines. The contrast of colors, specially the sky with that soft red in the buildings is wonderful. The architecture is most interesting in its shapes. A very pleasing image with great quality.
Groet,
ricardo

Jeppe (18623) 2007-08-21 13:20

Hej Lars
Ja jeg kan også godt bruge en vid-vinkel linse en gang imellem.
Tak for synet og din informative note. Det virker som om der er bygget til af flere omgange.
Mvh
Jeppe

singuanti (15240) 2007-08-21 18:43

Hi Lars. Very nice combination of POV and composition here. The wide format was a great idea here and it was so useful to show the scene in the wider format. You did a good job with the stitching too. Another good one Lars.

jhm (83276) 2007-08-22 1:12

Hallo Lars,

Zonde dat er net iets teveel wind aanwezig was om de weerspiegeling optimaal te kunnen meenemen, maar ik vind dit wel zeer keurig genomen, met een schitterend kwaliteit en aangename kleuren. Zeer goed gedaan.
Bedankt voor uw bezoek.

Prettige dag verder,
John.

papagolf21 (56715) 2007-08-22 2:14

Bonjour, mon ami Lars,

J'ai l'impression d'être au coeur du panorama (bravo pour l'assemblage).
Il émane une sérénité de l'ensemble.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Lars,

Really impressive shot. I really enjoy the the curve of the moat and that you have captured all the buildings of the castle in such an excellent way. A superb job. Have a nice week end!

Cheers,

I would have cropped it thiner to skip the bank where you stand.
But except that, this building has beautiful soft colors and is interesting.
Stéphane

danos (33192) 2007-08-26 0:42

Didi (36420) 2007-08-26 0:58

Hello Lars.
Very strange architecture for me but very interesting and it's looks modern.
Your point of view is well choosen but I think you should be closer to the lake bank.
Cheers.

Emile (20107) 2007-08-26 8:15

Hola Lars.
A clean and sharp shot of a different castle's architecture, your POV and the two stitches worked very well. Good colors and composition.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

Hi Lars
I believe you got the most out of the short scandinavian summer, i am not sure how you managed to take so many pictures with sunshine and blue skies!
I like the panorama stitch, very nice work
Harry

Gerrit (36229) 2007-08-29 7:17

dag Lars,
Prachtige plek. Een soort enorm boederijkasteel lijkt het, goed versterkt en prachtig rood.
Mooi standpunt en het zit uitstekent in het frame.
Groeten Gerrit

dorte_s_t (2285) 2007-08-30 1:51

Hi , Lars .
Excellent point of view which allows us to see so much of the castle .
Colours and lighting is fine .
(I don't hold with cropping out things . They may be more or less disturbing , still they are there ) .
I like your photo , and the note is very informative !
Kindest Regards
Dorte..

bakes888 (18327) 2007-08-31 1:25

Hi Lars. Great photo. Well composed but I feel the bottom shoreline could have been cropped away to achieve a cleaner look. Excellent colour and great sharpness and detail. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hej Lars,
I fine picture of this "castell" in Landskrona. I passed Landskrona yesterday and I took some shots as well. I might upload them one day.

Your stiching has worked out well and the colours of the castell invites to make good composition together with the clear blue sky.

Hälsningar
/Stefan
