Old Town, a photo from Pomorskie, Ouest

Photographer's Note

Well, at times everybody likes to experiment a bit with the photography, although TE is not the place where one should go to far with it...
But this time it is my turn. While visiting the Old Town of Gdańsk I found that lovely wehicle parked in front of the new building styled in an old half-timbered style so much typical for Gdańsk.

Just one thing I did with the camera in order to achieve this effect: i set the exposure correction to +3,7EV. PP: gamma correction (-) and contrast (+).

More on the city of Gdańsk tomorrow.

Nice, really nice colours in the photo.
An a nice the inclined street: gives dynamism to the photo.
Well done (I would like see more photos of this place).

Jerzy,
I like this composition and experiment.
At least is not too conventional.
What is the reality? How many are the realities?

The effect is nice.
Davide

being a pp lover myself i can only congratulate you for this excellent image, Jerzy.
Colors are stupendous. compo is also excellent. sometimes, yes, a pp wisely used, why not?

Love the colors, POV, tilt and high contrast! Very nice! JP

lukkul (510) 2005-05-04 12:00

Hello Jerzy,
A nice artwork you did with your corrective exposure adjustments. I like very much the enquadrement, the approach to the car and the colors, textures, and details you got.

Congratulations for this interesting work!
Luis

a little over exposed, but very nive idea though, well done

Fixfocus (9385) 2005-05-04 12:29

A succesful experiment Jerzy!
The compo with the schrill colors,strong contrasts and the dynamic perspective works!

weswang (18223) 2005-05-04 12:42

Hi Jerzy, I think you have done something special here. I feel that this is a special drawing postcard. I have to say that nothing is convention here. The colors are strongly contrasted and the saturation is very high.
I like the outcome of this special photo with very strong statement. You have shown us how to make an over exposed photo into an attractive art piece.

nerve (10231) 2005-05-04 13:18

Well Jerzy, your experiment worked perfectly
in this shot i think,, Its a wonderful tilt and a great contrasy colours.. i love it.
A very imaginative one from you!
Have a good day..

Hello Jerzy!!
great experimentation here I think the strong colors fit with the collection car we have got the feeling to be in the 50's
thanks for that

OK experimental note taken and understood but I think it's great - colours - the burn works really well to effect and the combinations different eras and shapes - I love it!!

All power to your lens BB!

avigur_11 (22535) 2005-05-04 15:01

Excellent PP work has created a fantastic mood here, Jerzy. THe white BG is a hood idea, it henhances the beautifl blue car. The tilt also works great. Very good job.

nwoehnl (122) 2005-05-04 15:29

Very nice experiment, Jerzy. The intentional OE worked out fine here, together with the tilt. In particular, the blue car in front lends a bit of a pop-art look to the scene. I also like the old building façades popping up at the left. I should also try this, maybe I'll remember on my trip to New York City next week.

tomaszmarcinek (1507) 2005-05-04 18:03

Czesc, Bardzo udany eksperyment, bez dwoch zdan. Kompozycja ciekawa, a i kolorystycznie bardzo interesujace. Dzieki za inspiracje. Tomek.

jpdeloof (2546) 2005-05-05 4:20

bonjour Jerzy.
Beau travail;
Bel angle de prise de vue.
Un petit détail, le toit de la voiture disparaît dans le blanc.
Beaux contrastes.

RGatward (20086) 2005-05-05 4:30

Nice, an experiment. Great angle,PoV and PP. Only quibble is that it's a shame the line of the roof is lost the sky, not sure what you could have done about it though.

zebrowski_artur (682) 2005-05-05 4:38

Szalone lata 60., dzieci kwiaty i te auta. Bardzo ciekawy kadr.

Wlasnie chcialem dodac do Workshopu zdjecie w wersji B&W - a tu niespodzianka :)

pozdrawiam
Artur

ChrisJ (152452) 2005-05-05 6:54

Hi Jerzy

I like the high contrast & extreme graphism, bordering on a lithograph, where all intermediate tones have been eliminated, & only shadows & highlights remain. Good color & sharpness.

kdien (9367) 2005-05-05 16:31

Piêkne skojarzenie, wspaniale pokazane. Zakrêcone na maksa. Pozdrawiam, Krzysztof

arnabchat (7233) 2005-05-08 9:07

this one is a classic. the colors and your experiment with your camera! lethal combination.

mrbialy (2568) 2005-05-20 16:27

Dla mnie bomba. To nie wyglada jak z Polski zdjecie ale jak z "dzikiego zachodu". Moim zdaniem bardzo dobrze ujete i w tym caly pic. Dzieki temu ujeciu jest tu widoczny niesamowity klimat. Niezla bryka. Jedno slowo krytyki: moim zdaniem troche wypalone niebo ale nie wiem czy w tym przypadku ma to az tak duze znaczenie.

joseelias (0) 2005-06-09 8:45

I think TE is place to experiment too. It only has to fit into the objective. If not we’ll end up only with snap-shots…

In this one I really love the overexposure effect. It’s something I’ve tried but still haven’t posted here. But I must explore more nevertheless. Besides this, the tilted POV is great. The final touch is given by the car which is beautiful. So this is a very interesting image as to the experimental effect of the exposure, we have a creative framing and an exotic subject. Very nice.

Splendid colours and nice composition. Welldone.
