Tycho Brahe by Night, a photo from Kobenhavn, East

Photographer's Note

Tycho Brahe by Night

No aerial shot today, but again one for my themes about Copenhagen by Night and Modern Architecture in Copenhagen.
Here visible is Tycho Brahe Planetarium at the end of a nice and sunny day.

Tycho Brahe Planetarium is located near the centre of the city at Sankt Jørgens Sø (Saint Jørgen Lake). It opened in 1989 and was designed by Knud Munk. The planetarium is named after the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601).

The two towers in the background are both hotels, the right one is the SAS Royal Hotel, designed by Arne Jacobsen and located next to Copenhagen Central Station.

This is the eight picture in my theme of Copenhagen by Night. Hope you like it.

Another sucessful night view n your architectural collection. The waterjets reflecting the light are fabulous. I also like the change in the blue of the sky between the left and the right of the picture.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi lars, nice catch of this modern city in twilight. I like the soft looking foutains and the bird resting.
The building is right in the middle but can't avoid this to include the reflection in the water.

Hi Lars,
The calm waters of the lake adds to the beauty of this fine night shot!
Low lighting well managed, very nice colour palette...
Architecture well depicted, quite good details in spite of low lighting!
Greetings,

riclopes (35577) 2006-07-24 3:43

Yes, I love it, Lars. It's another very sucessful one from your wonderful night series of Copenhagen. The blue sky, the well balanced lighting and the marvellous reflections on the water make this a very attractive image...and also the lovely detail of the duck at left foreground, hehehe. Excellent work!
Have a nice week,
Ricardo

I do like it; it's stunning Lars. I love the silky effect of the fountains and the water caused by the slow shutter speed, as well as the wonderful reflections. The blue hour sky is also reflected. Very good work.

Lars bonjour !
Une vue superbe, prise au bon moment. J'aime les bleus de la nuit et les lumières de la ville qui se reflètent dans l'eau.

Beste Lars,

U heeft het nacht fotograferen duidelijk goed onder de knie, wederom een aantrekkelijk beeld met het water in de voorgrond, de mooie weerspeigelingen en de moderne architecteur in de achtergrond, de fontein als wel de blikvanger, zeer mooi gedaan Lars.

Groeten,
John

bertolucci (14052) 2006-07-24 12:05

Hej Lars, fraai Kopenhagens nachtcapture, het mooie rood-blauw kleur contrast domineert de compositie en de strakke rechthoekige vormen maken het geometrich ook weer interessant. De relatie tussen de curves van het planetarium doen het mooi met die van de fonteinen. Mooi werk met een mooie balans!
Fijne week!
Bert

Hello Lars
Nice night shot. Impressed planetarium and other buildings also looks very nice. I like the reflections in the water.
Regards

xavshot (69835) 2006-07-24 15:35

Bonsoir Lars
une belle maitrise des lumières sur ce post nocturne. J'aime beaucoup les jets d'eau. La pose d'1/2 seconde t'a permis de figer les reflets. C'est bien vu.
Bravo
Xavier

Hello Lars,
J'aime beaucoup les photos nocturnes, elles sont rafraîchissantes. Les paramètres d'exposition sont bien adaptés aux conditions.
Amicalement
Daniel

singuanti (15250) 2006-07-24 22:00

Hey Lars. The long exposure and fountains on the left make for a cool effect. The reflections are a nice addition but sharpness seems a bit on the low side. tfs Lars.

cjmm (4479) 2006-07-25 7:18

Hi Lars,

Impressive night shot. I like very much the composition and colors.

Well done!

Best regards, saludos,
Carlos

jrj (34843) 2006-07-25 9:43

hi lars
Perfect timing with good use of the blue hour for this compo. Well disposed compo, good details included, interesting building structures

capthaddock (28790) 2006-07-25 10:22

Hi Lars - great timing with the dark blue sky, the exposure is great, maybe the tall building is too centered, having the duck in the frame was a very fortunate occurence.

rahul__rahul__ (2250) 2006-07-25 10:24

Hi Lars
nice picture, I like the smoothness in the water, the dark lighting is nice too. I like the dark sky.
Good job

elmec (12210) 2006-07-25 16:39

Hello Lars!
Such a beautiful nohgt city!

Hi Lars,
beautiful nihgt shot of this fantastic city. Right now I'm recovering some old negatives of my trip to North Cap which included also Copenhagen... some 10 years ago.
Have a nice day.
Tomi

john_c (24666) 2006-07-26 10:01

Hi Lars,
The special blue hour lighting really makes this shot sizzle. I like the exposure level and the fine reflections. The modernity of the buildings is well seen here. The fountain spray enhances. A superb capture, Lars.
John

Didi (61589) 2006-07-26 14:05

Hello Lars
Very nice composition in the blue hours one of your best ones.
I note a very good control of the exposure.
Cheers

Stepan (27210) 2006-07-27 2:11

1st, I enjoy this improbable duck in the foreground !
Then, I like this skyline, in the falling night, with a great light and Av management to produce soft light, great colors and a good water effect. I suppose it was pretty hard to compose and you did it well !
Stéphane

bakes888 (18499) 2006-07-27 2:50

Hi Lars. Great captured, I love the reflections and compo, I also love the way you have hidden that duck in the bottom left corner. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

jmdaoudal (82) 2006-07-27 3:27

Great architecture and night shot, the complete reflections are a very good idea.
I like it

tinamunk3 (6408) 2006-07-28 14:31

Hej Lars,

I live very close to this place and I have tried many times to get a decent shot from there but until now I didn't manage. I always find it difficult with the not very photogenic tall SAS hotel in the background but now with the light in the windows it looks fantastic. So do the fontains and the reflections in the lake.

Really really nice.

:) hej fra Tina

carper (96) 2006-07-28 14:34

prachtig werk Lars,
zeer goede nacht foto en een uitstekende compositie, goede scherpte en technisch zeer goed, prachtig werk.

Mikos (4326) 2006-07-29 10:44

Wow, excellent shot, and perspective, the composition is splendid, and the result is completely gorgeous.
This two themes are my favourites also, Copenhaguen by night, and modern architecture, so thanks for sharing Lars, have a nice weekend, hugs
Miguel ;-)

Hi Lars
A nice blue hour shot. The detail is good as there is a lot to see here. The bird in the foreground is a nice inclusion to the scene and the reflections work well. I also like the blur from the water feature as well. Good composition and framing.

alvaraalto (42234) 2006-08-06 17:38

Hi Lars,
Prachtige foto, maar wel een beetje pijnlijke herinnering voor mij. Hoewel de pijn in m'n knie uit eindelijk minder is dan de pijn in mijn portomonnai.
groet Rob

Steft (6109) 2006-08-07 8:19

Lars,
Prachtige foto. Die doet het vast goed in groot formaat op een poster.
Groeten uit Bornholm,
Stefan

papagolf21 (152599) 2006-08-11 3:40

Bonsoir mon ami Lars,
La qualité photographique est réussie (je m'aperçois qu'il n'est point nécessaire de posséder des appareils haut de gamme pour réussir une très bonne photo) !
Intérêt du sujet, réussite de la photo, note intéressante.
C'est parfait.
Amitiés.
Philippe

aloyho (6798) 2006-08-15 3:21

Hi Lars,
This is a great night scene and it seems that you already got the hang of night photography. You selected the scene well with a good variety of structures and shapes and the fountains give good atmosphere. I enjoyed the blue sky with the peaceful and captivating scene. Splendid shot!! Have an interesting day.

jbweasle (9393) 2006-08-19 10:11

Hello Lars, this is an attractive night shot with pretty colours and beautiful reflections. I particularly like the refelcted light on the buildings to the left and the fountains in front of them.

tomasso (76) 2006-10-14 18:33

Hi Lars, i really like architecture. Colors are nice,water reflection too. For me its a perfect photo.

Rosa_d_MonteLua (1508) 2006-11-12 6:05

Hi Lars!

Well chosed long exposure time, resulting in a good light level. Good definition and nice colors.
Well done!

Hello Lars,
Fabulous blue-hour picture of modern Kobenhagen, view from across the lake.
This area near the SAS hotel went under massive renovations in recent years, so I recall my visit there in 05/1980. Long shutter made the water looking "silky", a charming sight beautifully presented on your photo.
My best regards,
Ike

mcmtanyel (58830) 2018-05-13 19:16

Hello Lars,
This is an exquisite nocturnal image. The reflections are pretty and the sharpness of the photo is outstanding. It goes in my favorites.

MT

Pozdrav.
Lepo mesto i arhitektura na kraju dana, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama i kontrastom. Lep refleks na vodi i panorama.
Lep deo grada i odlazak dana.
Zelim vam sve najbolje.
