The old tower at the beach, a photo from Halkidiki, Macedonia

Photographer's Note

U tim ranim jutarnjim satima u Uranopolisu je nebo bilo veoma zanimljivo, 嗾o mo枡te videti kroz fotografije.
Sa Istočne strane oblaci nisu bili tako gusti ali su na zapadu bili tamno sivi oblaci, zato sam i postavio fotografiju u radionici.
Imao sam dosta vremena između dolaska u Urinopolis i dolaska trajekta da napravim neke lepe fotografije, ali bilo je veoma te嗅o u ranim jutarnjim časovima sa gustim oblacima, dok jo� sunce nije iza嗟o napraviti upotrebljiv snimak. Naravno blic nie dolazio u ozir , pa sam koristio delove koje su osvetljavale sijalice uličnog svetla da bi se uhvatio detalj vi啼. Podizao sam ISO osetljivost ali u tom mraku fotografije dobijaju dosta 嗽ma.

U Uranopolisu se nalazi Vizantijska kula, simbol grada, koja se nazire jo� iz daleka, i do skora se u njoj nalazio muzej hri�ćanskih relikvija i rariteta. Danas je zatvorena za javnost, 嗾o jeste 嗾eta, al svakako jedna potpuno imresivna i autentična građevina.

WORKSHOP IMAGE

In those early morning hours in Ouranoupoli, the sky was very interesting, which you can see through the photos.
On the East side the clouds were not so thick but there were dark gray clouds in the west, so I posted a photo in the workshop.

In Ouranoupoli is the Byzantine Tower, a symbol of the city, can be seen from afar, and until recently housed a museum of Christian relics and rarities. Today, it is closed to the public, which is a shame, but certainly one that is completely impressive and authentic.

I had a long time between arriving in Ouranoupolis and arriving at the ferry to take some nice photos, but it was very difficult in the early morning with thick clouds until the sun came out to make a usable shot. Of course the flash did not come to mind, so I used parts that illuminated the street lamps to capture the detail more. I raised the ISO sensitivity but in the dark the photos get a lot of noise.

Hello Sa啾,
The position on the beach makes the old building look quite majestic. In a way the WS is better, thanks to the light, but the general setting is more interesting in the main photo. Considering the conditions you did very well with both photos.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Sasha,
Looks like a dangerous place for an old tower so close to the water, but I think that's Dutch preoccupation. Great view.
thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Hello Sasha,
Great view of the beach, the coastline and the old tower. I like its bluish colours and also the pastel blue and purple in the sky. Very well captured and composed.

Hello Sasha,
The shaded side of the house on the beach gave a special ambiance to the whole scene.
It seems that the building has a strongly "fortified" base against winds and waves.
Good afternoon,
Ike

jmdias (116547) 2020-02-21 11:50

sasha

a curious tower in terms of shapes, in the main post it looks like a tower and in the WS it looks like a house. nice details of the architecture.

take care

jorge

mcmtanyel (69284) 2020-02-21 22:28

Hello Sa啾,
It looks like the top of the tower has been redone. I like the colors in the air and sea. 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello Sa啾,

Good placement of the horizontal and vertical lines in this tricky shot. The verticals have wisely been placed in the centre. A superb pre sunrise shot with attractive pastel colours and excellent sharpness. Tfs!

mkamionka (75171) 2020-02-22 1:53

Hi Sasha,
I like the effect you have achieved. The exposition is perfect. The only thing which I would do different if possible, I would consider straightening the perspective to have straight vertical lines of the house in the left. It is so close to the edge of the frame so it catches the attention. But I know other people prefer to have the natural view.
Very well done!!

Hi Sasha
Looks like a defence tower in olden days and quite tall for safety reason I guess and very close to water line. I love the fact that it looks authentic and proudly stands the test of time, you did your best with fair amount of good detail in natural colour under the lighting condition without any hot spots. Great perspective too having bit of interest in the fg with the golden water sheen as bonus point.

PS: We can view in great detail of the structure in your lovely workshop pic, appreciate that. Great effort, Congrats and tfs and useful notes
Best regards

Dobro vece Sasha, the sky took pastel hues at the sunrise. The beach was deserted by earling morning. That stonework on the beach draws attention. Fine colors, good sharpness, instructive photo note, regards.

clic (76) 2020-02-22 12:24

Hello Sasha As you mentioned below, it seems that you worried about possible noise in your picture. Please don't because on recent cameras, it is possible to raise ISO very high and it will not show, unless you captured a scenery for huge enlargement or if you use only a part of your take as main capture and discard the surrounding. I didn't see any sign of grain in the sky of this beautiful view of the old tower, and believe me it was after having enlarged my screen at 250 %!!
You show a very interesting piece of history. Cheers

pierrefonds (115596) 2020-02-25 12:02

Hi Krzysztof,

The distance between the beach and the horizon is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the old tower. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.
