Ultimate orange, a photo from Aarhus, West

Photographer's Note

Yes I know this one too much :-) but when I spotted the (commercial) setup in the vestibule to the Music house of Århus, I also knew this should be my orange contribution to the hunt.

Just to give the surroundings see here

It is just orange. I think you will not have observations for this theme of new scav hunt.

elroyie (2750) 2004-06-23 2:43

Are these the colours? or should I say colour :-)
What orange place you nead to put something black or someone with blacksuit on him then the picture will be perfect.
Very good composition and good colour (not colours. . .).

henrye (3500) 2004-06-23 2:44

This is great. The orange is fantastic! Your composition is good, and the reflections on the tables are what makes this shot for me. Well done!

Didi (61589) 2004-06-23 2:45

Ok for the idea, it's very well done, but if my boss wants to transform my office, Ill get mad :-)

cgrindahl (6113) 2004-06-23 2:45

One thing I've always admired about the Danes is your fantastic design sense. This is ORANGE in capital letters. You could also use it for reflections, though you've already covered that item. Great composition Jeppe.

jhm (205697) 2004-06-23 2:47

A indeed Jeppe, maybe much orange but for the hunt is this wonderful photo. Very well done!

bebel (7588) 2004-06-23 2:53

Salut Jeppe ! Bravo pour cette recherche esthétique qui vient après le canard à l'orange. J'aime moins ce sujet, mais il faut convenir que le cadrage est soigné, la composition des éléments rigoureuse, la luminosité exacte et sublimée par les reflets. Décor de businessmen techniquement froid malgré la chaleur de la couleur orange. Superbe travail esthétique

pridel (233) 2004-06-23 2:58

c'est superbe. la couleur orange est très vibrante. La composition est bien équilibrée et j'aime beaucoup les reflets dans les tables car ils nous empechent de nous noyer dans tout ce otange. beau travail

Over the top, Jeppe!! Fantastic high-impact shot. No denying it qualifies for the hunt and will blow all other contenders out of the water. Well done.

carper (96) 2004-06-23 3:42

What a capture Jeppe,
You had the eyes for it, all that orange. I hope this one will help the Dutch tonight.
great photo.

Hanssie (11022) 2004-06-23 4:50

Ha, ha, ha, orange, that's OUR colour these days and I hope, that it "will be our colour tonight"
Great abstract & artistic one, Jep !

jhonny_blue (4956) 2004-06-23 5:06

Very good colours !
It´s a table of the Nederlands national team ? :)

Very well done !

jrj (34843) 2004-06-23 6:05

If any motive was to be made for the hunt - this must be it. This is a 'winner' in the orange category. And at the same made out very creative and artistic. Yes Jeppe, you are sure in to your orange periode presently
;-)

Anderledes og stilrent, jeg kan godt lide linierne i billdet og det silfulde design look i billdet.

Knald på farverne og prikken over i'et er de blank polerede bordplader med deres reflextioner.

Smukt og anderledes. / Kaj Nielsen

Très belle image de design. Les reflets sur les tables ajoutent un réel + à l'image. Bravo pour le coup d'oeil :-)

manny (22032) 2004-06-23 10:24

Excellent...just excellent. The orange color and the reflection, it has a classic feel to it. Another congratulations Jeppe.

Piotr (0) 2004-06-23 10:44

Typical scandinavian design, simple lines and practical, I like this strong orange colours, well done Jeppe :)
Regards, piotr

torben (3100) 2004-06-23 11:34

Very striking capture, things doesn't get more orange than this!
I remeber seeing the same promotional display of that companys furniture during the Furniture Fair in Copenhage a couple of months ago.
The incredible color is, of course, chosen to fit the purpose, this is not a suggestion for an office furnishing it is a sales display designed to attract attention, quite successful I'd say.
The chair was designed by Arne Jacobsen in the mid-sixties for use in the college that he build in Oxford in those years and the high-backed version shown here was intended to give a dignified presence to the masters seats in the dining hall. I'm absolutely sure that he never would have thought of his chair in this color, dusty grey-green was the wildest color on his palette.

I guess that's about as orange as contributions in this category of the hunt could possibly get, Jeppe. And as some of your previous shots, it would again qualify for a second category ("reflection"). Very unique color setting in these stylish design pieces that are making a fine composition in the way they are placed; if this were my office environment I guess I could not get one minute of work done though ;-) Thanks for the WS, too.

Burnham (2428) 2004-06-23 15:15

Cool, we both made a tribute to Arne Jakobsen on the same day :o) This is great , and as always more than one hunting theme is touched, reflection :o) I saw this after you showed me this shot, and it's just a mad setting, but exellent shot.

avigur_11 (22535) 2004-06-23 16:24

Wow. Just amazing, Jeppe. The excellent crop, amazing POV, wobderful color and so very interesting shapes. Very very well done.

Georges (11185) 2004-06-23 16:42

Quelle ensemble ici la dominate donne un effet d'image pleine mais en regardant bien on s'appercpois de beaucoup de détails interessant comme ce cadrage egalement.
Bravo fallait oser Jeppe une bonne photo.

RGatward (20086) 2004-06-23 16:51

Quite right, too much is somethimes just right.

Proxilva (2157) 2004-06-23 18:45

this is what i call cheating... the hunt was SOMETHING orange, this is something silver :)... but i'm in a good mood 'cause the dutch soccerteam won their match today, so whole the world is orange for me now...
...ooh yeah and a very nice photo

maphoto (8082) 2004-06-23 21:09

Well that is ORANGE....and beautifuly composed, the result is wonderful with the reflection, you have nice details, shadow, great shot.

Isabelle (9046) 2004-06-24 5:02

one of those cases where less is more indeed;))
what else can i add? i love the paralel reflections on the tables.
THE orange color!

Rinie_Hoff (9340) 2004-06-24 9:30

Jeppe, forgot, Saw this one yesterday while I was working, no time to comment, and now I luckily bump into it again.
This is a great picture, the reflection and the all orange of it, is truly very well seen.
As I'm still and again on my work, this is where I will stop writing, well seen, and thanks very much!

cmartos (242) 2004-06-24 17:06

No this is not to much orange Jeppe. This is just MAXIMUM orange, almost... You could have added an orange frame :-). And that's why I love it. It's just orange everywhere. Looking at the surroundings it's a very good compo and excellent crop. Very eye catching and for me, the best entry in the "orange" scav. hunt!

mogens-j (56) 2004-06-24 18:08

So this is how it looks in original - well it sure is different from the display version I saw when you were here. This one allmost burns ones eyes. Would have been perfect with a person in a black dinner jacket. Well seen Jeppe.

Guenther (10915) 2004-06-25 11:47

He he, more orange is not possible!:-) ... It would have been nice though, if you useed it for the reflexion item... ;-)

Martine (0) 2004-06-26 8:00

la pureté des lignes, la diposition du mobilier et ces reflets sur les tables, donnent un aspect très design à l'ensemble. Une très bonne composition.

The light reflections are essential to the picture. Otherwise, this orange colour is so agressive that it would look incredible.

Porteplume (4032) 2004-07-17 4:48

Did you say ORANGE? :o)

The title says it... Ultimate Orange. Nobody can do better for the Orange theme of the Summer Hunt!
The reflections are a big "+" and you also succeeded in cropping perfectly this excellent composition. Very well done...

naxius (16685) 2004-07-30 2:56

Great co;position, very graphical...You did a terrific shot!

maevakilla (1504) 2004-09-17 15:52

you are a humble amateur you said? i'm sorry but for me you are a pro!you have the photographer's eye, you caught the essential. this picture proves my feeling. it looks like a picture issued from a design magasine. amazing, sorry i'm just a fan!

pastadog (13111) 2006-03-18 3:23

Hi Jeppe, I just opened your gallery to check your latest but got this orange jewel on the random in the intro, and I just couldn't resist; then I opened the big photo and I simply can't take my eyes to other place: it's an orange magnet. Good you had the chairs in an interesting pattern. The reflections add a sense of depth I believe. And what a POV!!! Regards, Daniel
