[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another one taken during the TL meet in the LowLands.

Ann & I hopped over to Holland for the week-end, to continue our meet with Yolanda, Vandana, Tanya, John and Vassili.
I have to pay my humble respects to John, as everything was impeccably organised.

Not everything we did that week-end was about photography, as you can see in Vandana's last post... but as photography obviously is important to us, John surprised us with a unique opportunity; he had chartered a helicopter for an hour and offered us the chance to take shots from a birds eye perspective.

I'm glad my lens has a stabiliser, flying in a helicopter sure is a shaky business. Anyway, this one turned out alright I think... it's the Royal Theatre (Koninklijk Theater in Flemish, Koninklijke Schouwburg in Dutch - thanks JT! {☺_☺}) in the city of The Hague.
Thanks for this opportunity, John!

Another view can be seen here.

Tech talk

A slight perspective correction.

Then the usual stuff: levels, shadows & highlights, downsized in a couple of steps and added a small frame.

WOOOW
Frank .. a little jewel
What a nice strong posting, all the details are good.
You did a clever thing by putting the trees in here in a way we cannot measure them with the houses.
Infact.. no one could see this is a miniature vilage
In DenHaag we also call it in ' de volks mond'
*De koninklijke Schouwburg*

Wonderfull shot Frank.. even so for the note.

Thanks from my part :-)
Yes it was very hectic .. but every minute was worth it

Hello Frank,
A nice perspective capturing and cropping the one building, and the roofs of the others . . . and good control of light and very nice details.
TFS,

Hi Frank
Wat een evenement man
Zo te zien vlieg je behoorlijk laag
Waar is het
Er is een beroemde fotograaf die al zijn foto’s vanuit een helikopter maakt
Kan even niet op zijn naam komen.

heel mooi en erg scherp beeld.
Zelf zou ik eens met een ballon de lucht willen ingaan!

Hi Frank

Good sharpness & nice symmetry, between the 2 halves of the same buiding. A marvellous high vantage point, & tfs!

Grappig !
Toen ik de foto zag en in de note " helicopter " las, dan voelde ik al iets aan m'n water LOL
Maar toch een mooie foto : POV, DOF en de kleuren zijn goed gekozen.

TFS
Groetjes

Jan

Hi Frank,


So this is the view from a helicopter!!lol!!!! Nice try, but nevertheless a great photo, good enough to fool someone about the scale. Very sharp, well composed and very good detail.
TFS,
