16:14 in Copenhagen Photo

Photographer’s Note

16:14 in Copenhagen

This is a new picture from the heart of Copenhagen, taken in August. I found this gangway in Vognmagergade not for from Rundetårn, Nørreport Station and Kongens Nytorv with in the background the colourful houses in the street called Åbenrå. My attention was attracted by the combination of the rather modern gangway, the big clock and the traditional architecture in the background.
The little tower in the background is I think part of Den Tysk Reformerte Kirke (The German Reformed Church).
Egmont is the name of a large media industry group in Scandinavia. Actually one of the leading media groups in the region, producing books, magazines, tv-programmes and much more.

Not much more to say about this photo, I hope you like it! :-)

bonsoir Lars
effectivement, le mélange entre le moderne et l'architecture typique donne un beau résultat. J'aime bien ton cadrage 50-50 et les couleurs apportées par la succession de façades.

Hej Lars,

Very interesting composition, with the clock in the foreground. I like this kind of architecture. Good POV, nice colors and great perspective.

Greetings
Leonor

Hallo Lars,
Dit vind ik een echte topper.
Een foto met twee gezichten die elkaar op een of andere manier versterken. Twee sferen die niet bij elkaar passen en die elkaar toch aanvullen.
groet Rob

The positioning of the clock on this frame corssing the street makes an unusual positionning, and leaves plenty of view on he nice buildings behind. The overall is very original.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Lars.
Nice compo with colourful elements and nice old buildings. The new architecture is not shocking the old it fits well together.

Cheers´, Léonie

A nice graphical shot, well framed with good rich colours. Light management couldn't have been easy, but you've succeeded in bringing out much detail in the buildings. Nice work.
Best wishes
Mark

AiresSantos (43270) 2007-10-03 1:35

Hi Lars,
Nice ideia ! I like how you framed the clock and details.
Excellent point of view and nice architecture on background
TFS and have a nice day

Bonjour, mon ami Lars,
Il n'est pas toujours nécessaire de dire beaucoup sur une photo pour en apprécier la qualité, mon ami.
Ici, le lecteur apprécie l'originalité de la prise de vue. Vous avez su utiliser le mobilier urbain avec talent.
Bravo !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Dag lars,

Van België naar Denemarken is voor u maar een kleine sprong, en ook nog figuurlijk tegen de tijd. De klok is natuurlijk de blikvanger, maar eveneens de architecture trek zeker de aandacht, samen met de gepaste kleuren.
Goed werk opnieuw. Bedankt!

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

hej Lars
it's not about the photo, i'm not a fan of that kind of mix between modern and old style, sometimes it works and sometimes not
about the photo, this modern part takes too much space in the frame IMHO, i don't know what could i say about the POV, no idea or suggestion, i just tell what i think about the result
regards
jo

feather (50560) 2007-10-03 5:24

Very tricky I would guess both to compose the image and to expose it correctly because of the sky behind your focal point. I think you have achieved both well and produced a very unusual image.
Well done
Kath

Mikos (4324) 2007-10-03 8:48

Dag Lars!

Hey such a great and interesting perspective you have created from this lovely danish spot, I really love that country. I like a lot the composition you hace chosen, using this first element, the watch to anticipate what comes after, the colourful copenhagen facades.

Congratulations for this awesome result Lars!

Cheers, take care, and have a great day!

Miguel

Guenther (6891) 2007-10-03 15:13

Hi Lars,
an interesting compostion ... the houses look almost like made of LEGO ... I like the overall effect, thanks for sharing!

pablominto (41690) 2007-10-03 23:37

Hello Lars,
A different street scenery, showing particular details in the city!
This is an image that needs a note if any, and your is well written and covering the basics, well done!
Greetings,

Didi (36674) 2007-10-04 15:43

Bonsoir Lars
Intéressante mixtures d'architectures ancienes et contemporaines.
Les couleurs sont très appréciables au style nordique.
Je pense que cela n'a pas été simple à réaliser, mais la composition est appréciable.
Cordialement.

Hello Lars,

A fascinating corner of Copenhagen. It has been years I walked around the streets of this wonderful city. Is this gangway actually a walkway connecting the two buildings? If so, it would have been fun to catch someone walking across and offering a scale for that clock. Good perspective and colors.

Regards, Lars,

Bulent

I like it

Hi Lars,

A very original and colourful composition. TFS and have a nice week end!

Cheers,

Emile (20177) 2007-10-06 11:48

Hola Lars.
A good composition with the clock between the two buildings in the fg and the beautiful and colorful houses in the back, all in good sharpness. Your POV is very good.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

Hello Lars,
I always like different from the usual frames.It gives to an image another touch.Like this one!The point of view is great,with the big clock in the foreground.To the back the beautiful architecture in very nice colors!I like it very much...

Wishes for a nice week,
Thomas

bertolucci (12022) 2007-10-08 9:58

Hej Lars, wat een heerlijk Kopenhagens stadbeeld vol met stijl- en kleurcontrasten en sterk en niet voor de hand liggend geframed. Dit beeld ontleent een fijne grafischekracht aan de combinatie van de rastenpatronen in de oude gevels en die van de moderne wand. Erg goed werk!
Fijne week,
Bert

cessy (13647) 2007-10-08 10:59

nice !! very nice placement of the clock in the frame with the colorful buildings behind
and nice timing :)

danyy (69929) 2007-10-09 2:04

Bonjour Lars,
l'horloge es belle dans ses couleurs or et bleue, mais je trouve que ce portail métallique ne met pas en valeur la beauté du reste du quartier. Il a sans doute son utilité.
Une photo un peu sombre.
regards.
Daniel.

john_c (24635) 2007-10-09 6:49

Hi Lars,
A unique and well composed shot, with the clock and surrounding grill really enhancing and making for an artistic presentation. I like the clarity of detail here despite the subdued light. The graphism really enhances the shot nicely. Cheers...later.
John

TopGeo (22495) 2007-10-09 8:53

Hello Lars And certain seconds 02":-) Exceptional work. Very beautiful the colours and the frame intelligent idea and imprinting. I friendlily praise! Georgios

jafadabret (40651) 2007-10-10 1:11

Lars, c'est plaisant à voir ce graphisme et ces couleurs. Du beau travail.
Jacques

riclopes (33143) 2007-12-15 8:01

Olá Lars, this is quite a creative composition, dividing the image in two equal parts, making a strong contrast bettween FG & BG, and giving a nice sense of depth. The resulted graphism is attractive and I like the colors on the façades. The clock has a big impact and it's natural that it gave you the idea for the title ;-)
Have a nice weekend,
ricardo
