Ciao Attila, ottima foto, una bella vista notturna, con colori molto caldi e molti edifici da vecere.
la cupola illuminata di bianco ha un bel cotnrasto con ul resto degli edifici con una illuminaizone più da ...medioevo, cupa e giallognola.
la composizione è ottima con il cavaliere su un lato e gli alberi a incorniciarlo.
l'unica cosa che non mi fa impazzire p il lampione che fa capolino da dietro la coda del cavallo.
l'unico tocco, a parte qualche auto appena visibile, dei tempi moderni!
buon w.e.
ciao

Ciao Attila,
bellissima foto notturna gran bella la composizione, bellissimi colori arancio / nero e senza il trepiede in 1/8 di secondo... Io sempre dico scherzando ai amici che per una foto simile dovrei bere un bicchiere di grappa ;))) per prevenire il tremolo delle mani ;))) E penso che in Ungeria non sarebbe di certo un problema di trovare un trepiede liquido ;)))
Ciao e buon weekend anche a te,
Tomi

Ciao Attila,
ecco una foto stupenda grazie ai suoi colori caldi di una delle mie preferite capitali d'Europa (Lisbona, Budapest, Praga, Roma...)
L'angolo da cui l'hai presa è eccezionale.
Ma levami una curiosità: dove hai imparato l'italiano? Lo scrivi perfettamente... Vuol dire che non hai talento solo per le foto (la tua galleria è bellissima e mi sono permesso di scaricare diverse foto come salvaschermo)!!!
Alberto

Angshu (33877) 2006-10-15 23:31

Hello Attila
Superb night shot with perfect control of esposure here. With the variances in lights, it was possible that part of the dome could have blown out...but you have handled so well that it looks 'picture pefect'. Excellent framing with the leaves lit by the orangish light. Sharpness and the sheer variety of colours are awesome.
Regards
Angshu
I'll be back Attila :)

Wanda1 (11003) 2006-10-15 23:54

josepmarin (33861) 2006-10-17 11:19

Hi Attila,
splendid nocturnal shot!
Managed exposure very well, you have obtained reddish tones, gilded and warm very pleasant and harmonic in the composition. The sculpture and the branches of the trees in foreground are fantastic and add more beautiful details to the image. The building of the Parliament is an architectonic jewel, and you have valued it very well in your frame, with an unusual but very graphical angle.
I like much this photo, good work.
Regards,
Josep

alford (3897) 2006-10-20 17:13

Hi Attila! Great POV...I like how you included the trees, and how you placed the statue against the building in the background. Sharpness is good as well, I'm not sure though about the colors - is that the natural available light? rgds.

alekpet (4659) 2006-10-21 17:39

Hi Attila.

Sometimes I wonder where you live, Italy, Hungary or somewhere else, you travel so much. Your choice of POV is without a mistake again. A bit of overexposure on the buildings, but nothing too dramatic. I like the leaves taking part in the composition.

all the best, Aleks

Scharan (13955) 2006-10-25 21:54

Lindíssima foto Attila...ótimo ponto de vista, cores e luzes deslumbrantes. Um trabalho nota 1000!
Parabéns, grande abraço,

pboehringer (770) 2006-10-25 22:27

amazing that it just needed 1/8s to get this beauty of shot. Nice the inclusion of the foliage in the fg. The composition allows to have the impression that the horse is ready to jump into the building.
TFS, Peter
