just your imagination Photo

Photographer’s Note

When we arrived in Carlow town, we had a feeling that we are the first tourists here ever. People were looking at us with curious faces especially when I started to take pictures on the street. When I asked in a newsstand about the possibility to buy postcards they were smiling most probably thinking Why would anybody want to buy a postcard from Carlow?. They were incredible nice and helpful though and the town is very clean and tidy. Language prevalent on the street was Polish.

I took couple of postcard-like photographs but they are not quite fascinating. Unfortunately this fantastic blue sky which you can see in my previous Carlow upload was just temporary and just few minutes later heavy clouds arrived covering tightly the sun and placing everything in the dark grey shade. This photograph here was taken in such a shade when the colors were basically gone, that is why I decided to use pseudo-HDR technique to enhance it.

Far in the distance you can see a fragment of Carlow Castle, in the foreground… a piece of art. It may be not quite what it looks like from this perspective. I leave it to your imagination though. I was not able to find any information about it.

Czesc Mariusz,
Hm...napewno inne to zdjecie; kompozycja jak i tematem nie jest nawet podobne do Twoich poprzednich prac. Ma ono cos w sobie, ze ogladajacy przez chwile patrzy na nie szukajac harmonii w tym zawirowanym kadrze. Tworzysz sztuke;) Obrobka ladnie powyciagala kolory z tego zdjecia. Bardzo sprytna praca.
Pozdrawiam,
D.

Hello Mariusz!

amazing piece of art, excellent photo in terms of composition and framing, fantastic graphism and excellent definition! There is a "problem" in light managment, there is visible "halo" as a result of Post processing (HDR?). Anyway, it's a very impressive photo and a great photographic subject!

Inne...jakieś takie...
Ten topic (top of the PHOTO) jest wrecz surrealistyczny, się podoba mi,

Bonjour Mariusz.
On ne peut que rester perplexe devant une telle sculpture. La photo est très belle avec le ciel et le château pris dans le cercle.
Beau travail !

Hi Mariusz ,
Haces una excelente fotografia que me gusta mucho y me parece muy interesante .
Antes que nada te doy las gracias por el consejo que me diste para la reduccion y publicacion de las fotos en TE.
Tambien estoy interesado en saber que tipo de postprocesado le das a tus obras que le dan un grafismo y espectacularidad muy interesante.

Recibe un cordial saludo.
Luis

Hej Mariusz,
I pozamiatane! :)
Więcej takich zdjęć! Kompozycja lokuje to foto na najwyższej pólce, HDR udany, dodaje dramatyzmu.
Podoba mi się - wielkie brawa!

Hello Mariusz,
I think that your picture, which demonstrates an interesting look at the old castle thru the modern sculpture, is itself a piece of art. Very clever idea and perfectly good realization of it!
Best regards and welcome to Ukraine (may be I will able to recommend some interesting places to visit),
