The roofs of Zagreb - Croatia

←Back

Next→

Taken from a roof on a 5 storey appartement house, looking north towards the city center (old town). It was a rainy day but the clouds provided an interesting background after the sun had set. The colours might be somewhat unreal but with longer exposures and artificial light it comes out like this. However, i like it. Comments?

Well I like it also, the artificial light makes it interesting. Nice soft colours , I see a few dead pixels is that right.?
One in the sky just left from the crane, and one left from the window in the front building, little light blue dots...!Really don't know if they are dead pixels but I just noticed them..

regards,

Thanks for your comment and for noting the dead/hot pixels. I did not take care of them and as i sharpened the image they propably came out even stronger. Removed all i could find...
Regards,
Dietrich

I like the mix of the artificial light with the blue of the sky and is a nice balance between the two, the shot being taken at just the right time so as to retain the detail in the sky and bring out the warmth of the stonework in the town.

Steve, thanks for your comment! Indeed this shot was kind of planned. As the description states, the day was rainy and clowdy and I waited until the sun was gone to take advantage of the light-pollution (Illumination of the clowds by the city-lights).
Regards, Dietrich
