Moustiers by night

You may have seen Moustiers-Sainte-Marie more often in my photos, as it is quite a photogenic location. The little town at the lac-du-Ste. Croix and bordering the Gorges du Verdon is a treasure, although it is very touristic. One night I was coming back from a longer walk (and photo trip) and saw this evening panorama that I couldn't resist. I was surprised the notorious metal star hanging between the high rocks is still visible. Your comments are very welcome.

Vincent, you catched great mood. Kind regards, Franz

A magnificent image taken in the blue hour after sunset, the warm color of the public lighting contrasts well with its complementary blue color, creating a beautiful dream atmosphere, ciao Giangiorgio

Excellent light management, design and clarity. Wish I could manage evening images this well. Glad you mentioned the star. I thought I had dust on my monitor that happened to be at a perfect spot for this image.

Hi Franz,

 

thank you for your beautiful comment and for favoriting this photo! Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

thank you for these friendly and relevant comments! I found the contrast between the warm lights and the blue evening colors fascinating indeed. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Wayne,

 

thank you for your very friendly comments! I'm sure you would manage making a photo like this; it's just a matter of trial and error. You're right about the star, it does look like a bit of dust indeed. Kind regards, Vincent

What a beautiful setting and very well captured! I really like the illumination of the rocks from the town lights giving them a warm glow contrasting with the coolness of the blue hour. Nicely done Vincent. Warmest regards, Todd

Hi Todd,

 

thank you so much for these wonderful comments, well appreciated! As you know, photography in this kind of situation doesn't even come close to the magic of what you see with your bare eyes. The illumination of the rocks was way better in real life than on this photo, but I'm glad you got the vibe from this image. Kind regards, Vincent

wonderful rendering of light. tastefully done.

Hi Jamie,

 

thank you for these appreciative comments! I guess I was at that spot at precisely the right moment. I took some more shots, but they lacked the mix of blue hour and artificial light; I was lucky to have this one. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Charles,

 

thank you for favoriting this photo! Kind regards, Vincent
