Rathaus Quedlinburg

Rathaus Quedlinburg
2 years of SSC: I chose long exposure photography (this photo from last Saturday evening just about fits the required time frame:-)

The too bright street lamps were a sore trial. The photo is underexposed by 2 stops and there still are some burnt out details....

Une scène bien servie par la pose longue.
Il est vrai que les éclairages modernes à bases de LED sont meilleurs pour l'écologie et les économies d'énergie, mais ils font perdre le charme des éclairages d'autrefois qui étaient plus chaleureux. Les décorations de Noël en sont les premières perdantes.

Merci beaucoup, Alain! Here they kept the old look but the lights are just too bright.The building also could have used a profseeionl for its illuminations;-)

HaarFager club
This is very nice! And if there's any detail in the bright lights that is blown out, it doesn't show it very much. Something that Photoshop CS2 could fix if you're not satisfied with it. I think it's fine like it is, however.
5 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to HaarFager club
Thanks a lot, Kenny! I cheated and cloned out a few of the worst bits, only tiny bits, though;-) LEDs are not very photographer friendly if the lamps are too big, small ones make nice stars but larger ones just blow out...

I know it's hard to get the exposure just right when there is something so much brighter in the mix but you've managed so well here and this is just gorgeous. What a place!

I always enjoy your entries and I'm so glad you were able to join us this week. Happy anniversary, Gudrun! :)

The golden light and the soft purple tones on the town hall along with the reflections they give and the royal blue sky, make this an absolutely beautiful shot Gudrun. I love it!!!

Gudrun club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you so much, Rosa! There was a lot of colour but we thought the lighting a bit uneven which made photos look bad when it was really dark. But blue hour is better anyway;-)

Gut geworden !
Die Lichtverhältnisse waren tatsächlich die größte Herausforderung. Die Extreme zwischen Hell (dieses Lampengefunzel) und Dunkel (die eigentlichen Motive) waren echt krass.
Einen Versuch (mit Deinem Stativ) hatte ich auch. Bin aber mit dem Resultat sehr unzufrieden ...
5 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Heidiho club
Schönen Dank, Heidi! Ich habe eine Reihe von Fotos, nur das letzte mit der größten Unterbelichtung war einigermaßen akzeptabel. Im Nachhineien denke ich, dass ich das Irix hätte nehmen sollen, aber das lag im Hotel...

A lovely night image and I'm surprised at the floral decorations - very unlikely with our local council . :-)
5 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to tiabunna club
Thanks a lot, George! The window boxes with red geraniums were all over town, cared for by the house owners. At the council hall I guess the employees water them. Geraniums are not expensive and can be propagated from cuttings. The wild wine is a climber which only needs to be cut back once in a while.

The colours and detail in the image are just lovely Gudrun, especially viewed large.

I'm not sure there is too much to worry about with the light from the street lamps - it certainly doesn't detract from the image! I did some low-light stuff recently and had the same problem.
5 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you, Keith! I probably should have stopped down a bit more to get nicer stars.... But generally modern light sources are just too bright, you get the problem nearly everywhere these days.

Beautiful. Night shots are a matter of trial and error for me (mostly error) - this is excellent
5 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Rabbitroundtheworld
Thank you so much, Rabbit! In retrospect I realize I could have closed the shutter a bit more... There's always something you forget with night shots- like using tripod and leaving the stabilizer on and afterwards wondering why nothing looks sharp;-)

Die sollten ihre Rathaus- und Straßenbeleuchtng energetisch sanieren. Die LEDs sparen nicht nur Energie, sondern sie sind mit dem gesamten Farbspektrum auch viel fotografenfreundlicher. Zumindest mit dem Kirchturm wurde schon mit aktueller Energiespar-Beleuchtung angefangen. Trotz der widrigen Verhältnisse ein tolles Bild.

Gudrun club has replied to Leo W club
Schönen Dank, Leo! Was denkst du, was wir über diese Beleuchtung gelästert haben! Diese Lichter am Dach sahen bei völliger Dunkelheit komplett bescheuert aus, weil da ein schwarzes Loch entstand. Und das Rosa... naja;-)
