Machtige plaat; nooit van gehoord Marleen; indrukwekkend gebracht. De naam is als een slagorde van schepen en zo lijkt het.

Hi Marleen,
Great architecture that you well presented here. The overexposed parts here actually are not that bad and gave a more shiny look to the building. The dark sky exposes the subject better too.
TFS.,
Salvu.

Hi Marleen! wow this is so strange... I love the metallic effect of the water... very strange... how it is to live there when it's hot sun outside?:))

Hi Marleen
Your picture shows perfectly well why these buildings are called the armada : they're like armored ships with winding sails, really surprising.
Thanks for sharing

Great architectural shot. The metallic look of the buildings contrasts well with the sky and with the darker building to the left. Over exposed areas give it a shiny, new feel. Only alteration I'd suggest would be to crop out the foreground at the bottom of the picture, leaving the water to lead up to the buildings - would really give a sense of not being rooted into the earth.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Marleen

I like the reflected silver shhen from the lighting. Wonderful sharpness, color, & repetition of the apartments. Tfs!

Great looking buildings Marleen. Very impressive. Thanks for the info too.

A neat photograph. The contrast between the structures and the sky is terrific. The shapes and forms of the buildings are good but as usual the glare it gives out makes the neighbors suffer. By your note these are energy efficient buildings.

Nice compo, Marleen... and nice buildings as well. You captured the scenery very well, the shot gives a good impression of what we ourselves would see if we were there in the same lighting conditions. If you want to avoid - or rather, correct - the overexposure, you should try shooting in raw and taking some shots from the same PoV but with different exposure. Bracketing comes in quite handy. You could then use HDR techniques (see MrPedro's gallery) to create a perfectly exposed shot...
Anyway, I like it as it is. TFS.

Salut Marleen,C’est devenus très à la mode depuis quelques années de construire ce genre de buildings, je dois avouer que j’aime bien. L’architecture moderne est parfois carrément laide quand il s’agit d’immeuble d’habitation, mais là on a envies de venir visiter et de prendre l’apero sur l’un de ces balcons ensoleiller.
Sinon à part cela t’as photo est superbe !
Bravo.

Steph.

hello Marleen,
great details captured. I think the overexposure you mention have to do with the buildings mettalic texture - which tend to be reflections really - so i don't think it's a problem IMO. If i may say though, what I feel is perhaps the wall (on the lower part of the photo) could have been cropped out - it's looking like another frame... i added a workshop just to illustrate this...
Best regards, Daniel

Hee Marleen dit is grensoverschrijdend werk
Misschien is de lucht nog wat blauwer te maken.
Maar zo is ie ook al heel mooi

Hello Marleen, very interesting architecture you shared here. It looks like a metalic building. The overexposure really worked good here. :) Vandana

Ha Marleen!

This is a fantastic shot! I have been to Den Bosch here and there, but never saw this architectural marvel! It does its nick justice: Hola Armada!

I like this shot so much that I want to take a closer look!
See the WS I did... ;)

Tfs, Jay
