Kobe Port illumination Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this at Kobe port at night and I tried around 30 tries to get this end result, it was very difficult and I wanted to include so much more in the picture.

With a height of 108m, Kobe Port Tower's red structure stands out proudly as a well-known symbol of Kobe, providing a panoramic view of the Port, Rokko mountains and across Osaka Bay. At night, the tower and adjaccent Kobe Maritime Museum create a romantic scene on the waterfront.

I hope you like the shot

Very special light you got on this image - i like the reflections as well - gives a good atmoshpere - can't decided if its tilted - but never mind I like it.

The light and the reflections all is well done, it tilts a little to the left, oh well nothing is ever perfect.
good exposure

Nice night shot of the skyline, Dan, and interesting-looking illuminations on the different structures. Good sharpness and nice reflections, interesting note, just needs a slight rotation to the right as suggested in ChrisJ's workshop.

The light is good and the motive well found but there are some thing that nedd to be done here. First of all there is a strong tilt and the picture needs sharpening. I think the left side needs to be cropped closer too. I made a WS for you.

Very nice capture of the lights and the reflections.
Well done and thanks for sharing!

Interesting and good night shot Daniel, nice reflection too, could have worked also in a vertical presentation and cropping the left just to include the tower and maybe doing the samething on the right keeping those white and blue building on the photo, with the same amount of water, just an idea, well seen.

Great night shot, beautiful color, good sharp, great contrast, shame the photo is so tilt to left, In my eye it is a fault, and can not give full point on that, sorry.

Daniel, your picture is good, but a little oversposed and needs a rotation to the right.

sn00zie (2384) 2004-08-25 12:44

a splendid capture of the port at night.. well done Daniel.

glopez (18) 2004-10-21 12:31

great colours and reflections too

sublime! I like this shot a lot. Architectural shots at night are really the best!

GATTACA (88) 2005-02-24 12:05

Nice shot, but I agree with Ebbe and the shot is blurry.
But I like the contrast of the light at night.

Hi Dan. This is a nice capture. The colours work well against the night sky. The reflection in the water is breathtaking. Japan is a very beautiful country and Kobe has some amazing architecture. Nice POV. Thanks.
