In different light, a photo from Yazd, East

Photographer's Note

The Amir Chakhmaq Complex is a prominent structure in Yazd, Iran, noted for its symmetrical sunken alcoves. At night, the building is lit up after twilight hours after sunset with orange lighting in the arched alcoves which makes it a spectacle.

The stunning three-storey facade is one of the largest such structures in Iran. The rows of perfectly proportioned sunken alcoves are at their best and most photogenic in late afternoon, when the copper-coloured sunlight is captured within each alcove and the towering exterior appears to glow against the darkening sky.

I found the view of this square delightful and I spent there quite a lot of time. I couldn't decide in which light it looks the best, so here the collage with the same view at 15.30, 16.15 and at 18.30.
I hope you will like it.

What I did between the photos? I went to my hotel for the late lunch and then I admired sunset from the roof.

The roofs of Yazd . Notice some windtowers.

Hello Malgo,
Wonderful the collage from three different hours of the day.
i know there are beautiful and impressive monuments throughout Iran that worth a visit and taking pictures. However, situation is not attractive, in an understatement. Hope one day peace will prevail in the region and it will be a great tourists destination.
Have a nice sunday,
Ike

Hello Malgo,
People come and go, but emka remains. ;-) It was a good idea to show the same place in different lights. The effects and atmospheres are stunningly different, but each photo works well on its own. I hope you managed to do something else in between these photos.
Have a nice Sunday.

Ciao Malgo.When you open the image in another tab, then click on it which enlarges as you wanted. The collage is truly magnificent, same shot with different lights that change the vision of this magnificent architecture, great composition, I really like it! Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Hello Malgo,

It is smaller but the good part is that you can see the whole photograph without scrolling, and it is perfectly sharp. If you click again, the photo becomes larger.

Like you, I would have struggled deciding which photograph to post as the main. Here, we can easily compare the effects of the changing light but, without doubt, each is worthy of a main post. The changing scene, over the day, is a delight.
You were both brave and determined to obtain these amazing photographs.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Malgo, Video content is (rightfully)not allowed on TE, so this is a very fine alternative for a time-lapse vid;-)
There's much to be enjoyed and explored here - the differences in light, the activity pattern of the people....Very engaging work 1 Best regards from Rotterdam.

Hi Malgo,

I appreciate the reflections on the water. Yopu had a good idea to show the light condition at different time of the day and how it is affecting the colors. The point of view is showing the details of the Amir Chakhmaq Complex. Have a nice day.

Tout est beau, bien fait, magnifiquement présenté.

Three excellent photos of the same place and buildings at different times of day and with different lighting. The reflections in the calm water are wonderful in all three of them. Well captured.

Witaj Malgo,

Desculpe meu atraso mas não poderia deixar de apreciar e comentar estas quatro fotos (WS também). Tres imagens aqui muito bonitas em que nós podemos apreciar estas belas arquiteturas com os seus arcos e reflexos com luzes variadas.
Belo trabalho.

Hello, good idea to realize that collage that compares this structure at different hours of the day. The pool and the area around the monument represent a meeting point in Yazd. Fine colors, good sharpness, interesting photo note, regards.

mcmtanyel (57695) 2020-02-16 20:51

Hello Malgo,
Three lovely photos from the same point at three different light conditions make a marvelous collage. I like the Roofs of Yazd, too. The wind towers are fantastic. 👍🏻👍🏻
