Reflections of Brugge

When saying goodbye to friends I always start thinking about how it was when they were there. Was it good? Were there aggravating things? What id I say wrong? Did I act correctly? Well it’s the end of a exciting TL-meet in Holland. My TL-friends have left or are about leaving my country flying home what is left are the memories…reflections of a good time.

So this posting of today: Reflections of Brugge….

It makes me think!

_______________________________________________________

The picture is taken during sunset, the sun is at the left side declining below the roofs creating a quite dull sky. I could have used PP to add a "new" sky but I didn't on purpose. OK, less attractive but reflecting the truth :-)

Lens: 28-70mm Sigma lens.

PP-talk:

Shot in JPEG. Decreased brightness and increased contrast and saturation. Increased cyan and blue colour tones of the sky. Sharpened, add frame and text. Resized for TL.

Image details:

ISO: 200
White balance: Auto
Aperture: f/5.6
Shutter speed: 1/125
Focal length: 28mm

Wonderful capture. Excellent sharpness and details.
Well, you know, I heard some stuff about you but I'm not allowed to repeat it.
Not true, if there were any comments, they would have been very positive :-].

Hi Hans,
that's so beautiful and you put it in a very nice frame. Brugge is wonderful, we went around in a horse-carriage there, very romantic ;-) After the sightseeing we relaxed with some delicious pralines ;-) What could be better ;-)
Thanks and greetings

I do like the evening light, Hans... and the reflection is great, thanks to the still water... I always like the way the reflected part is darker, underexposed even, compared to the buildings themselves. Wonderful. I also like the view you show us here. A beautiful city... this picture could be in their tourist leaflets.

Bonsoir Mr le Baron,
Brugge, if beautiful city, called "Venice of North", splendid architecture captured with the setting sun. And which superb reflection with a window which one sees the light are reflected in water. The colors are hot and pleasant at the moment when the shades of the night are done more and more present and will eat the little of clearness which it remains.
