The Hermitage Photo

Photographer’s Note

That's a view (in the background) of the one of the most impressive museums I've ever visit: the Ermitage in Saint Petesburg.

With more than 3 milion of art pieces inside, you can spend hours and hours enjoying its great collection.

Hope you like it!

Rgs, Oscar

Lovely shot with a great pov and angle. Soothing yet sharp colours, great textures and tones. Overall a superb composition with clarity

A lor of stuff to see inside! Beautiful setting for this image. The image is nicely centered and the colours are great under the night light. I was hoping to visit this place next year but I guess it won't happen. Hopefully someday. Nice work Oscar.

Hi Oscar,
You are back..!!!
Hope you had a great trip and share some of your impressions with us.
Your first new one is a very good one. The light and exposure is spot-on with a nice tone of deep blue in the sky which creates a nice contrast to the yellow colours in front. The blur from the people works very good, gives a nice detail of life in the picture...i like that.
Regards, Henk

My husband said about this museum that is the most impressive museum....more than Luvru too:)And everytim when we try to choose the destinations for our vacations...he says:we must go there to Saint Petesburg.But also understand that our boy is too small and he will not understand the beauty and the importance of that place !
I love the motion blur here.The lights-golden against blue- here are great. Composition works well with this arch in middle plane
A nice day

Hi Oscar. Great photo. Nice balance and sharp as a tack (except for the ghosts ;). Good colour also. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hola oscar

I like the yellow vs blue colour contrast & the superb motion blur of the passing crowd in the fg. Good sharpness, & well managed lighting & exposure, in a tricky low light level situation. Tfs!

Privet Oskarchik,
So you've been travelling again... Nice blue hour shot of 'Piter' si that the column can stand out over the deep blue sky, you should have parked you car elsewhere, you'll get a fine fairly quick if you leave it here... The picture tilts a bit to the right.
Have a nice day, JY

Hi Oscar,
Very good lighting management. I like your POV ... the movement created by the walking people adds dynamism to the compo. Well captured and composed. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Wonderful !!! I am always fascinated with effects you can achieve with long exposure. Well done.
Best wishes,

Witaj Oscar!
Good composition and frame. Interesting night photo. Curious place. Plumb-line :-).

Hola OScar
Muy bonita la juxtaposicion de escenas aqui. Me gusta mucho como has en marcado el fondo con el arco mientras nos muestras otra escena por delante
Bien visto
Saludos
Daniel

Hola Oscar,

Bienvenido! Puedo ver por tu foto que tus vacaciones te fueran muy bien. Muy bonita composición. me gustan mucho los colores y la definición.

Abrazo desde Brasil

Hola Òscar,
Sant Petersburg? un lloc magnífic crec, i que la teva foto em confirma. Una foto de nit molt maca pel cel encara blau que contrasta amb la il.luminació d'aquesta meravellosa arquitectura de tons pastel.
Els diferents tons de la llum també dónen una bona varietat cromàtica. I la gent en moviment per la exposició llarga té un toc dinàmic i una mica fantasmagòric. Encara que per fantasmes ja en tenim uns quants on tú ja saps....
Per cert, la foto cau un pèl cap a la dreta, però segueix sent bona, i m'agrada.
Una abraçada,
Josep

Very nice night shot.
The colors and the lightness are excellent, the POV is is perfect and the sharpness is great.
Congratulations!!!
Kostas.

Emile (19887) 2007-08-28 11:59

Hola Oscar.
Barbaro!!, trajiste excelente foto de Rusia. Magnifica vista del museo desde el arco, el tono azul de su fachada y el del cielo hacen un excelente contraste con el amarillo del arco y las personas borrosas cruzando le dan un toque de accion a tan bello y famoso lugar. Felicitaciones.
Un abrazo.

¡San Petersburgo! Una ciudad que quiero conocer, sin duda (y dicen que son menos asperos ¿es cierto?). Una composición muy equilibrada, lo que más me gusta de todo es que tengo motitas de polvo en la pantalla de mi portatil y parecen estrellitas en el cielo... Saludines

jasmis (50184) 2007-08-28 13:27

Interesting nighr shot. Dynamic and somehow monumental, as SP is.
Regards!

zeca (20026) 2007-08-28 14:57

Very nice POV, Oscar! The exposition is also excellent. I just feel it a little bit tight to the right. Anyway, a nice post.
Cheers!
Zeca

Hello Oscar,
And welcome to your new collection of picture of your last trip: Ihad no idea that you were heading for St Petersburg.
I wonder if you used a tripod with this one ? Taken at the best hour, and with a splendid perspective.Like a jewel box !

Friendly regards - Izzet

Angelillo (9065) 2007-08-29 1:42

Muy bella imagen, Oscar.

Me gusta mucho la luz en los tres planos de la fotografía, y las sombras en el suelo del primer plano. Tiene mucha profundidad y las figuras del primer plano de la dan movimiento! Debe ser impresionante visitarlo... para la próxima vez, sólo he estado en Moscú!

Un saludo,
Angel.

:-) Mañana.

bantonbuju (48524) 2007-08-29 2:06

seemingly you brought your "spider" with you for the trip...:-))
light and exposure excellent, a slight "massage" of the perspective would strighten the image (on the left hand side this is particularly disturbing)....
well done,
bw, j.

vbl (1402) 2007-08-29 3:54

Hola Oscar:
molt bona composició d'una segura díficil foto nocturna. M'agrada l'efecte simètric de l'arc i l'efecte espectral de la gent caminant.

Interesting setting here Oscar. The artificial light is well controlled and really makes the setting very special. Also good inclusion of the visitors passing by. Maybe a little tilt but no problem

paura (38278) 2007-08-29 18:11

Oscar,
Composição muito interessante aqui. O ajuste de exposição noturna está muito bom, da mesma forma que o ponto de tomada. As pessoas andando dão uma boa idéa de movimento. Belo trabalho.

Paulo

Hola Oscar!
the view and the place are very good..i like a lot the light and the contrast of the sky...
I am not sure about the strong crop on the arch...
anyway i like it..
ciao!
Valeria

beso gordo!

Hi Oscar,

Indeed Hermitage is a very fine and famous museum. Fine is your shot also! I like the lighting and the colors. i believe you must be careful with the horizon (is tilted to the righ a bit).

CRATEOS (7274) 2007-08-31 4:50

Más de lo mismo.

Hola Inferior.

La foto no es que sea mala, es que no tiene ningún punto de interés.
Me aburres con tus fotos.

Narcís Reyerta.

Hello Oscar,
I like this :) Very good rich colours; the lighting is perfect! I've been to St. Petersburg many times, so I know very well "what is where" :) I like this combination of the deep blue sky and the yellow colour of the arch! The Winter Palace always looks grand :)
IMHO, the image needs a bit of tilt to the left... ? maybe 1 degree?
best wishes from Moscow,
Elena
