Hi Humayun,
Once again, all absolutely magnificent!
Light pollution aside for one moment, I guess one theme coming through
as well is how professionally lit some of these structures are. I also thought
that the other day looking at Rocket Boy's most recent Sydney Opera House
shot, that is, that outdoor lighting specialists have gone to considerable
lengths to get the lighting uniform and aesthetically pleasing.
As you know, cinematographers on big production movie sets and some
professional still photographers go to extraordinary lengths to light some
external scenes, often requiring days of preparation and obviously considerable
expense.
I guess the 'in-situ' professional lighting installations for some of the world's more
architecturally significant structures is as close as the rest of
us get to the 'big budget' lighting experience.
Once again, these outdoor night shots of yours have done a stupendous job
of showcasing the opulence and magnificence of these European structures.
If they were on the postcard rack next to the castle, they would sell like hot cakes!
Best Regards
Gary
