Castle Neu-Bechburg Photo

Photographer’s Note

Castle Neu-Bechburg built in the beginning of the 13th century by Freiherrn von Bechburg. It's a beautiful castle at the feet of the Jura mountains. I shot this picture just a few minutes before a thunderstorm cross the hills.

Hallo Achim,
Very interesting dramatic view of the castle. The menacing thunderstorm clouds enhance the feeling of a 13th century view.

Hello Achim,
A good composition of this interesting and imposing castle. I fine the colours slightly washed out but I very much like the detail in that wonderful sky. Very good sharpness.

Hi Achim,
Impressive castle from part of Switzerland I'm less familiar with. Good framing. I think exposure is a bit darkish, looking at the wall in sunshine. But these tones are optimal for showing those clouds that look almost solid and telling about storm coming.

Hello Achim,

I like much this explosion of clouds which emphasizes this castle marvelously at the shelters on its hill !!! A beautiful contruction of the image which I find balanced well with this vegetable part on the right. An interesting photograph and pleasant to look at, thank you Achim.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

Hallo Achim,
eine schöne mittelalterliche Burg in einem spannenden Moment aufgenommen. Die letzten Minuten vor dem Sturm haben oft merkwürdige Lichter, die zusammen mit den dramatischen Wolken zu einem interessanten visuellen Erlebnis führen. (Das nicht visuelle Erlebnis, d.h. den Regen kann ich mir vorstellen, öfters erlebt in der Schweiz als angenehm.)
Viele Grüße
Laszlo
P.S.: Eine gebastelte Version sende ich Dir im WS, hoffentlich wir sie Dir gefallen.

Bonjour Achim.
Tu étais là au bon moment, juste avant l'orage, aussi tu as eu un ciel extraordinaire au dessus de cette forteresse.
Excellent !
