for Treklens honeymooners: Sabrina & Martin

Good Day !

Sorry if I have been away for a few days. It is time for vacation for many of us. We can see it daily when we go to work , on the deserted streets. Like in your hometown probably, there are more tourists in town than residents (^_^). For the people remaining at work, the workload is heavier although. It is my case currently anyway. I will be on duty again for the next six days, and very busy on the docks.I will resume my travelogue in the coming days.

In the meantime , I would like to dedicate this one to a young Treklens couple, who recently got married. This is why they were both off line for a while. Sabrina and Martin are two young globe trotters sharing multiple passions including travelling ( in New Zealand and Spain namely ) and photographying. They even had the priviledge to meet fellow Kiwi members in there last trip.

I humbly present you a little photo from our backyard . Very common flowers , but they remind me a bit a choral suiting very well this joyful occasion. Martine and me are taking this opportunity to wish you all the Best together . Enjoy life daily !

May I add a few links here to go along with the photo, and understand my feelings about this wonderful moment. Leonard Bernstein presents Beethoven's Ode to Joy for you better than me.

You may listen Part I & Part 2 on You tube. Enjoy (^_^)

I've always loved this music, Robert, and your photo here is an apt touch for both the music and the nuptials. A felicitous combination of sharpness on top and softness on bottom. It conveys a certain dynamism. A pleasing frame, too.

bonjour Robert, tres belle dedicace pour ce nouveau couple!
Beau close-up avec une belle diagonale.
La lumiere est bien controlee et les couleurs sont tres belles.

Bravo, Yan :)

Bonjour Robert,
Très jolie photo. Ces délicates fleurs de hostas gagnent à être montrées sur un fond noir. Habituellement, leurs couleurs sont assez fades. De plus, ici, avec l'orientation des tiges, elles font une composition bien dynamique. Excellentes acuité set lumière! Bravo! Annie

Very novel look at this flower, Robert. I love the diagonal composition, the color saturation, and the DoF. Nice DoF and ncie sentiment, too.

P.S. I would suggest cropping out the stem along the bottom.

Can you hear it from Down Under Robert? Not too loud for you I hope. I keep getting interrupted by having to play it again. Yes, this is beautiful music - Fur Elise was my speciality at school... a few years ago now!
Wonderful to see Martin and Sabrina's wedding photos, and this is very special for them.

Hello Robert,

Some precious sentiments expressed here!

Your photograph is quite beautiful! I like the diagonal composition of the dangling blue bells. The limited colours works so well as it shows the shady location desired by these plants. Nice sharp detail!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour et merci Robert de nous faire connaître pour ma part ces charmants jeunes mariés que sont Sabrina et Martin.
C'est une bien jolie manière de leur souhaiter tout le bonheur du monde avec ces magnifiques jacinthes des bois. Très belle profondeur de champ donc beau focus au premier plan. Les couleurs sont douces. On a l'impression que s'il y avait un souffle de vent, on entendrait carillonner ces petites clochettes violettes au son de l'hymne à la joie
Amitiés
Corinne

Hi Robert,
Fantastic composition. As we used to say in Hungary for something which is totally perfect: "as it's written in the big book". So, as it's written in the big book.
