About Subject Background: Night @ Nuremberg, Part 3 (you see the famous Fembo house). This shot was made during a night walk, no tripod, shot "out of the hand". I know that the lantern could be placed better and that the building on the left may be strange. But no chance to make it better in this situation. ;-)

Photoshop concept: Changed the toning, worked a bit on the lighting, small change to sharpness. The lantern was left untouched.

As always: Honest feedback highly appreciated.

very nice tone and composition,regards


Jan Symank   {K:15755} 9/16/2004
Beautiful light everywhere and of course especially the well placed lantern ( for this situation without view camera :))
I also like the " haze " around this lamp.
Very beautifully captured
Viele Grüsse von
Jan

Very much acceptable for me .. the inclination of building and lantern towards eachother is not disturbing at all .. only thing that perhaps distracts me are the strange patterns in the mist (?) around the lantern .. keep shooting this way ! regards, Peter

Dear Peter,

thanks for the constructive feedback. As I've written in "about", the lantern (and the "haze") is not changed at all. weird light, I know =)
take care,
thilo

Hi Thilo,wirklich irre!Sieht aus ,wie ein Bild aufgenommen vor 100 Jahren...agesehen von den Leuten. Nur das linke Haus steht etwas im Weg.;)Tolle Atmosphäre...was war denn Scharfmacher und Mildtäter?!?
LG,Ursula

The lantern rocks!..the perspective and surreal ornate building works well here..love the tone and the mixture of old historic with modern..congrats!..regards,gayle (7+)

I very much liked the old Sherlock Holmes mood composition. Especially the street light is very well lit. (I loved it.)

About the walls perpective, once I read it on
(http://www.photoworkshop.com/canon/lessons_21-25.html) that when you do a close up with a wide angle lense, it happens. If you follow the the lesson briefly, it says there are two ways to avoid it 1)tilt-shift lenses (I bet they are expensive) 2) You can use to correct perpective under the image\transform ( I tried but the distortion is worser than I thought. I think the best way is not to do close up with wide-angle lenses. :)
I bet you already know these info but I couldn't stop my self from mentioning. :)

Keep up the good work. ;)

Caro Thilo trovo questa immagine molto suggestiva: mi riporta alla mente alcuni fotogrammi (in bw) del film di F. Ford Coppola "Dracula di Braham Stoker". Se lo hai visto mi riferisco al passaggio in cui il principe Vlad incontra Mina al centro di Londra in un luogo dove il cinematografo viene presentato come l'invenzione del secolo. Scusa per la lungaggine, un saluto
Francesca

gerade wollte ich loslegen von wegen laterne, linineverlauf und so und dann habe ich erstmal gelesen was du geschrieben hast dazu und dann kann ich mir das ja alles sparen und nur noch anerkennend zum thema "das ganze ohne stativ" nicken....;-)

wenn's nicht besser ging, ist es gut so...;-)

ein schönes wochenende wünscht

uwe


Stephen Bowden   {K:64516} 9/17/2004
Excellent photo Thilo.

Personally, I like the composition but for me your it is the toning that stands out the most. It is incredible - this is something I need to learn a lot about. So thankyou for sharing, I'm learning all the time :-)

Best wishes,
Steve

Nice colors, scene, smoky street light. The tilt doesn't bother me. Very nice for a handheld. I told you, take a tripod with you ALL THE TIME!!! but you don't listen! LOL!!! Anyway, BRAVO! Have a great w/end, bro!

Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 9/17/2004
Hey bro,
thanks for the kind words. keep my tripod at hand in the future, I swear! =)
nice weekend,
thilo

Suggestive choice of tones and composition.

Hi Steve,

thanks for the kind words. To be honest: Toning is much more simple than I originally thought. Pedro Liborio (kudos to him!) gave me the right hint and now it's just easy going ;-)

take care,
thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 9/18/2004
Dear Efisio,

thanks for the feedback.
hope to see some more stuff from you soon!
take care my friend,
thilo

Bella bella bella.Un palazzo dalle linee cadenti con le statue che troneggiano sul tetto,un lampione con effetto fine '800,le figure delle persone in primo piano sembrano animare una serata del 2000 in una città piena di storia quale è la città di Norimberga.ciao.dodi.

Hi Ursula,

scharfmacher und mildtäter, das ist eine ausstellung über gewürze =)

LG,
Thilo


Ekkehard May   {K:1814} 9/19/2004
auch wenn die aufnahmesituation nicht optimal war:
eine ganz grossartige atmosphaere vermittelt das bild allemal!
auch die tonung mag ich sehr...
viele gruesse, ekkehard


Pedro Libório   {K:53855} 9/19/2004
quite interesting image here...fantastic mood created by the tones choosen...maybe you could give a little touch in the perspective of the infront building...
this 3 girls in first plan look like they deserved a great plan of then :-)
regards!


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 9/20/2004
Dear Pedro,

thanks for the critics. I really struggled hard with the building on the left... next time, I will definitely try to get a better geometry =)
take care,
thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 9/20/2004
Hallo Ekkehard,

danke für deine kritik. freut mich, dass dir die aufnahme gefallen hat =)
Grüße,
Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 9/26/2004
Dear Cenk,

thanks for the lenghty and elaborate comment. I'm also a great fan of Sherlock Holmes and the title actually refers to a role playing game ("Cthulhu by Gaslight") that situated around the victorian age.
will read the link carefully ;-)
I just bought a 50mm f/1.4 to make night shots "out of hand" without wide angle distortion. thanks for the hints anyway.
take care my friend,
thilo
