.....Utrecht Oude Gracht by night.....
comments (28)
I like the lighting and how the water contrasts with the brickwork. However, I keep on trying to see down the Gracht under the bridge. A crop that includes that view may be worth trying.
Picturit: I was standing on a very small platform and I was not able to move more towards the Gracht, Friday's post will be, I think, what you mean.
ASAtrid.
nice colors and image. i like the composition.
Picturit: Thank you David for your kind words, it was much fun to be out at night.
Astrid.
I like the lighting as well, but it is perhaps a touch too one tone. The curves in the reflections are great.
Picturit: At night I am not able to change the light, there were street lights that gave that light, I tried a different setting on my camera but that gave too much cold light.
Astrid.
This is great!
Beautiful hot colors in this shot.
Picturit: Thank you Rémi, I am pleased you like it.
Astrid.
Beautiful light, and a very interesting composition, Astrid.
You are giving me a desire to go try some night work.
Picturit: Ray, it is great to be out in the dark, it is amazing how much light there is and I think if I can do it, you are able to do so too.
Astrid.
beautiful warm lighting, wonderful reflections, een vredezaam en romantisch nacht-sfeertje (ook zonder maand)! Op zaterdag zal ik naar Utrecht rijden en van de Oude Gracht genieten!
Picturit: Philine, je zal het prachtig vinden, volgens mij blijft het nog mooi weer en het is een reuze gezellige stad...heel veel plezier!!.
Astrid.
Great atmosphere!
Picturit: Thanks Wim, it was great to be out there at night,
Astrid
Great night picture.
I am also wondering if you could include more of the gracht and bridge. The gracht could be a nice diagonal and if you stood back, you could catch the bridge and the reflection to form a circle. I don't know if you had limitations when taking the picture.
Picturit: I was standing in a curve of the Oude Gracht, this was just big enough for me and my tripod, one step either way and I would have been able to swimm home...I know this is not the best composition, it was more about the reflection of the windows in the water.
For me it was not possible to wander off, we were 15 in the group, we almost lost one in the dark....and he was not familiar with the city.. Friday I will have the view you want. Astrid.
Hello there Astrid. This photograph looks so warm with these tones. The reflection in the water is splendid with the sunlight and shadows adding interest. Off for Cafe now so ta ta.
Hebe een grote dag
Picturit: I do hope your Cafe was good this morning, very important...thank you for your kind words, we had all day sun and the temperature that was rather pleasant.
Een prettige dag verder, Astrid.
Wonderful colour Astrid. Interesting what Martin says. A view to the right would be interesting even though, unlike him, I don't know what's there.
Zij zeggen wij definitief één of andere zon vandaag zullen worden
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words, I was standing in the curf of the Gracht and I was not able to move more to the right....I would have been into the water.
Ik hoop dat jullie vandaag de zon nog gezien hebben, hier was het schitterend weer. Astrid.
Beautiful and clear night shot Astrid. I really like the light/shadow play and the reflections. Nice warm tones too!
Picturit: Thank yoy Richard, the lamplights gave the warm glow, I tried some camera settings, I liked this the best.
Astrid.
Musketeer I think your shot is fantastic the shadows the lighting and the tones are so warming.
Picturit: I always go for the blue, the more the better
Astrid.
I really like the brownish color, it really fits the mood I'm in at the moment. Just wish it was I who had taken it
Picturit: I know that feeling, sometimes I look at people picture and think ...wow..if only I could have been there, thank you so much for your nice compliment.
Astrid.
Im amazed about the fact that the bridge is not names "Astrid"
Love the dim light and the water reflections.
Picturit:
Astrid.
Could be the backs of the colleges in Cambridge on the River Cam. Nice ... but I find the yellowing tint a bit strong. richard
Picturit: I tried some camera settings, I liked this the best, the rest was a little 'cold'.
Astrid.
Astrid the light,shadows,texture of the bricks and the reflection all add up to a very good photo
Picturit: Vintage thank you for your kind words, I am pleased you like it, taking pictures is not that easy, but I love to do it, he light is so very special.
Nice one. I really like the reflections and the warm lighting.
Picturit: Thank you Martie, this was a great place to take pictures, there are 2 more night-pictures coming this week,
Astrid.
That is a beautiful composition and I love the warm tones. Good choice to no white balance. An all around wonderful night shot.
Picturit: Your words mean a lot to me, thank you so much for your kind compliment, much appreciated.
Astrid.
Very fine shot (I would say as usual) of a northern Venezia.
Thank you for your post on my own blog.It's been a long time I've been on shuttetchance to visit my favourite links here (like yours) but I've been very busy. Once again congratulations for your fine shots ! bye !
Picturit: Your words mean a lot to me, I was visiting you other blog, I am impressed by that fine quality,
Thank you so much, Have a nice evening, Astrid.
I think the color tone and reflection in this one is beautiful.
You could maybe crop out the little blue spot in the upper right corner
Picturit: I could have taken that piece of sky out, next time I will pay more attention, thanks,
Astrid.
hey, I know this place, very nice shot what you've taken here.
Picturit: Thanks Jeroen, yesterdays was a fine shot too, I will post wednesday and friday, a night-shot.
Did yours turn out good?? Astrid.
I like a lot the nigth shot. This one, I'll call : the peacefull shot !
Good job, Astrid.
Picturit: Thank you Fabrice for your kind words, it was so fun to be out in the dark...
Astrid.
I love the way the water looks like a mirror and the tone of the picture. Nice
Picturit: We were so lucky, no wind out and a clear night, perfect for the photography.
Astrid.
Moody and nice. Just love the bricks.
Picturit: Thanks Ruth, we had great 'light' in the dark, this is really fun, I like to do more of the night pfotography, I know wrong season is comming, but I am patient to wait.
Astrid.
Nice reflection and good light you have here!
I agree with Martin, so looking forward to Friday
Picturit: I hope I don't dissapoint you now...
Astrid.
What can I say?! You know these shots of familiar places are so very soulful to me, Astrid. I just haven't seen enough of them at night, that's all, so thanks for your very fine portrayal! It's warm and...cozy.
Picturit: Yes Ginnie, warm en gezellig, dat is Utrecht, we have had some nice hunts, this city will always be special, so much to see and so much to do, thank you for your, always kind words.
Astrid.
One good night shot follows another Astrid, it was obviously a very helpful workshop.
Picturit: It was Brian, I was there from 8.30P untill 11.30P, I was almost the last that went home, I was by car and I kind of know the city, so time was not an issue...I am pleased you like it.
Astrid. |
