Guantanamo nights, a photo from Guantanamo, East

Photographer's Note

There are two casa de la Trova's in Guantanamo and some clubs too and on the main square there are live performances too. In short: Guantanamo night life rocks. We were there the evening before a giant Cuban holiday: the birthday of José Martí, the father of Cuba, one of the leading men in the independence battle in the 19th century. All the kids were free the next day, so loads of uniformed schoolkids roamed the streets until late.

Hello Gerrit,

A great, atmospheric scene from Cuba.
The colours are warm and the mood is warm.
You have achieved an excellent sense of perspective from the converging lines and diminishing lamps.

Have a great day,
Bev :-)

Hello Gerrit,
An image stuffed full of atmosphere! Ideally exposed with lovely warm colours and excellent clarity. I like the play of the light reflections over the shiny pavements and the long shadows.

Dag Gerrit,

Het nacht leven ziet er iets anders uit dan bij ons, maar het was ook niet het echte nachtleven.
Maar uw foto is zeer goed gemaakt, want met dit licht is het zo gemakkelijk voor een mooie foto te maken.
Perfect gedaan qua kleur en samenstelling .
Goed foto werk bedankt

Prettige zondag,
John

Hello Gerrit,
You captured the nighttime atmosphere of Guantanamo very well. The light is well handled and the diagonal street is lined by a lot of people. There are some nice shadows in the foreground. I have a feeling that the party atmosphere in Guantanamo is much more quiet and peaceful than in an average European city on any Friday or Saturated night.
Best regards,
Gert

BOnjour Gerrit,

Ce n'est pas toujours facile de prendre ce genre de photos d'ambiance surtout à cette heure de la nuit. Une belle poussée des ISO qui donne un rendu parfait des immeubles de l'autre côté de la rue.

Bon dimanche

Hi Gerrit,
Cuba is quite popular these days, and why not. It has probaly a lot to offer the curious tourist. Architecture, people, rhum and cigars and much much more. This night scene have a nice depth and interesting architecture. I like the natural light here it is also a good note. Tfs!

Have a nice evening/

Hi Gerrit!
Good to see a night shot also, showing how life is! I like to see so many young people wearing uniforms. You managed light really well, exposure is very good. The shadows on the pavement are a very nice detail.

eldancer1 (36343) 2015-04-23 7:36

I like the lighting of this night scene and it's amazing that the details even the people are very good considering the slow shutter speed. Wonderful colors. Very well done, tfs.

ChrisJ (165702) 2015-04-23 10:36

Hi Gerrit

Perfect sharpness and the school uniforms are very practical in such a hot, humid climate. Good nocturnal shot with interesting shadow play at bottom right from the multiple street lights. The road adds deep lead in lines and perspective. I like the warm golden tones throughout. Tfs.
