Photographer's Note

A way to Križanke (Crossword)

from web
The Knights of the Cross monastery stands by the southwest edge of the former fortified medieval nucleus of Ljubljana, above the New Square (Novi trg). It was built in the middle of the 13th century and redone in 1567. It was first mentioned in 1265. In the walls and lapidary, the stones, with their Gothic and Renaissance characteristics, testify to the medieval whole. The old elongated church was torn down in the 18th century and, according to plans by Domenico Rossi, a new, differently orientated central building was built (1714) with a waved Baroque roof and altars with exquisite paintings (Martin Altomonte, Anton Schoonjans).

The early Gothic relief with Mary on the throne was moved from the abandoned portal to Krakovo Chapel and later to the National Gallery. After World War II, the monastery complex was thoroughly renovated (1953-1956). The Summer Theatre and the School of Design were built, and the Knights' Hall and a restaurant (Plečnikov hram) were arranged. The architect Plečnik was especially dedicated to the arrangement of the courtyards (Hell Yard or Peklensko dvorišče, entrance yard with a lapidary, large yard) and edge terraces. The surrounding is arranged according to his ideas: walls with stone relics and memorial plaques, Graben with pavement and trees, Emonska Street with a children's playground, and the Square of the French Revolution (Trg francoske revolucije) with the Illyrian Column (1929). After Plečnik's death the renovation and arrangement of the theatre was continued by the architect Anton Bitenc, with Viktor Molk by his side. At the edge of a large courtyard, a memorial statue of a portrait of Plečnik's head was uncovered (Vladimira Bratuž) and later the portrait of Bitenc was added. Part of the premises of the School of Design was redone in 1990 (architect Matija Suhadolc).

Hi Vojko,
Very strong colours, sometimes when these night exposres are too bright they don't look right, but this one looks fantastic. Very sharp, superb image and great composition, well done. Beatiful scene as well.

Živijo Vojko,
tole pa so barve. Ne samo da so polne in nasičene, pač pa,cela plejada jih je. Zanimivo, da je tako ostro pri tako majhnem ISO. Izjemna DOF in res enkratna kompozicija.

Hi Vojko,
excellent composition, beautiful corner with splendid architecture selected. The street leads the eye nicely to the pretty tower. Nice colors of the sky. A bit pity that the light in the left got a bit burned. Also the green is not as pleasant as yellow. Not your fault. Actually the mix of greenish with other tones makes an interesting contrast.
Very well done,
M

ktanska (44838) 2010-03-05 6:05

Hi Vojko,
I guess you've add some saturation, but that fits well on this built environment. I like the way that tower 'peeks' around the street curve. That snowy and steep street looks slippery.

Huummm! another fantastic night photo enriched by different types of light and full of interesting colours. The perspective here is very fine and interesting showing a corner with lovely architecture and leading the eye towards this very fine monastery. Ljubljana really looks a charming city in your photos, full on historical monuments and with a special atmosphere. An excellent work.

A great combination of unusual colors: an orange sky with a purple tree, and a street covered by yellow snow thanks to the steet lights. A bit fantastic, bu very pleasant.

All the best,

Hello Vojko, This is a very impressive shot with the lighting and the reflection of the light on the snow. Colors are excellent with the eye following the street to the church and on. The deep red in the background is impressive, I assume it is also the result of the lighting. Well done. Regards, Roger

KateinDenmark (1634) 2010-03-06 23:53

This photo has wonderful color. It seems almost carnival like, but it appears to just be the light situation you were shooting in. I really like it. I like the nontraditional colors on the very traditional architecture. Well done!

Sincerely,
Kate

Arinna (34) 2010-03-07 2:25

Hello Vojko.

This is simply beautiful! The snow covered ground makes a nice winter atmosphere and the sky seems to cooperate with you. The street is indeed wonderful itself, probably in any weather and season, but you chose a very good time to make this shot and you give much useful information in the note, so thanks for sharing!

Kind regards, Fredrik

Bonjour Vojko

Quelles couleurs superbes pour une photo de nuit. La neige donne des reflets à tout et le ciel nuageux devient rouge par l'exposition.

Tres bien

iainsp (3298) 2010-11-07 9:24

Greetings Vojko,

This shot is made very interesting by the quite unnatural colours used - where even the more natural red banners add to the interest. grat shot, thanks, iain.

kiasari (62) 2011-01-15 12:05

Hello Vojko,

I think this nice shot is qualified for more than 100 points and now it's happened ;)

The warm tones of this shot make it so fantastic. I like your idea to do such a framing and light management. Well done!

Have a nice weekend,
