[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
a weather report shot, just to catch a moment, the day was sunny and sooooooooo hot !!!!!!! and then we thought that some rain would be welcomed... and a storm arrived ! (see the storm coming in the BG of my cliché of the Rialto)
then, athmosphere refreshed, sun was coming back at this moment... and just before it appeared, i take this photo
later, the big cloud came back, and was gone one hour later... alternative sunlight and cloud-stormlight, an occasion for quite strange light conditions which transformed my tourist photos of Venice into something quite special... (more in future posts on TE and TL, if I succeed, my connection is not good)

PP: resize for TL, sharpen

Hello,

quel effet, fantastique ce ciel que laisse passer ces rayons, ce gros nuages dentelé, avec le clocher en noir, vraiment une très belle compo.

Bravo et amitié

Nicou

Hi J.C.,

You can hardly call this picture a cliché, the way you show the Rialto is exceptional.
Beautiful to see the rays of light and the edges of the stormclouds light up.

Hahahahahahaha!!!
Your note I perfectly understand jo,and your own interpretation of the '"cliches"' of Venice are very surprising.

Love the mood here Jonathan. Great expert capture of these rays.
Such a beautiful example of nature in action.
Though the buildings are dark, I think they balance what is happening in the sky really well.
Nice work.

beautiful image lights striking from behind the clouds creating a nice silhouette of the towers, well captured Jean.TFS.

Hi Jo,

Hans

Awesome capture JC, I love the sun rays and the highlighting on the edhe of the cloud, well spotted

Excellent architectural image. I like the clouds as well as the angle, well seen

Hello there

I have often seen this amazing view as the sun breaches the edge of a cloud but, I never have my camera with me at the time.

A well timed and nicelt balanced shot here, good lighting shoing us just enough detail on the buildings and an excellent diea for the theme

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Hello Jean. Good shot, the light burst at the edge of the cloud is enhanced by the silhouetted buildings. Thanks for sharing.

Regards Phil.

Salut jc
c'est le genre de vue qui vous rends tout petit. Ce nuage dentelée de lumière est vraiment magnifique et la conjonction des rayons lumineux qui descendent et de cette tour qui pointe vers le ciel nous offre une perspective vertigineuse. C'est superbe.
Amicalement

Hummmm!!J'aime beaucoup cette ombre déporté qui est assez rare a observer lorsque qu'un cumulonimbus se forme..
C'est juste a composer en ville mais tu t'en tire admirablement bien!!

Voilà un cliché qui me plaît beaucoup pour son originalité, l'ambiance et la composition. En d'autres mots une réussite, c'est certain.

Michel.

Bonjour Jean-Christophe,
Une photo d'ambiance, incontestablement, qui nous montre Venise sous un autre angle que celui de la carte postale classique.
Les contrastes forts, le cadrage et la composition (avec ce nuage qui semble littéralement sur le point de s'abattre sur la tour) font peser une menace sur cette ville, qui semble retenir son souffle. Le calme avant la tempête...
Tout cela rendu de façon très palpable.
Merci du partage & amicalement,
Erik

Excellent light and atmosphere--the cloud with those silver margins, the silhouette of the tower, the rays emerging from the cloud...
TFS,
Andreea

Hello Jean!
Amazing composition!
Maybe the buildings are too dark but in that way you get emphasized the sky.

Hi Jean Christophe,

nothing else than Fantastic! comes to my mind.
This is such a superb photo...so perfectly composed and balanced but more important with fenomenal light coming from the back of the clouds.
Heavenly!

My best,
Jeri
