Photographer’s Note

Deux années et 300 photos... Si vous me le demandez, je recommencerais à nouveau...

J'ai appris tellement de choses ici et ça scontinue.

J'ai de nouveaux amis aux quatre coins du globe, des gens que j'ai rencontrés, des gens avec qui je corresponds, des gens qui nous donnent des trucs, des conseils, des gens qui partagent de l'information et bien sûr, ceux qui me font rire.

Merci à tous.

Merci à Adam Silverman.

Thank you for sharing this.

Bonjour André,
Elle est sympa comet tout cette voiture. Avec sa plaque, c'est un excellent choix pour fêter ta 300ème. J'aime cet angle de vue très bas, avec le ciel qui se reflète dans la vitre arrière.
Bravo pour les précédentes et bonne continuation pour les suivantes!
Cordialement,
Marianne

cbrman (19041) 2008-04-07 22:16

Hello André,

Félicitations pour ton 300ème post. Le sujet de l'image est bien à propos. J'aime bien ce tilt et cet effet laissé par le grand angle. Cela donne à l'image un très bon dynamisme. Cette petite Fiat prend toute la place. Une bonne solution pour se venger de sa relative petite taille.
Félicitations encore pour ta galerie qui est un plaisir à parcourir.

A+

dvlazar (6488) 2008-04-07 22:22

Congratulations for 300 quality photos!
A perfect time to post this image too, of course, and it's a really good image at that.

Cheers,
Dave

Salut Cousin,
Belle leçon de bidouillage de numéro de plaque... le jour où je décide à voler une voiture j'te ferai signe! ;o)
On dirait que tu passes ton temps à traquer les petites Fiat lorsque tu es en Italie car cette photo me fait penser à une autre que je pense avoir vue il y a quelque temps dans ta galerie.
Félicitations pour ce cap de 300 photos et bon vent pour ta troisième année parmi nous. Je me réjouis d'arroser prochainement ce milestone en ta compagnie chez les Ch'tis.
Bizzzz
Bibi

ktanska (16695) 2008-04-07 22:59

Hi Andre,
Congratulations!
Your angle makes that Fiat twist for you! Simple, but very much Italian scene. So, you changed the plate. No big deal, unless someone has interest on real plates. But I forgive you :)
I wonder what you'll submit for 500th...
Kari

jackart (5612) 2008-04-07 23:08

Hello Andre!

Congratulation on Your 300th post. Interesting dynamic shot of the legend of Italian roads. Great use of extrawide angle lens. Well done!

Regards
Jacek

Ciao Cousino,
Ben felicitations alors ! Hi hi tres bien fait ton bricolage et un bel exemple d'additive forecasting comme on dit en Turquie, t'as juste oublie de lui cloner le signe taxi sur le toit comme reference a tes InasiaJonesades ;-)
Jolies courbes de cette italienne (!) et merci le grand angle pour les amplifier.
Bonne journee JY

smarcell (14613) 2008-04-08 0:30

I like this distorced wide angle view of one of the symbols of Italy of the past years.
My father had a car like that, and that was our car when I was a kid, and we used it to go to holidays or anywhere we wanted to go.
Times are changed !
regards Stefano

ps. I wish you many 300 pictures over and over again !

MarcT (21103) 2008-04-08 0:38

Salut André,
Superbe utilisation de ton grand angle. Tu lui rentre "dedans" dans la cacahuète. Même la plaque est "romaine" en aidant un peu ... :o)
C'est un superbe cliché au propre comme au figuré pour ta 300ème!

rigoletto (26704) 2008-04-08 0:40

It is nice that you were already thinking about your 300th TE post when you were wandering in Rome 6 months ago. This is called "addictive forecasting". But i don't totally agree with you. Like all the addictions, it has pro's and con's (For example, I would have already finished my PhD if i weren't into this...)
Anyway, it is a good thing at all. One should think of the good things when he considers the past.
Congrats for all those brillant 300 photos, even for the ones you had taken before TE. There is a long road to go. So get into the car and push the gas...
Cheers,
Deniz

luisafonso (858) 2008-04-08 0:55

OK, tell me you changed that license plate! It can't be possible! :) I love these old Fiat 500. And I also like the light you caught on this one. But I would like to see that gentleman in the back a little more close... Anyway, congratulations for your 300th upload! Boy, it has been an amazing journey to follow all your posts. Now, I'll stand here waiting for the next 300. But in the meantime, let me tell you that I am going back to Toronto for a week next week. If you sense something strange in the Canadian air, well... that's me! :))))

Congratulations for your great contribution to this site during the two years spent here. I guess that alter reality is not allowed in TE, but I always apreciate your creativity and so I love the idea here. The POV and depth is amazing. One of those shots that have the main subject coming out of each one's screen.

DKarine (3852) 2008-04-08 1:08

Félicitations DJ Jones pour cette 300ème photo...

Une voiture avec des hauts parleurs à l'extérieur du coffre, ça doit sonoriser tout le quartier ça... un vrai piège à filles! Quoi? ça n'est pas ta voiture? ah bon? je pensais que comme tu t'étais permis de bidouiller les plaques, elle ne pouvait que t'appartenir...

En tout cas je me régale avec ta galerie... merci pour les entrées, plats et desserts!

Karine

Sekhmet73 (4133) 2008-04-08 1:15

Hi Andre, congratulation for your 300 photo! This little 500 seems to be there for TE, its plate is perfect. This photo is really beautiful, I like the low pov, the reflection of the sky in its rear window and the use of the wideangle.
Sabrina

corniste (4236) 2008-04-08 1:26

Bonjour André,

Bon; je résume:

Une voiture culte dans une ville culte...

Avec TE 300 comme immatriculation (même s'il a fallu un peu bricoler)... Fallait le faire cousin!

J'aurais besoins de TE 100 pour demain... Tu sais pas où je pourrais trouver cela?

Bonne journée!

barrufeto_77 (25923) 2008-04-08 1:35

Hi Andre.

Thanks to you then. Pictures as this one as really unusual in TE so...smart compo! Excellent.

Excellent POV and colours!

Take care, Oscar

dkeus31 (26351) 2008-04-08 1:38

Hello Mr Jones
bien vu cette image pour ton kilometre-pierre!
le grand angle rend cette voiturette presque grande.

pasternak (13576) 2008-04-08 1:53

Congratulations! And what a funny and fitting post for the occasion, either you were very lucky (and have really sharp eyes!) to spot this or your PS skills are truly remarkable. In any case, my compliments.

Cheers
A.

Wanda1 (11015) 2008-04-08 3:28

Hi sweet Andre,
What I really like here is your use of super wide angle for this cutie and the clouds reflected in the small window. The number plate is brilliant and the perfect car to celebrate your 300th post...congratulations! I have always enjoyed viewing your photographs and I look forward to seeing many more from your talented hand.;o)
Wanda

Jeppo (12042) 2008-04-08 3:29

Hi Andre,

congratulations for your 300th and for the choice: 500 (old one...not the modern fake version made in polska) owns a place in every italian art and is tied with good memories and times when we were mucher prouder than now, more optimist and willing!

tfs

congratiolation Andre with your 300 th,

horatiuTT (4566) 2008-04-08 4:19

Splendid angle and quality.Very well spotted,genuine and moody.
These cars are very photogenic no doubt.

vinicio (22428) 2008-04-08 4:28

Beautiful wide rear view of the car, and amusing work with its plate, well done Andre, compliments, also to all of your work and images on TE, indeed your gallery is excellent.
Best wishes
Ciao
Vinicio

Floydian (30970) 2008-04-08 4:56

Hi Andre,
Haha, what a great way to show your number 300 here. That plate is once in a liftime, i'll bet you already had the occasion in mind when you took this one....great idea.
Without TE we would never had met, strange idea. Glad i came here for people like you...thanks..!!!
The 16m/m on a full-frame body, that Fiat is exploding from the back, great effect
Take care my friend, Henk

jjcordier (25120) 2008-04-08 5:47

André
Pas de problème, on renouvelle ton contrat...on est même prêt à te signer un CDI tant chacune de tes photos nous donne du plaisir et surtout nous donne tant d'idées pour essayer de reproduire (modestement) tes chefs d'œuvres. En voyant l'immatriculation et la date de prise de vue, on voit que ton coup était prémédité (tu as fait des stocks de numéros?)
Amicalement
JJ

elihesamian (26091) 2008-04-08 5:58

Congratulation Andre !
Roma TE !!! very nice :)...0300 :))
indeed well seen and a great post for this anniversary,nicely done !
I like the way you composed it with the wide effect of the lens.the street in the street is fine element in the composition,really well worked and I like it,Thanks for allthings,for your great gallery,your useful comments and sharing.
Best Wishes
M

Cormac (26455) 2008-04-08 7:48

Wow, great use of the ultra-wide lens to create a fresh and interesting look. It's a pretty simple scene, but when you can use an extreme lens then you get some distortions and angles that are different and eye catching. Congratulations on 300 photos!

Paolo (40753) 2008-04-08 7:51

Hi Andrè...this is fantastic!!!!
not only for the great PP work on TE0300 on the white 500, but for the brilliant POV the wonderufl depth of field on the empty street of Roma, the wonderufl tones and the excellent quality too.
a great way to celebrate the 300th!
thanks, ciao

hrschwartz (696) 2008-04-08 8:44

Were you saving this one for your 300th?

Congratulations. We all enjoy your photos and comments.

Loic_bzh (7061) 2008-04-08 9:09

Salut, le cousin.

D'abord bravo pour les 300 (et pour le Photoshop! :p). J'aime bien la façon dont tu as su rendre géante cette voiture lilliputienne. Le reflet sur la lunette arrière est superbe.

Bonne journée,

Loïc

CatherineD (4860) 2008-04-08 11:14

Salut André,
Quelle vantarde cette petite italienne! J'aime beaucoup cet effet grand angle sur fond ocre romain. Et félicitations pour ta 300e superbe contribution à cet site génial...
Amitiés,
Catherine

Bonsoir André
jolie compo pour célébrer cette 300ème. J'aime beaucoup le cadrage et le grand angle utilisé. Une belle idée. je te souhaite une belle continuation sur TE... Au plaisir de lire les commentaires marrants que tu laisses sur nos différentes photos.
amicalement

bravo a toiu
c'est toujours un regal de parcourir ta galerie...surtout maintenant que tu t'es mis au francais dans les notes!!!lol

euryan (8351) 2008-04-08 16:50

Well, your masterful photoshoping of the license plate deserves a green smiley all by itself. I thought that it was real. The wide-angle distortion is very nice here and I like the view down the alley. The reflection of the blue sky on the back window of the car is nicely captured and contrasts wonderfully with the orange and red taillights. You are one of my favorite photographers here on TE, probably in the top 5. Keep up the good work. Your photos inspire me all the time.
Stay cool,
Ryan

bartolomucci (756) 2008-04-09 1:04

ciao ANDRE BELLISSIMA QUESTA FOTO MI PIACE MOLTO IL TUO MODO LA COMPO E LE DIMENSIONE CHE FA SEMPRARE UNA DELLE PIU GRANDE 500 CHE O VISTO ,
BRAVO

Excellent, quelle profondeur, sympa d'avoir le mec qui marche avec ses sacs...

gary91 (15321) 2008-04-09 7:46

Salut André,
Trop fort la bidouille de la plaque, il fallait vraiment que tu la mettes à gauche pour l'occasion celle-ci ;-)
Et surtout, ne fais pas comme moi et ne t'arrêtes pas là ! Je me délecte trop de tes images toujours pensées et aussi de tes commentaires toujours intéressants et originaux.
J'espère que ce cap que je viens aussi de passer te motivera pour la suite et je me réjouis à l'avance de te retrouver bientôt chez les nordistes !
Bonne soirée à toi.
Amicalement, Christian

Dpbours (220) 2008-04-09 8:09

Hello André,

Hahaha, very funny to keep this as your 300th. Congratulations!!

I'm getting there as well pretty soon, though I've been overly active - managing to get to 300 in a year...
Tell me that you post processed the license plate! What are the chances of finding '300' in a license plate, but what are the chances to find 'TE 300' only on a plate?! Did you look in the government's car registry system and then you hunted down this car??!! :-)

Greetings!
Dennis

edytungkal (4519) 2008-04-09 19:25

Hello Andre,
Yes very nice symbols to celebrate your great achievement for 300th (300 is one of my fav.movie). Great angle to capture this antique car with interesting passage on bg. Congratulation....tfs

daniel

giorgimer (21468) 2008-04-10 4:37

Hi Andre,

great shot, perfect for this tribute! I love the way wide angle lens created distorsion, excellent DOF and composition.

Very well done, keep posting!

Gio

cherryripe (19159) 2008-04-11 11:11

Resalut André
Félicitations pour tes 300 magnifiques images et pour ta prouesse avec photoshop.
Cette voiture est trop mignonne, autant plus avec le grand angle et le tilt.
Bonne soirée
Nikki
P.S. Je vois que tu te rends au pays des Ch'tis mais y a t'il l'espoir de te voir aussi chez les JAUNES ???? Ce serait trop sympa.

Manamo (3474) 2008-04-11 13:23

T'as un rhytme d'enfer mon vieu!!! J'arrive même pas à regarder toutes tes photos, alors imagine les critiques!!
Le grand angle avec la Fiat en premier plan, c'est parfait, la plaque trafiquée pour marquer ton milestone sur TE, ça n'a pas de prix.
Il manque seulement un italienne passant par là...
En passant, si je te disait uqe quelqu'un projette de peut-être aller 3 semaines en Thaïlande et/ou Vietnam, tu as des conseils? Destinations? coups de coeur?
Salut!
Marc

Photo65Net (43096) 2008-04-14 10:16

Salut André,
Avec un peu de retard, félicitations pour ces 500 posts !
Un super boulot sur la plaque, et quelle perspective sur ce symbole italien !
Bravo, vivement les 500 prochaines :o)
Bonne soirée,
JB.

steliosk (4784) 2008-04-15 2:06

Hello Andre.
Lovely capture, I was wondering how did you get the 0300 sign in this beautiful car.
Great use of UWA lens giving the correct emphasis without any annoying distortion.

My congratulations
Regards
Stelios

pboehringer (770) 2008-04-15 7:39

Andre,
that is probably one of the best images that I saw to comemorate a round number here at TE. Not only the number 300 is perfect, but also the initials TE. I guess that you must have kept this one here very well, groomed it perfectly for this occasion or is my suspiscion that you did some "bad" alteration later on? At any rate, it is "fantastico" and justifies the means.
The other detail of the wide angle with the distortion of the little Fiat and leading into the road is a good compostional twist.
You relly raised the bar here and I'm not quite sure what to do with my closing 2 years and 200 shots. You made it impossible for me. I guess I will have to retire before I get to 200 mark in deep depression.
Peter

axiotea (16235) 2008-04-25 1:55

Hello André
je m'arrête sur celle ci, parce que c'est ta 3OOème en deux ans de présence sur TE! Bravo ;D et aussi ayant habité Milan, il y a fort longtemps, mon ami avait une Fiat 500 que nous les français, appelions 'pot de yaourt'. Pas mal la plaque d'immatriculation ;D
Ciao
Marilyn

brandstaetter (14354) 2008-04-25 13:07

Hi Andre,
a perfect shot that you kept for the 300th :)
really nice idea and a proof that photographers walk around not only with their eyes open, but also with another approach to the surroundings, always looking for something special, for something beautiful..
Cheers Christian

coco (28054) 2008-04-28 12:17

Hi Andre.

Wonderful. You can be very happy with this photo and with this lens.
The low POV is also amazing. But I won't congratulate you for the 300th post and the 2nd anniversary... I will congratulate you for everyone of your photos!!!

THanks and congratulations.

Regards.

faubry (32407) 2008-04-30 3:19

géniale cette photo avec le numéro qui correspond justement à tes 300 photos.. il fallait la trouver..j aime beaucoup ce tilt,l'enfilade des maisons et le ciel bleu dans la vitre?
a bientot
francine

Angshu (34027) 2008-05-02 4:09

Hello Andre
How on earth did you find this car with this number plate!!! And to think you took this shot 6 months ago...that's real farsightedness! I enjoyed seeing your pictures off & on, especially your Rajasthan shots, because I can realte to them more, now after my two trips there. I have learnt a lot from your pictures as well & wish many more triple centuries from you in the coming years.
Best Regards
Angshu

Vato_Law (11686) 2008-05-05 0:55

Hello André,
Funny post and excellent work of PP to have your 300th post marked on this marking Fiat 500.
I like how you used your wide angle lenses to allow us to see the rest of the street. Also the sky's reflection on the car's glass was well seen and captured.
Finally congratulations for your creative and quality work here on TE, I specially liked the series you made around the World's taxis, it reveals your good eye and creativity, last year I went to Madeira Island and I remembered your series around the taxis, having taken one photo trying to reach something like you did, maybe one day I'llpost it and of course giving you the credits.
Cheers.
Paulo
