apparition, a photo from Geneva, West

Photographer's Note

les yeux de la nuit, annually program of geneva, where some artists put light instalations in several places in geneva. I saw this girl was just standing there still for a few seconds, maybe feeling like in another world (as I felt first time see this), or she might just apparated from another world :)

lots of photographers, everywhere, it's not a surprised to see a fellow TE there :D. I took this just 5 minutes before I met bibi .

have a nice sunday :)

Hi (again) Cessy, ;o)
Nice one! I really like the way the lights seem to be all over this girl. You perfectly managed to capture to starry effect on this bridge. It was nice meeting you and your husband.
Have a nice Sunday.
Bibi

Hi Cessy.
Good and fun photo. The moment and the composition are nice and the lights look very interesting for the photo.
Of course, the girl adds a lot of interest.

Regards.

Like walking among the stars! I like the idea of looking out of the contruction and also out of the frame, which works very well here, because it makes us wonder what shie is looking at. Excellent!

What a great photo. The lights look like stars in the sky.

Hi cessy

I like the low pov & repetition of the myriad of fairy lights. Good color & sharpness. Bagus sekali & tfs!

Hi Cessy,

She can fly, she's happy.
I like the low POV also.
Well done

Hey Cessy. Beautiful photo with the girl underneath the curtain of lights; a festive and even slightly outworldish mood evoked by this scene. Of course also a nice perspective effect resulting from the way in which the illuminated corridor draws the viewer's eye towards the back, where more visitors are seen. Nice shot.

Spectacle assez féérique. J'aime beaucoup cet effet de multiples points blancs qui se resserent dans le fond.
Belle composition
Amitiés

Wonderful long time exposure allowing to have lights where you would not expect it. I mean over the girl. My first impression was you did some PS on it and finally I understood the technique behind it. Genious!
Cheers, Peter

Karina, where exactly is this beauty? Street name or something? :)
We'll be in Geneva on the 3rd of November, and I hope I'll be able to find this place :)

Hi Cessy,
I must be lacking in imagination, because I much prefer this shot to the more popular one following...The hues and tones are great, the ghost effect impressive, and there is wonderful depth here, with the eye progressing through a tunnel to the doorway, pausing to take in the gathered people, and then heading through and onward to the figure walking toward us and the distant wall behind. I enjoy this photo very much. Just superb.
John
