Another shot taken during my short stay in Bastia (Corsica). This one in the empty streets at night in the old part of the city near the port.
A special mood between a peaceful walk and the right place for a detective novel ...

What fantastic balance between light and darknes!
Buildings are lighted just from three little candles, and reflection on the ground have a perfect, meditative gradient.
What a catch!
Very strong mood especialy from dark emptiness behind last house.

the overall mood for me, i feel that it is lonely and uncertain. i like the lighting and the hues. despite the difficult lighting, the quality is superb. my compliments, Sylvie.

Très joli... Merveilleuses couleurs, ambiance de roman... Jolie composition. Est e que tu l'as retravaillé dans photoshop ou est ce telle quelle? Les lumières n'ont pas trop ''brulé'' admirable contraste.

Good evening Syl!

My all respect is youres!
***Agnes

Sylvie ... c'est superbe !
Je sais pas quels sont tes réglages, mais ta profondeur de champs est nickel, ainsi que l'exposition.
La couleur rend le tout magnifique
Je lève mon chapeau ! ;o)

I love night scenes, and this one has such a gorgeous orange tone to it. Love the lighting on the drain hole covers on the road. Well done.

Une belle ambiance, une nuit comme je les aime, personne pour me faire dévier du chemin suivi. Bel éclairage orange qui rejette la chaleur des vieux murs.
Photo de nuit dit photo noir, alors sylve je me suis lancé dans un blanc, un p'tit canon maintenant je serais peut être fusillé quand tu verras le résultat. Etant courageux et loin de toi craindre n'est pas connu :))
Beau travail Sylve.

Great shadow detail and colorization. Well done! B

Very nice job Sylvie! I like these nightshots! So romantic and with great atmosphere! Nice job!

Hi Sylvie,
Yes indeed, it could be a shot for a detective novel. Well seen.
Richard

What a beautiful place!
Corsica is really similar to the seaside places here in Croatia.
You captured nice part of old street in one nice moment of peace.
I must type quiet to not desturb this place.
great photo in dark conditions.
Detective novel could start with spie hidden under that lid.
this photos from corsica are so diferent from your Paris photos full of people and dinamyc. I love that Corcican influence.
Congtrats!!!!

Très jolie photo. Les couleurs, le contraste, la composition avec ce 1er plan avec les plaques métalliques sont excellentes. J'aime beaucoup.
bravo!

Humm, by now pretty much everything had been said already, but nevertheless, I just wanted to give a nice big smiley for this incredible shot! Beatuful lighting again, but what I like most is the low angle from which you've decided to make the shot.
Well done.
Bejinhos,

Ana

What a beautiful atmosphere walking on this ancient streets,with low lamp light,no traffic,no noise and hystory writed on the walls.It seems to be in another time.May be I reduce the saturation,but it's only a small detail.
Well seen
Edie

Hi dear Sylvie,
Your shots are full of memories for me, because this shot looks as if it was taken in Aleppo... The same stones, the same lighting, and the same atmosphere...

A very well-done postcard!

Hi Sylvie,
great moody shot with incredible light, and the empty streets really create a perfect place.. but I prefer it to be place for romance instead of detective novel!!
Congrats!
Marisa

Great lighting and composition Sylvie. A very peaceful, but at the same time uneasy, mood created.

Très beaux tons d'orange foncé pour cette vue de nuit. J'aime les vues de nuit, et celle-ci charme de son calme et de ses détails vieillots.
Bravo!

Oh, c'est exactement le genre d'image que je recherchais en me promenant dans le Vieux Montréal (et tu as pu voir le résultat). J'aime beaucoup le rendu de lumière et les couleurs chaudes de cette composition. Bravo!

The long exposure worked well here. Detailed and sharp with interesting colours. TFS

Fantastic ambience! It makes me want to go there! TFS!

hello Sylvie,
special effect in this low-light scene.
I like the pattern/lines in the pavement - an nteresting feature.

Well done and best regards,
Daniel

Hi Sylvie,

Lovely capture of the mood...excellent composition, I like the reflection of th elight on the paving stones. TFS
