In the light

It's a mix of 4 photos all shot with F8 but different time. ﾽ sek, 2

sec 15 sec and 45 sec(bulb). Would have used the HDR in CS2, but I

was not satiesfied with what came out. Comments and advice will be

very much appreciated.

....if someone should stop here please take time to view it larger for the details (-;

I'm in no position to comment on an HDR attempt, but I'd love to see the four different shots. It would help ME to understand. Do you have time?

 

As far as a general impression of the shot, I love the mood. It makes me think of a movie set in 1800's Denmark. I can almost *see* the actors coming out the door into the cold....

Really beautiful lighting, Bente! Best regards, Ruud.

Not familiar, either. I really like this one, Bente. Great atmosphere and mood happening here.

Thanks for your nice comments.

 

I have been uploading teh color version of this and together with that one I have uploaded the four original photos I have used for this one. Hope you 'get the picture' then of what i have been doing to make this picture.

 

I don't know exactly how old this street and house is but the end of 1700 or teh beginning of 1800.

 

If anyone of you should know the fairytail The Little Match-Seller of HC Andersen about a little girl selling match sticks I can tell that I can very well imagine the girl sitting under these windows on X-mas evening.

Thank you very much!!!

Hi Bente, I can very easily imagine the Little Matchstick Girl in this image. . I think your technique worked. . . the lighting feels very natural with nice control of the grey tones and shadows. . it evokes a feeling of hope in this otherwise solemn image. .
