Gytheio nights (Part II), a photo from Lakonia, Peloponnesus

Photographer's Note

Gytheio is a beautiful seaside town in Lakonia prefecture with many beautiful neoclassical buildings. It is the seaport of Sparta, but also the "entrance" point for many that want to travel to Mani Region. It is considered by many the "capital" of Mani, although in my humble opinion, the real "capital" of Mani is Areopolis.

Hello Hercules,

You use very strong blue color, not disturbing through the nice clear contrasts of the buildings in background
Lovely panorama sight too
Sharpness and clarity be superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice sunday,
John

Hello Hercules,

Superb framing on this city of the seaside with this trawler which gives much of depth and which marvellous blue hour, I like much the quality of the image, the mirror effect of water is perfect and the clearness of the image is very appreciable. A very beautiful photograph, a true pleasure to detail, thank you Hercules.

With all my friendships and excellent Sunday,

Jean-Charles

Bonjour Hercules

Presqu'irréel comme image. Le bleu est surprenant et intriguant. Le temps d'exposition de 22 secs nous fait découvrir un joli port et les couleurs du bateau ressortent très bien.

Brabo et amitiés

Merhaba Giritli, how did you find such "blue" night. Everything, the sky, surface of the sea, strips of the boat...Thus, my title is "Magic Blue" for this shot. The coastline looks wonderful thanks to your long exposure. Congratulations, Tolga

josepmarin (59385) 2010-05-02 6:22

Hola Hercules,
como siempre, una gran toma a la hora azul, y también una composición muy elegante en la que has combinado la fuerza gráfica del barco de pesca en el primer plano, y la belleza de la ciudad iluminada al fondo, cuyos reflejos sobre el agua crean una fantástica simetría horizontal y un bonito efecto de espejo.
Un trabajo espléndido, amigi mío.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hola Hércules,

Espectacular reflejo de Gytheio en el calmo mar y magnífica luz en esa hora azul que tu sabes fotografiar tan bien.

Buen domingo amigo!

guytoc (3614) 2010-05-02 10:00

Hello Hercules,

This is a particularly beautifull blue hour! Nice contrasts between the ocean of blue and the yellow spots. The kind boat gives depth to the picture and stays in the mood thanks its blue lines. Job well done.
Have a nice week.
Guy.

ciao Hercules,
splendida blue hour con i suoi riflessi e le luci del porto.
Perfetta definizione con l'inclusione della barca in FG a dare profondità e ancora più luce alla scena,
saluti
maurizio

mursaloglu (8682) 2010-05-02 14:28

Iassu my dear Herakles
Amazing night scene with great artifical lights makes this picture great one. The boat in foreground is a great support for the background. Ine poli omorfo bravo fili mou ihsan

francio64 (39888) 2010-05-02 14:29

Ciao Hercules,
davvero molto bella questa blue hour.
Il riflesso delle luci dei palazzi sull'acqua del mare, arricchiscono la composizione.
Bello l'inserimento di una parte della barca da pesca, in quanto dà dinamicità alla scena.

Well done!
Francesco

LOOOK13 (19046) 2010-05-02 14:46

Bonsoir Hercule.
A very original composition, and very well done. Colors will extras, a superb sky. One hour blue controlled to Formidable perfection returned. D U very large Cretense!
Cheer.

ciakgiak (30) 2010-05-02 15:03

hello Hercules,
The effect of the blue sky is fantastic, your composition is perfect with the boat on the left, in blue too, and the magical reflections. This image is really impressive.
Warm regards.
Giorgio

clio (27961) 2010-05-02 15:20

Geia sou Hrakli,
Fantastic blue hour!
Gytheio lost eternal squids which dry in the sun but found an extraordinary depth.
I like this boat enlightened by the flash (probably) in the foreground.
Great shot, bravo!
Artemis

Hi Hercules,
The long exposure has captured the light and texture so well, the depth of the colour is very rich. Very nice, a real postcard perfect shot.
Regards
Justin

Kielia (24077) 2010-05-03 2:11

Hi Hercules,
fantastic photo work and a very beautiful but at the same time also thrilling composition! The golden light and the blue colors make it very interesting. The perspective is also excellent. TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

carlosmarin (11954) 2010-05-03 5:49

Hola Hercules,
Bella foto en hora azul. No sorprende viniendo de tí.
Con un potente primer plano de la barca de pesca, y un magnífico fondo de Gytheio, con sus edificios iluminados, reflejandose en el calmado mar, y en perfecta simetría.
Maravillosos colores y muchísima definición.
Muy buen trabajo. Bravo.
Un abrazo,
Carlos

PaulVDV (62846) 2010-05-03 15:16

Hello Hercules,
Splendid blue hour picture with lovely reflections of the illuminated buildings and the forested hill in the sea. Very good inclusion of the boat on the foreground to 'break' the symmetry in the picture.
Best regards, Paul

baddori (20341) 2010-05-03 23:00

Hercule
Photos qui exalte, à la suite d'une manière particulière de traiter l'image que vous, avec une grande maîtrise de la machine et des programmes.
Cette image est une douleur dans les régimes classiques ... mais conserve l'évolution classique.
Les points clés sont le bateau et de la promenade ... en plus noyé dans un bleu brillant électrique.
Aucun frottis rechute, d'image.
Gianfranco

Cricri (176) 2010-05-03 23:55

Hi Hercules

mkamionka (74329) 2010-05-04 7:45

Hi Hercules,
very pretty and original composition. I love your blue hour photos. The perfect reflection makes a very attractive symmetrical effect which is nicely ended by the boat in the foreground. I like the star shaped lights.
Very well done,
