Reflections of Spaarndam

Last month I visited together with SunToucher the little village of Spaarndam. The weather was gorgeous with a nice sky with typical "Dutch" fluffy clouds. In the far end you can see the locks.
Meanwhile the trees are almost leafless.

Took this shot with the CP filter attached.

PP work. Shot in RAW, adjusted levels and curves. Transferred to 16 bit, Adjusted brightness and contrast slightly, used unsharpen mask (150%, 1 pixel) to sharpen. Saved high resolution TIFF image for archive, resized to max 800 pix. Resharpen again with unsharpen mask (75%, 0.3 pixel) converted mode to 8 bit colours, add frame.

Hoi Hans,
Een prachtig typisch hollands plaatje ! Mooi stukje vakwerk, zo'n sluis.
De plaat ziet er mooi helder uit. In je bewerkingen zie ik niet dat je de verzadiging hebt bijgesteld, maar het ziet er zeer kleurrijk uit allemaal. Komt dat zo uit je camera?
In ieder geval mooi werk, zeker ook qua compositie.
groet,
Joop!

Excellent capture, Hans.
Schitterende kleuren, compo en reflectie.
Gebruik jij ook wel eens de tool schaduwen/hooglichten?
Groet uit het Zeeuwse,
Adri

Hello Hans,
Nice post here. Super clarity and nice POV. Good natural colors with a great eye for detail. Very well composed. I'm glad you got to spend the day with Niek ! TFS Julie

Hello Hans,

A bright beautiful autumn in Spaarndam. The relatively low pov with the water on the f/g adequately resulted in a fine reflection. The red roofs and the fantastic sky drape the scene well. Best regards.

Bonne journée Marilène.

It's a romantic place, Hans.

Wonderful, thanks and greetings

Hi Hans,
What a wonderful postcard of Spaarndam!
Nice vivid colors adorned with glorious lighting and sharp focusing.
Beautiful sky overhead with a marvelous reflection in the water.
Nice trees depicting Autumn and lovely colored houses.
Very good work, indeed, my friend.
Best regards,

Hallo Hans.
Zeer mooie compositie en een prachtige plaats om te fotograveren.
Zelf geen auto te zien en dat is heel wat hier in het westen.
mooi stukje vakwerk
Groet Frans

Hello Hans:)
Holland is really so clean, I mean people there are keeping everything in tact.... I wish to see that here;)
Very elegant composition and great colours with contrast as should be.
Greetings - Tom

Splendid POV, composition, light, landscape and colour. The sharpness and deep DOF is stunning with very good detailed notes to supplement your work. Well done and TFS!

regards,

Dilshan

'k heb een fotomaatje die zou zeggen: ut hep wel wat.... Die knakker woont ergens in Haarlem. Ook niet verkeerd!

Mooi plaatje Hans. Het is en blijft een leuke stek. Lekkere kleuren en zo...

Gr.,
Anneke

Hoi Hans,

Dit is bekend terrein voor mij. Ik ben geboren en getogen Haarlemse. Deze foto doet mij dan ook aan mijn jeugd denken. Het is een mooi plaatje en ik denk dat ik Anneke maar eens vraag of wij daar ook eens wat foto maken.

groetjes,

marianne

Hello,
Excellent shot!
Beautiful view, fantastic reflections and great colors.
Lovely composition of the photo.
TFS

You know, Hans?
I truly believe if a person CAN'T take beautiful photographs in the Netherlands, they should take up knitting. :)) That is the most extraordinary light. It makes colors beam. I love that vee shaped cove with the houses on the sides and that spectacular "Dutch sky". Those rippled reflections are fabulous. I am awed. Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

You sure make fine use of that D300...:)))

I missed this one Hans! Your clarity here is amazing! Really nice DEEP blues, with the bits of Red and White makes this shot really stand out! I like the end of the canal off center! Nice work!
B-)
Linda
