Rue Becquerel

Very strong photo. Excellent exposure in difficult situation. A very "3D" image -- from the foreground to the background. Adding the blurred person is a nice touch! Kind regards, m.

Uh ... the persons are not "added", they are real people catched by the photo ...

Very beatifull shot. Great depth of field, tones, lighting. Bravo

I like the high vantage point

Christian, by "adding" I did not meaning doing it in photoshop. I simply meant "waiting" for the person to appear. Perhaps I should have been more careful in my choice of words. Kind regards, m.

Simply beautiful!

Christian, you have some great photos in this folder. This one is one of my favorites.

 

Just the other day, I wanted to tell a friend who is visiting Paris next week to stay in the little hotel halfway down the steps in this street. I just couldn't remember the name. Thanks for posting this photo and for reminding me. (I hope the hotel is still there.)

Why is nightime photography so aatractive. Very competent

Great use of light; wonderful "ghosting" effect of the people in the foreground, and an intriguing emotional pull by the buildings on either side of the shot; my only criticism is that there isn't a specific subject to the picture; I suppose the mood and general structure are enough to make a good picture, but my eyes were wandering around, wondering what should really be attracting my attention in the picture

I love B&W night shots and this one strikes me as particularly well composed and executed.

Great picture - except for the vary blurred people in it.

Yes, a great 3D sensation on this one... I feel I can squeeze between those buildings on my monitor... Great!

Beautiful shot. I love the way the man and little girl look almost otherworldly. How did you achieve that effect?

Mark, the blurred people effect is dued to a "long" exposure while shooting (2 seconds).

 

Thanks for the congratulations.

this has a great feel to it

Awesome!

 

Very nice photo, very catching, great job on a difficult exposure. Keep up the good work.

Looks like a stage set. Surreal really.

Yes, it does look like a stage, and the people in it look like a little painting that someone added as an afterthought.

 

9/8

Reminds me of the stairs in the begining of the movie Ronin.

wow, perfectly b&w-work

This is the kind of cityscape I've always wanted to photograph and have never found. I love the depth, the layering of angles, everything. I also suspect some skillful darkroom work went into helping make this image so good.

Ala Brassai. Is this the same location? I actually wish the people weren't in the photograph, but very nice regardless...

You sir, are underrated in my opinion ........... some excellent images in your folders !

You have much better night shots in your folders. This, as good as it is, not one of your better ones. I still like it however. There's depth and the tones are superb.

 

Well deserved.
