Hurdegaryp #2: Moon above the Reidlânswei

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 20 February 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

Houses lit by the sunset in the West. View to the East. Tomorrow you'll see what the inhabitants of the houses saw when looking to the West through their frontside windows.

Lovely light and the sky is especially marvelous. I might have cropped out that little sliver of white in the lower left, but a lovely image.

@GJC: Thanks GJC, you are right, it's a leftover from my making the picture 100% horizontal after which I had to cut thin slivers from the edges. I'll correct it this evening because I'm now in a coffeebreak in my office where I don't have my original jpg-format photos.

Beautifully composed shot. I look forward to tomorrow's eastern view!

Nice shot. I love the high moon and the symmetry of the houses. I think though that there is a little distortion from using such a wide lens. I would be tempted to correct that in photoshop.

I can't wait for tomorrows pictures.

@drphoto: Thank you! I couldn't prevent the distortion because I work with a fixed lens that always distorts a bit. I agree in this picture it's extra visible, but doesn't harm the impression too much.

Peaceful moment! Everything prepares to go to rest, but before it.....the enjoyment of the calm and beauty of a sunset. The light is excellently captured and the presence of the few reeds gives the shot a touch of poetry! I like the composition, the high moon included!
