[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of the comments I received yesterday (from Jancie) was about not taking a traditional Amalfi Coast snapshot. Well, let me make amends: here's one!

Actually, hard to resist photographing such a beautiful urbanscape.

PP Notes:
- Full frame;
- A dash of USM;
- Re-sized for TL.

Enjoy!

Hi Pierre wonderful shot of Amalfi.
great colours, with a strong contrast and perfect POV.
thanks, ciao

Indeed no parking! it's so dense! You captured the scene beautifully Pierre. Well balanced compo with good play of tones. Bravo!

Impressive view! You have chosen very good pov. The buildings compare with the rock give strong scale effect. I like the colours of urban part of this photo. tfs

Hi Pierre,
This is an amazing place and you have captured it really well.

alot of little windows to look at and the picture still didn't look noisy at all, think is because only some colours in it, very, very nice-done!

forza Italy!

Excellente photo Pierre! Et le titre, quelle justesse! En parcourant ces lieux, je me disais combien les petits détails de la vie de tous les jours doivent y prendre une toute autre dimension. Les Italiens sont généralement très sveltes, on comprend pourquoi.
Ce qui est fort dans cette photo c'est non seulement la composition avec la perspective vers la gauche, mais c'est aussi les contrastes et la netteté des couleurs. Ce qui met beaucoup de relief dans ce superbe panorama. Bravo! Annie

wow.. thats beautiful..

Nice rising up in the dark rocks; gives a good contrast; great funny title, these people have indeed special problems and solutions.
Thanks Pierre

Salut Pierre we can see this shot 1000 different ways and it's always a pleasure to look at.
Well done
Rosana

Great POV and composition Pierre. Beaut colours and I like the contrast with the rugged rocks. TFS, Paul.

Perfect shot with perfect scenery. Thanks carrying this beautiful panaroma here and Janice as well for asking it from you;)
Elif

Belle prise de vue, Pierre !
Quel magnifique endroit !
Mais qu'y a-t-il en bas ? Une route, de l'eau ? ça m'intrigue, sur quoi reposent ces merveilleuses constructions ?

A beautiful architectural shot of this lovely city. If my hotel room is on top without an elevator, I will not enjoy my vacation. :)

... and the church on top - it must be Italy.
Nice and detailed shot, Pierre.

Aïe aïe aïe, splendide! Je ne sais pas d'où je sors, mais je n'avais pas vu ce lieu avant. Magnifique, irréel, fou et fascinant. Pas besoin d'artifice numérique, le sujet fait tout le travail d'impact. Fabuleux!

perfect exposure with excellent pov and compo ...good way to capture this Pierre !!

Magnique village riche en couleurs! L'angle de vue est parfait... Il doit y faire bon vivre (sans les bus des toutistes bien-sûr ;D )
Merci pour le partage et bon dimanche
Fred

Hi Pierre,
A very interesting location, and I think your capture do justice to the strange beauty of the place! Pleasing composition, good colours and details... Well done!

I repeat your own words, Pierre: "a beautiful urbanscape".
Needless to say more, not photographing such a picturesque cityscape would have been a crime ;o).
TFS.

My goodness. Talking about a room with a view. How great. Beautiful, Pierre!

Bonjour Pierre,

Tu as bien réussi à gérer la lumière dans cette image de village qui semble à moitié troglodyte. Ca n'a pas du être facile, mais tu t'en es bien tiré !
Le cadrage me plait également, on a une belle vue d'ensemble, l'oeil est guidé agréablement jusqu'au clocher du village.
Ca doit être impressionnant de vivre dans un tel endroit ;)

Jean-Marc

Fascinating. How did they build these? Looks like they are glued onto the mountain. Perfect!!!

Impressionant, tout autant pour la scène que pour la prise de vue!

Le point de vue en perspective donne un très bel aspect et nous montre bien tout le relief et la beauté de ces habitations logées dans un endroit pas banal du tout.

WOW! Such a wonderful view comp!!! Nice soft colours and a delightfull view.

Great one Piere! Exellent!

Take care, Stef :))

Hi Pierre,
Looks like that "L" lens payed off!
Another exceptional photo!
Well done :)

Superbe Pierre !

Excellent angle de vue. Dommage que la lumière n'était pas idéale ce jour-là . Le ciel semble être couvert ici.

Un décor qui me fait penser à Minas Tirth de Tolkien....
Amitiés,
Robert

Pierre, this is nice and interesting place. Now I am sorry becouse I went directly to Salerno without stop on this cost.
Nicae POV.
Marjan

Very good idea of not taking a traditional one and a very interesting composition and location of the buildings! Good sharpness too.

Hello Pierre.

Excellent image, nice composition and colors.

regards.
Jose Luis.
