In just a few weeks time, the pavement will be crowded with visitors, the dock will be lined with parked cars and the moorings will be packed with visiting boats. In these early days of the new year though, there is a chance to appreciate the charm of the Le Vieux Port de Dinan looking not too different from what it would have been like 200 years ago.
Excellent shot, great reflections and all that. What I like the most though is the "feel" of the shot...not that I'm making sense (less than usual anyway)
Exactly what @jgpittenger Jane said!
And BTW, your insight about 365 as social network site for photographers hit the nail on the head. I had an 'aha moment' when I read that -- it's exactly why so many of us who 'completed' our projects are reluctant to leave the site!
I just read your info about you and 365...so well said and I too am struggling to find a way to both be here, post and comment, as well as having a life. Being also a septinigerian, every moment feels precious and making mindless comments not in alignment with savor in my one precious life
Spot the serendipity! White car in front of the house with the colombage. I wonder if car manufacturers and their publicity gurus have given any thought to advertise their black and white cars in this way.
@tskok101 Yes Tiensang it probably is, but that's the shade it was and as I'm not processing at the moment (all the images I'm posting are sooc) - that's the shade it has to stay! Thanks, as always, for commenting.
Thinking about that edge at the top I had a flash on cut-outs, as if the lower half of the picture had been, like decoupage. I'm growing fond of people-less street shots, wondering what could be going on in those houses (perhaps nothing?)
Wow...so very quiet indeed. I think I make out a single pair of pedestrians. Very nicely composed, quite refreshing that you departed from a common symmetrical composition for the reflection.
@tunia Well Tunia, it's obviously not compulsory to like B&W and some images don't work as well as they would do in colour. You would normally decide in post-processing which treatment was best. In my case, with my rather restrictive challenge, I'm shooting B&W in camera so I am only capturing scenes which work as a B&W image. How do I know? Well I'm using a hybrid camera with an electronic viewfinder in which I see the image in B&W so I can see straight-away what's liable to work and what isn't. Like everything in this hobby, it becomes easier with practice. Thank you for all your support and comments which I appreciate more than you might imagine.
