Hi TL Friends,

Today I present to you another photo from the beautiful park, Herastrau in Bucharest. If you remember, I had posted a daytime photo of the same building called Fishing for Trout.

I remember when I was trying to take this photo and others under the same lighting conditions, my poor little A610 was yelling at me with it’s red blinking lights, maximum ISO…. “It’s too dark… camera shake….no don’t do it!!!”...lol… still, it turned out OK even if it was hand held with 1/40s exposure.

Enjoy!

Hi Con, some of my better efforts have been those where all the warning lights are blinking. Lovely colours, soft and subdued. I sometimes think the pastel sunsets are just as satisfying as the vivid ones. Well done and TFS,
Dave

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Hazy Days’ and the workshop.

Hola Constantinos...this beautiful scene is in full mood withg those lovely subdued /pastel colours...if you got some minor "shakes" included from the 1/40s...it certainly helped...!
Very inspiring compo...Gracias !

All that pink is wonderful. Good reflections.
My friend has this camera, and I highly recommend it.

The reflections reminds me of an impressionistic artwork. Excellent colours and a wonderful capture.

Nicely capture, Constantinos. I like the sunset, and the buldings and river are a nice setting for that. Good handholding at 1/40th (I can do it with a good brace, too).

For a hand held 1/40 s exposure, this is very good. Well done.

Εξαιρετική η ποιότητα φίλε Κώστα παρόλες τις δύσκολες συνθήκες φωτισμού και την χεράτη λήψη! Τα χρώματα είναι φανταστικά όπως και οι αντανακλάσεις. Πολλή όμορφη δουλειά.

Hi Constantinos,

You captured this place in wonderful colours, I like it very much, thanks
