Back to the Past Photo

Photographer’s Note

A night view of the small pedestrian lane of the Vieille Ville of Antibes.
Houses are painting with tones close to the pastel orange or pink, or brown, and during the night, under the few light of lampposts all the facades become deep orange.
Walk on that little streets, alone, without any sound (maybe just the sea that is few dozen of meters faraway), walking under the dozen of arches, the black venetian blind closed on the windows, on the old floor made of stones, without cars or motorbikes...it can transport you in another dimension, back to the past.

Just 6 days and we'll be there for a 3 days of relax, to meet the friends, and maybe sleep under the sun on the beach.

Ciao Paolo,
Bella e strana questa foto! Un po' inquietante con tutto questo arancio...buona profondità di campo.

Effettivamente la particolare luce a l'assenza di automobili e di persone crea una visione fuori dal tempo , complimenti .

Hello Paolo
There's something quite haunting about this shot. Perhaps it's the orange colour. An original piece of work. Nice one.
Best wishes
Mark

Ciao, Paolo,

Why this is so red??? Is the light? a filter?

A very intriguing image. Not one of your best presentations, yet an eye catching one.

Cheers,
Enrique

The red colour of the buildings actually looks quite spooky. The landscape composition has allowed you to include the grilled windows. I can't help wondering what it would be like with a vertical composition and more path. I like the idea of the archway taking us to a hidden destination. Another holiday so soon!

Just checking through my critiques from yesterday for any replies I noticed this was marked as "comment". I have no idea how that came about so I've edited it to a critique.

ciao Paolo, una composizione che mi rimanda più ai colori di Marrakesh che ad Antibes..
la prospettiva è buona e anche i toni rossi..
ottima la piccola luce the guida l' occhio
ciao!
