Tegenlicht - Backlight

Tegenlicht - Backlight
Opdracht was ‘Tegenlicht’.

Voor deze foto was ik net op tijd. De zon was achter de huizen aan het verdwijnen en ook de tulpen beginnen uit te bloeien. Deze tulpen staan in betonnen bakken die deze lente op de Magere Brug zijn gezet.
Deze brug is tegenwoordig een belangrijke schakel in het autovrije fiets- en toeristenverkeer over de Amstel. De naam van de brug heeft niks van doen met het verhaal wat zowel aan toeristen als in de James Bondfilm ‘Diamonds are forever’ wordt verteld,, beide verhalen berusten op fantasie.

Vandaar ook de muziek: Diamonds are forever door Shirley Bassey www.youtube.com/watch?v=doAy4Ivcidg

Challenge was ‘Backlight’.

For this photo I was just in time. The sun was already disappearing behind the houses and also the tulps are past their best. These tulips were put in concrete conainers which were put on the Magere Brug in Amsterdam.

These days this bridge is an important carfree chain in both cycle and tourist traffic which crosses the river Amstel. The name of the bridge (skinny or meagre) has nothing to do with the story told to tourists which is also told in the James Bond story ‘Diamonds are forever’, both stories rest on fantasy. However, it is a historical fact that some scenes of this movie were filmed on and with this bridge.

Therefore also the music: Diamonds are forever by Shirley Bassey. www.youtube.com/watch?v=doAy4Ivcidg

Very beautiful! I loved reading what you had to say about this place too. I was born and raised in San Francisco and there are so many famous "movie" spots to find there, so I know what that is like! :)

The city centre is like a movie studio sometimes. Streets are closed, one must take a detour etc. And sometimes you see mistakes...

Tulpen aus Amsterdam - es gab diesen uralten Schlager, der fällt mir sofort ein, wenn ich diese Blütenpracht sehe. Sehr schön der tiefe Blickwinkel hier, mit dem Sonnenstrahlen direkt über den Blüten. - Ich muß unbedingt wieder einmal nach Holland, im April !
Frohe Ostern, Diederik !

This is a great viewpoint. Makes for a very strong composition. The starburst is a great addition. A clever musical match for 'Sight and Sound'. A great track by Shirley Bassey.

Thank you, Diederik, for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music
