Torre Agbar, a photo from Barcelona, Catalogne

Photographer's Note

Here you can see my second photo of in my opinion most amazing skyscraper in Barcelona(and most amazing I´ve ever seen).Its facade is impressive by day,but when you visit it after 9.00PM you will be blown away by its colorful and illuminated facade.The tower has more than 4,500 luminous devices that can operate independently using LED technology and enables the generation of images on the outside of the tower. The system is capable of creating 16 million colours, thanks to a sophisticated system of hardware and software. It has the ability to quickly transition between colours which can create a shocking effect.

Hi Krzysztof,
immagine di grande impatto grafico e buon senso artistico nel comporla.

Complimenti! TFS!

ourania (51103) 2012-10-12 13:01

Hello Krzysztof,
this is a beautiful and fascinating picture. The composition uses the architectural patterns in an ingenious and very creative way juxtaposing diagonals all over the excellent tight vertical frame. Lighting is masterful capturing a stunning range of tonal variations and sharpness at the height of your original and artistic vision. I love the contrasting luminous basic colours. A very intiguing and vibrant graphic impression, congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania

Hallo Krzysztof,
ich habe dieses Gebäude bei Tageslicht gesehen, er ist sehr impornierend.(ich war 10 Tage im Perm Distrikt unterwegs, Serghei P. war unglaublich bemüht, ohne ihn hätte ich bei weiten nicht so viel gesehen, ich Danke ihm sehr dafür)
Wünsch dir ein schönes Wochenende

Krzysztof,
It has never been seen so close and so sharp on TE and in addition at night! Fully illuminated! I have to say that I feel a litle jalous...I'd love that this shot was mine!!! What can I say about your work, that it is magnificent! My compliments!
Have a good night!
Cheers,
Juan

Hi Krzysztof
wonderful picture of this famous tower. Colors into the night are magnificent. Unfortunately, I saw this building when the sky was grey and I can't admire the tower by night. Point of view is very well chosen. Congratulations.

abmdsudi (95869) 2012-10-13 5:18

Hi Krzysztof
Excellent, an intelligent expressive composition in dynamic orientation and what amazing amounts of repeated rectangular shapes surely irresistible to any photographer. The vivid red and blue warn glow ensure focus of attention is held firm there and such vibrancy in contrasting colors make the shot for me. This is a well captured to make the visual senses be moved, of such glorious graphical-abstract image. You have done a great job here, really clever stuff! Congrats. TFS
Warm regards

timecapturer (49288) 2012-10-13 5:58

Hi Krzysztof,
TE taught me about this building, and I agree, it is spectacular. Your capture here does it great justice, as it appears to me to be something from another world, or perhaps the side of a huge spaceship. I did not know it could change colour, so thanks for your great note too. This is a fantastic capture, thanks for sharing!
Best wishes
NOel

Hello Krzystof,
This is a fabulous piece of architecture and you've captured it very well. You gave it a nice, original perspective that enhances the strong and dynamic effect. The contrasting blue and red colours give this a real zing and create an eye-catching image. All these graphic lines make an excellent composition. A very original shot of a no less stunning architectural work.
Have a nice sunday.
Jean

delpeoples (60342) 2012-10-13 16:41

Hi Kryzstof

I agree, this skyscraper is maginificent and the way it has been lit up makes it even more impressive. I love the tight framing, the rich colour and the diagonal POV. Excellent work, very artistic and so very luminous.

Warm regards

ACL1978 (7511) 2012-10-14 6:58

Filling the frame with these amazing colors was a perfect choice, Krzysztof. Really vivid, with good clarity and a perfect fade from red to blue. The angle adds some good dynamism as well.

Hansaphotos (11381) 2012-10-14 10:46

bertolucci (14052) 2012-10-15 8:27

Hi Krzysztof,
It must indeed be great to see the colours change and making the tower look like a giant modernist magic lantern! Great colours and rhythm here. And the tilt adds dynamism – Xcellent work!
Have a nice evening.

Matthew-Watt (5934) 2012-10-15 23:06

Witaj Krzysztof,

Impressive side view of this famous Barcelona tower. I saw it during the day when passing in traffic but did not have the time to see it in better detail. Excellent night time photo with strong saturation and bold anlges and perspective. Very abstract and colourful not unlike the work of Gaudi.

Matt

emka (158198) 2012-10-15 23:58

Witaj, widzę że odwiedziłeś Barcelonę. Wczoraj jadąc z lotniska do domu (po wielogodzinnej podrózy) słuchałam w radio, że Katalończycy chcą się odłączyć od Hiszpanii. bardzo fajne graficzne zdjęcie.

Pozdrawiam Małgorzata

annjackman (23019) 2012-10-16 0:06

Hello Krzysztof,
The diagonal composition is very impressive. I like the graduation in colour from red to blue. It looks like a futuristic spaceship. Very sharp and well exposed.
Kind Regards, Ann

serp2000 (47063) 2012-10-16 3:55

Hello, Krzysztof!

It's a wonderful detail you show us here in a very original composition! And it must be wonderful to see it changing the colors! Beautiful job!

mayjayne (7204) 2012-10-17 4:36

Dear Krzysztof,

I liked the earlier one you posted on this skyscraper, but I like this one even more - the colours are very strong and vibrant, and even more interesting is your chosen POV - the diagonal view enhances everything even more !! Excellent composition !!

TFS,
May

Hi Krzysztof,
amazing sight, isn't it? Fully agree with you, it's more than imprssive! The lighting is spectacular and I love the latticework of the structure, a very special thing. The angle with the part of the building fully filling the frame is superb,you couldn't have presented it any better.
Thanks for your kind words and I'm sorry I don't have much time for TE these days. Still visiting your gallery is always a treat:)
Have a great time
Marina

Witaj Krzysztof,

A picture with a lots and lots of details.
Good choice that you have captured the
building diagonal: the diagonal lines
creates a nice depth in the picture and
makes the picture also calmness and
excitting at the same time. Light
management is also great and de colors
are a nice extra.

Friendly regards,

adores (46979) 2012-11-01 16:44

Hi Krzysztof!
A really great shot of Barcelona architecture! I'm sure the building is worth a few shots and you managed to get a really good one. The diagonal works very well and the colours are perfect!

PecoBud (3824) 2012-11-16 13:33

Masterful presentation and here you show us your artistic capabilities. I'm sure by looking at this photo that this building is spectacular, but to promote it in digital form, shows us your Mind's Eye.......LOVIN IT!!......DUDE BRAVO!!!

TFS..........Your Friend from California........Buddy

Hello Krzysztof,

What an amazing shot of this skyscraper - I cannot wait to visit Barcelona next year - from our world of photography on TE we are seeing such amazing architectural shots from Barcelona,
Excellent photo outstanding colours & I like the angle of your chosen POV.

Kindest regards,
Dawn.

PaulVDV (62944) 2013-02-26 8:54

Hello Krzysztof,
Somehow I missed this picture when you posted it. It's absolutely one of the best photos of the Torre Agbar I've ever seen.
To be honest, when I saw this building at daytime (Unfortunately I haven't been there in the evening. I will do that the next time in Barcelona), I wasn't much impressed. But I am certainly impressed by this presentation.
The colours are simply stunning and I like the fact that you show us the building in a diagonal position. Great idea and excellent cropping.
Best regards, Paul

adidas5nb (5743) 2013-05-26 18:17

just an amazing graphical shot,with peppy colors,and great lines.great thought and creation by you.really nicely seen.i really like how you have framed the structure diagonally.

jcpix (14030) 2013-06-16 19:26

Hi Krzysztof,

This one showed up as a Featured Photo on the homepage earlier today, and was instantly recognizable! I thought I had already commented on this one, but apparently not...which disappoints me because I feel that I've done it a great disservice, this is incredible! That's not an overstatement or attempt to stroke your ego, this really is an inspiring image and they type of approach I've always enjoyed. Being able to take an isolated section of material and creating something so attractive and striking takes visualization and creative design, which you've undoubtedly achieved here. I'm really trying not to go crazy with the exclamation marks. :)) Bottom line, outstanding...big fan of this one! Compliments on a real beauty. Hope you have a good week ahead...try and get some down time, yeah? :)

Friendly regards from Phoenix,

Jason

Indrasish (2943) 2013-07-13 7:19
