Foggy day in Copenhagen, a photo from Kobenhavn, East

Photographer's Note

I am persistent in sharing my Copenhagen photos. As you see in this photo, the weather didn’t spoil me there. I really liked this town, it is quite picturesque, but the light I had was too challenging for me.

This photo was taken along Amagertorv, an elongated square which is part of a longer pedestrian promenade, Stroget. A faded silhouette of tower, which you may be able to spot in the sky, belongs to former St Nicholas Church, one of the oldest churches in town (going back to 1200s), which was turned to the Nikolaj, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center.

Czesc Mariusz!
Jak przyslowie mowi, "nie zawsze swietego Jana"
Ale to cz-b zdjкcie ma swoj urok.
Czasem znakomicie ukrywa braki kolorow.
Ciekawy plac, interesujaca "posadzka".
Mgla dodaje smaku tej kompozycji.
Milego wieczoru.

Hi Mariusz,the choice of black and white is perfect for a foggy and rainy view of this rainy day so grey,a beautiful perspective from your danish archive that i remember very well. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Calkiem klimatyczny nastroj tego zdjecia. Mgly, zamglenia i chmury maja swoj urok nie tylko w krajobrazie ale nadaja tez swietny charakter miejskim zdjeciom.
Dobry pomysl na zdjecie, ciekawe warunki i swietna realizacja
pozdrawiam
Piotr

Hi Mariusz
A good misty B&W (was it B&W or colour film?). The broad paved foreground actual leads you into the photo.
cheers

Hi Mariusz,
Good option for this photo with this foggy weather, good contrast result in b&w, perfect to present this pavement, well framed with a large FG, interesting depth, tfs.

Bonjour, cher Mariusz,
Un retour en arriиre bien agrйable а travers cette prise de vue en noir et blanc qui donne plus de force а la composition.
Le sol luisant sous la pluie et l'architecture environnante donnent un aspect particulier fort intйressant.
Amitiйs.
Philippe

Hello Mariusz,

B&W was a good choice for a foggy day, it allows the weather conditions to express themselves and become a natural part of your photograph. I love to take photographs when mist is around, for atmosphere, but it doesn't happen too often where I live.

The tiled walkway is a very important feature in your photograph and makes a sort of erratic guide to the people and well positioned buildings. It has a secondary use too, in that its shiny surface further reveals the weather conditions.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Ciao Mariusz, fascinating B&W by low POV, excellent perspective and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hello Mariusz,
Such a pity it was a foggy day like that, although it does have its own mood and charm as well. I like the low viewpoint, which included a large part of the pattern of the square very nicely. Well done.
Lars

Hello Mariusz,

interesting image of Copenhagen under the fog, I like the scene and the low perspective you chose to show this square, good idea and good result,

Best regards,

Sergio

Hi Mariusz
Denmark is a country I need to explore again...because when I was here many years ago I only visited Copenhagen and nowhere else. And yes, we often see bright colorful shots from here, so this is very unique and different for sure. and why not right? just post it :) Nice to see something different from here. cheers

Dear Mariusz
A very beautiful scene from the streets of Copenhagen, made under very heavy light.
Often, I like to capture the sidewalk in the foreground, its great textures and gives a sense of depth and fine daily living scene and architecture in the background.
Excellent choice of black & white format, foggy mood and very nice composition.
Kind regards
Saљa

Czesc Mariusz!

I don't recognise this part of Copenhagen, perhaps because of the fog or maybe I was there at night. A superb wide angled b&w shot with good sharpness and tonal range. Tfs!

ikeharel (112391) 2020-02-20 5:16

This picture has special ambiance with the fog/mist, Mariusz. B&W rightly chosen and achieved depth despite these conditions, and scale by the people at the paved street.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Miguel82 (47110) 2020-02-20 12:19

Mariusz, good idea to convert the photo into a black & white version due to the fog. The promenade floor is made of geometrical patterns, they draw attention when you visit the city for the first time. The imposant church represents a landmark in Copenhagen. Fine colors, good sharpness, interesting photo note, regards.

mcmtanyel (67507) 2020-02-20 20:39

Hello Mariusz,
I like the effect of the fog. Rendered in B&W, it looks like an old photo. 👍🏻👍🏻

MT

alvaraalto (42804) 2020-02-21 5:18

Hello Mariusz
I have special memories of this square in Copenhagen because I used it for a painting that is now in Lars' room.
Wonderful to see it in the black and white here again in the fog.
Beautiful moody impression.
Well done
Have a nice day, groet Rob

aliabazari (21139) 2020-03-01 22:26

Hi Mariusz
A beautiful shot of everyday life in this lovely place. You have recorded it well. The resolution and exposure are well done. I like the choice of black and white and the presence of people. Thanks for sharing

adramad (72524) 2020-03-10 12:52

Hi Mariusz.
A good composition of this great space in Copenhagen and the interesting buildings in the background shrouded in fog, people give us the ideal space, the B&W gives that timeless touch.
Sharpness, lighting, and the magnificent composition; they are all perfectly adjusted factors, in this interesting image.
Well done I like it.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

jmdias (114150) 2020-05-03 15:30

mariusz

nice to hear about you again.
very beautiful image. I liked the use of B&W and the use of the patterns in the ground with the beautiful faзades and people ahead, perfect.
my other site of photos (Photofolia) was extinct last month, maybe this one will have the same destiny. a pity.

take care

Hello Mariusz,
It's interesting to see this picture and to compare it with my old photo. I had better weather than you, but otherwise the main difference between 1966 and 2006 seems to be that the street had been nicely tiled. I missed to include the church tower, but the fog almost wiped it out in your photo. Maybe it is reassuring that not every place changes beyond recognition in 30 years.
Best regards,
Gert
