[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ah, holidays... so lots of time for photography ;o).
Of course I had brought my tripod along, so one day I went out alone for some late evening shoot. I really enjoyed that... no-one asking me to hurry it up, taking the time I needed to, and also enjoying the lack of tourists one can't avoid in daytime...
Even Dingo -who is used to waiting patiently by my side- wasn't accompanying me.

This house is opposite Montignac's church. I liked the architecture, but hope I can convey it in this simple shot. Lots of disturbing elements around, I tried my best to avoid them.

Tech talk

Camera on tripod - naturally!

In-camera compo, no cropping applied.

Levels, shadows and highlights - my standard tools.

Downsized for TL as per usual in a couple of steps using a PS action.

Added a small frame with another home-cooked action.

Bonsoir, Frank
Assez joli vue nocturne.On y peut se premener ou s'asseoir sur le balcon avec un pot de vin et le regard vers les etoiles, ah?
Bonne soiree
Merci pour le partage

Hi Frank,
Beautiful photo,congratulation,

Frank, I think the architecture is done more justice by capturing it at night.
It works wonderful this way and it is just the right type of houses to create a mood that feels like a december picture.

Hoi Frank,
Ik zat even te twijfelen of ik deze foto nou te donker vond of dat het eigenlijk precies goed is. Ik ga toch voor het laatste vooral om dat de blauwe lucht en de lampen er zo perfect uitzien. Het geeft de foto ook een sprookjes achtig gevoel.
Een erg mooie compositie, maar ik mis een beetje de scherpte die men verwacht tijdens een lange sluitertijd opname.
Groeten,
Niek

Rob

Mooie plaat.
Great nocturnal Frank!
Was looking in the specs to see if you used a tripod.. could not find the answer.. maybe you did or leaning on a fence..law wall ? (I often do in a situation like that )
What ever you did ..its a ''welldone shot)

Oeps, deze heb ik gemist Frank !
( buiten die 390 andere nog te doen ... )

Heel mooie sfeerplaat, mooi van kleuren.
Door die rechtse lamp komt de structuur van die stenen wel goed uit !

Groetjes
