The Red Boat, a photo from Noord-Holland, South

Photographer's Note

Here you can see another pic taken in Amsterdam last week. Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the canal -- it was only a short walk distance from the central railway station.

Post processing added in Photoshop.

Czesc Gosiu,
kolejne piekne ujecie typowej architektury Amsterdamu i kolejny raz jestem naprawde pod wrazeniem,jak z na pierwszy rzut oka zwyklej sceny stworzylas tak wyjatkowa i nastrojowa kompozycje.Nigdy nie bylem specem w Photoshopie,ale twoja ingerencja w fotografie byla naprawde strzalem w 10!Przez co zdjecie zyskuje charakter i atmosfere.
Bardzo podoba mi sie kolorystyka zdjecia(o czym juz wspominalem komentujac jedno z twoich ostatnich zdjec),a takze efekt winiety szczegolnie dobrze widoczny w gornej czesci zdjecia.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie
Krzysiek

Hi Gosia
another arty Amsterdam image, with rustic charm and a beautifully simple motive. Executed and presented superbly, full of character and charm.

Have a good week - Brian.

Ciao Gosia,

La ville de Amsterdam est vraiment très photogénique. On le voit bien à travers tes dernières réalisations. Ici, j'aime le cadrage serré sur ces façades. Le petit bateau apporte une petite touche très intéressante.

Amicalement

Serge

Witaj Gosiu!
To nie czerwona lodka a okna sa najciekawsze w tym kadrze.
Nie wspomne o calych kamieniczkach.
Kolorystyka superowa robi klimat tej kompozycji.
Milego popoludnia.

Ciao Gosia
al momento sono tre foto della città di Amsterdam e ognuna più bella dell'altra.
Io penso che hai trovato una luce particolarmente adatta per rappresentare la città e le tue foto sono condizionate da questa bella illuminazione che rende tutto più bello e idoneo ad una esposizione reale, Colori un po' cupi, illuminazione morbida e a mio parere tecnica di ripresa eccellente perchè sei maestra nel fare belle composizioni.
Bravissima!
Ciao e buon inizio di settimana.
Romano

Hello Gosia,the inclusion of the red boat and bicycles adds even more interest to a delightful scene,the design and colours of the buildings having so much charm.
Gorgeous.

Hi Gosia,

I like your picture showing Dutch architecture in fine details. The red little boat is a bonus, very cute.

Hello Gosia,

This is a fine accompaniment to the shot you posted, yesterday. It is only when I see this that I realise how difficult it is to take a shot in Amsterdam without a bicycle in shot!!
The buildings are so characteristic of the area and you have exposed them very well, especially considering the relatively poor light. The canal side and boat make a good separation for thirds, giving your shot a pleasing composition.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Gosia, very nice image here, i might say that it's almost a classic for Amsterdam. Lovely archtiecture details you caught in your composition. Wish i was there. Good take!
Regards!

jemaflor (148398) 2013-06-17 8:10

Hi Gosia,
Well framed from this pov these nice and traditionnal houses, good result too with the boat and these reflections on water.

macjake (98544) 2013-06-17 9:33

Hi Gosia
So I see you added IN the dark vignetting again? Adding it in really does make the photo better doesn't it!
I think it has its place, yet sometimes it doesn't look good.
here it seems to match the colors of the buildings.
classic Amsterdam, waterways, bikes, and the architecture.
wonderful
cheers

Witaj,
ladna seria z amsterdamskimi kamienicami. Troche przypominaja mi te gdanskie nad Motlawa. Ciekawa tonacja kolorystyczna. Bdb pionowy kadr.
Milego dnia.

Ho Gosia,

great photo. I like the narrow buildings and the red boat too. The vintage on the top of the photo was lens made or you add it in postprocessing?
A lovely view.
Well done.

Witaj Gosia
A good one of Amsterdam, even if not so fan of the added vignetting
To me sounds artificial, but only my taste
Otherwise well done in good compo balance
Have a nice evening, best

dear gosia your reportage from the european city are very beautiful
also this picture tacken in Amsterdam is very nice with the red boat in the canal

PaulVDV (63580) 2013-06-23 11:43

Hello Gosia,
In Amsterdam it's very difficult to take a canal picture without bikes :)
Not that I want to exclude them.
The red boat is a real eye-catcher with these dark facades and the dark water.
Very beautiful architecture picture.
Best regards, Paul

abmdsudi (95869) 2013-06-24 9:31

Hi Gosia
The central viewpoint emphasizes the delicate details of the unique Dutch architecture. This image has subtle light, colors and luminous that benefit much from the clarity. An extremely intriguing shot abound of vivid shapes and patterns and this is just wonderful with the treatments for, it looks classic and timeless. Indeed a very eye pleasing picture. The red boat further adds to the quality of the shot. Very well done shot. TFS
Best regards

mjw364 (1466) 2013-06-28 9:06

Hello Gosia

Another well composed shot that suits the vertical format and makes great use of the colour red to provide a contrast to the rest of the colours and attract the eye. I love the little highlight on the water in the reflection.

TFS

ourania (51103) 2013-06-28 9:07

Hello Gosia,
a very attractive moody picture composed with great taste and skill in a vertical frame . I like very much the narrow framing of the three narrow buildings and the combination of the dominat vertical patterns with horizontal layers of interest starting from the dark canal and the reflectione and going up. There's a fine chromatic harmony enhanced by the dim and melancholic light. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

kato (11630) 2013-08-18 0:40

Hello Gosia,

You're capturing well this place by a good composition, tasteful tone and excellent clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the unique buildings with many windows standing along the canal. The red boat anchored to the canal adds an additional good charm in this image as well as the reflection projected to the canal. Even so, it tastes and is a deep building.

Kind regards,
mikio

I saw most of your album tonight and got amazed at the quality of your pictures, to the point I suspect you of working constantly with the HDR technique for the indoor shots.
The use of a wide lens and a rigorous symmetrical cropping creates the magic to your architectural works.
You are quite talented and differently inspired for great shots!!
Pozdrawiam.
Robert
