Galeries Lafayette Photo

Photographer’s Note

You can hardly find the big rotonda of the Galeries Lafayette, with no photographers around.. I think it is an extremely popular place because we all know that the chance of getting nice pictures is high. But how is possible to choose a new angle after thousands or millions of shots ? Of course I cannnot be sure about my result but at least this frame with a wide angle was my selection. My fill-in flash was at its lowest.

Voilà une photo qui rappelle une des miennes.
Ici le plan est plus serré et permet de mieux voir la richesse et les couleurs de la décoration de cette rotonde.
Amicalement

Merhaba Izzet,

I've heard of this shopping center, but I have not seen it yet. Your shot reminds me a of an opulent jewelry box, with garlands of necklaces draped in loops. the colors serve as interesting highlights, although if I were decorating the place, I don't think I would use colors that are incompatible with each other. But your vantage point is chosen judiciously, with a painterly eye. Excellent composition, a very good effect with the wide angle lens. Any idea with the focal point was set at?

Sevgi ve selam,

Bulent

Very nice composition indeed, and the lighting is perfect.
The image does look like it lacks a bit of sharpness though, perhaps a smaller apperture would have yielded a bit more depth of field?

merhaba izzet,
a classical beauty from you...
a lesson learnt - starting the curve in top right corner and ending it in bottom right - simple yet so effective composition-wise...
wish you applied some more sharpening here...

Hello Izzet,

Une très belle image, colorée, graphique, d'un endroit où je suis allée souvent... sans appareil photo !
Bonne journée
Marie

Hi izzet

A superb upward pov, within this imposing internal architecture. Superb sharpness, & marvellous colour & composition. I like the sweeping curve of the ballistrade, starting in the top right cnr, & finishing in the bottom right corner. Congratulations!

Merhaba Izzet Bey. This shot brings back many memories when as a boy I was taken by my father to this place. imagine coming from communist Yugoslavia to this opulence. I still remember it as one would a lovely dream. Your photo too has a dreamlike quality.The wonderful curve, the ornamentations, the colours all combine to create a feast for the eye. Selamlar.
