Bruges in Belgiun: Three night panos

steephill · Aug 29, 2010

Was on tv here last night, Jack! It really captures night-time Bruges and gives a very alternative view of the city. Perfect timing for Phil's panos.

I was at a conference in Bruges on the 9th of September 2001 so I shall never forget the place. It was a very stange experience standing in one of those medieval streets looking through a tv shop window and witnessing that awful event.

I have been since with happier memories I hasten to add.

Beautiful work. The wet pavement adds a sparkle too.

It's so nice to see you back here--glad to hear things have calmed down enough for you to work on some pics!

And I sure hope it stays that way.

Thanks, Irek. Hope I will find the time soon to give a better tour of this fine city with some more locations.

I instantly recalled a film noire, called "In Bruges", starring Colin Farrel, Ralph Fiennes and Brendan Gleeson from around 2008. You have captured the town square and canals wonderfully. Thanks...

Yes, I've seen this film too a year ago, and now am looking to get it again after my visit to see how Bruges is represented in it. A really strange and inventive film this is!

Thanks for looking!

As Bruges is one of our favorite places to visit when in Europe, your spectacular photos bring back wonderful memories of our visits there. Walking the city streets, eating chocolates, mussels, great pastries and drinking fabulous Belgian beers.

Glad to have evoked those memories.

Masterfully done, Phil, as always. I also saw your cable guy, which was good too, altough not quite in the same league as these (more to do with my tastes, perhaps, than your photographs).

Thanks, jonska. You're right, the "cable guy" is another class of photography, hard to compare. These ones were definitely more work! ;-)

Cheers and thanks for the memories

Thanks for your comment and for the link, Jack. I've also seen this film, and am trying now to get a copy of it for a second look. So the trailer is a good start.

I'm happy I do not have to pick one of these; they are all awesome; I also like your style (in PP?) in working with the tones.

Thanks. They might be a bit on the bright side on some systems and monitors, but I like them as they are so far, so your comment is truly welcome.

Nicely done as normal Phil, thought they all appear a little brighter than I'd imagine they should on my calibrated monitors.

Thanks, Rob. They are sure on the bright side - I also "developed" them on a calibrated monitor; I've a second uncalibrated one that has a other response curve or gamma especially for the midtones - and it looks a bit too bright on that one. AFAIK Macs also have a different gamma, so I might re-evaluate my processing for screen and tone down the lights a bit in a second version. For print it's already okay.

So thanks for your comment!
