Troyes facades, a photo from Champagne-Ardenne, North

Photographer's Note

I come back after a short break and with a stock photo of Troyes, made during a stay (somewhat imposed!) 15 days.
Rue Emile Zola is mainly composed of a row of colorful half-timbered houses dating from the sixteenth century. These buildings were rebuilt after the devastating fire that broke out in the heart of the medieval city, destroying the main area of the city in 1524. Although there are only very few buildings from medieval times, this route has retained this historical aspect and shows a glimpse of what was common in the time of the Champagne Fairs.

Bonjour Jean-Jacques,

C'est une bonne idιe d'avoir pris cette photo ΰ la tombιe de la nuit : tu as bιnιficiι de l'heure bleue et de vitrines des commerces ιteintes (sauf une, dommage), ce qui permet de se focaliser sur les faηades ΰ colombages.

Hello Jean Jacques! Superb perspective, superb diagonal composition. Wonderful blue hour. Amazing colors. Good cut, capture, exposure and fine frame. Well done!

tyro (30513) 2015-08-07 4:04

Bonjour Jean Jacques,

Ah, ha, I wonder who was responsible for "imposing" this 15 day stay? Whoever she was, your stay was certainly worthwhile, particularly if you managed glorious photographs like this one!

This is a stunning "blue hour" shot in which the delicate mixture of natural and warm artificial light brings the facades of these lovely half-timbered buildings to life with wonderfully rich colours. I love how the cool blue reflections of the sky in the windows contrasts so beautifully with the warm colours of the buildings themselves.

You have chosen the time to take this photograph perfectly, your strong diagonal composition is very effective, the light and colours are glorious and the details and sharpness are exquisite.

An interesting note too.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hello Jean Jacques,
I wondered where you had been - good to see you back. These old half-timbered buildings look very imposing in the artificial lighting. The blue sky is perfect and the diagonal perspective is super.
Kind Regards, Ann

williewhistler (16606) 2015-08-07 11:08

Hello Jean Jacques,
the warm glowing colours of the half timbered buildings are in perfect contrast to the blue hour sky producing a spectacular photograph,technically top quality work.
Best regards Les.

Highmountains (2674) 2015-08-07 11:38

These colourful half-timbre facades are always so photogenic. This photograph is even more so because of the wonderful depth and the optimal light.
The sharpness and clarity is beautiful. The perspective is so very elegant. I believe, the blue sky plays an important contrast in highlighting the wonderfully lit facades.
Thanks for sharing, Jean.

macjake (98456) 2015-08-07 12:37

Hi JJ
great to have you back after you're 'retreat' :)

we often see these timber homes, but this may be the first time I can recall seeing them in the blue hour.

really like the blue light striking the windows, and of course the homes and their facades are so charming.

so families live in them? and below are shops/stores?
or do people rent out individual rooms in these houses?
or perhaps they're used for business?

nice to see you back
cheers
craig

Hi Jean!
It's not everyday that we see this houses in the blue hour. The street is beautiful and you framed it on the best moment of the day, I believe. The houses are very beautiful all illuminated. Very good shot, with a very good exposure!

delpeoples (60342) 2015-08-15 23:24

Bonjour cher JJ

A superb Blue Hour photo of this enchanting town. The character of the architecture is palpable and you have managed the quite difficult lighting conditions flawlessly.
