Piotrkowska Street, a photo from Lodzkie, West

Photographer's Note

Piotrkowska Street (Polish: ulica Piotrkowska) is the representative street of Lodz with a length of 4.2 km. It is one of the major tourist attractions of the city. It runs between the Liberty Square (Plac Wolnosci) and the Independence Square (Plac Niepodleglosci).
It has a function similar to a market square of old towns in other cities.
In the summer season, colorful restaurant gardens encourage to relax. Everyone can ride a rickshaw or take the trambus by the street and see the monuments of, for example, Trzej Fabrykanci (Three Manufacturers), Laweczka Tuwima (Tuwims Bench) or Pomnik Lodzian Przelomu Tysiacleci (Monument of Citizens of Lodz at the Turn of the Millennium) 12,859 blocks with engraved names. When visiting Pietryna (ul. Piotrkowska), one can look at the beautiful facades of the houses.

Hello Piotr,
Great view down the empty and rainy street at night. The perspective is great and you captured the many lights so well. The reflections in the wet pavement are very appealing too and I like the mix of warm and cold colours.

Hello Piotr,
I remember this street, but I didn't see i in this fantastic blue hour light, with all the lamps turned on and the light reflected in the wet street. In this case the emptiness is an advantage. It was probably natural, considering the rainy evening, and has created a strange and attractive atmosphere. You captured this very well.
Kind regards,
Gert

Cudowne odbicia w mokrej ulicy, po prostu piekne. Prawa strona natomiast, z ta twarza na plakacie, intrygujaca.
Czy dobrze zrozumialam, ze wybierasz sie na Litwe?
Pozdrawiam
Kasia

Hi Piotr,

I like the reflectionson the wet street and sidewalk. The length of the street is giving depth to the composition. The row of lampost is giving pertspective to the scene. Well done, have a nice day.

Hi Piotr
Excellent composition showing the whole depth as this arrangement looks just great as does with the exposure while the sheen on the wet road adds extra dimension to the row of sparkling lights. It's colourful, and a joy with this productive night shot and thks to good narrative to back up this shot, Congrats
Best regards

Good morning Piotr,
Wet road and pavement made a wonderful effect upon th escene. Indeed beautiful facades and archi.-design - but not one sole walks there in the rain.
Anyway, an excellent take taht I only assume at late evening hour.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Dobar rad i kompozicija, lepo pokazan deo grada i arhitektura, dobar kontrast i perspektiva, lepe boje, lepo uhvacen trenutak. Lepa ulica i upaljene lampe, lep refleks.

Bonjour Piotr,

Le plaisir d'une soirée chaude quand il pleut. On a la rue pour nous seulement. Tu as su profiter des reflets des lampadaires sur la chaussée, d'une parfaite ligne de fuite et du temps pour bien réaliser.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Piotr,

Who will believe that rain stops good photography after they have seen this!
It is a splendid photograph!
The viewpoint is very well chosen to create a superb sense of depth and perspective both from converging lines and diminishing features.
But, it is the artificial lights, with their stunning reflections on the wet pavements, that grab most attention!
It really is a most enjoyable and successful photograph.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

PaulVDV (34445) 2017-05-17 8:31

Hello Piotr,
What a strongly shining pavement.
The blue hour sky is well reflected on the wet street and sidewalks.
You were apparently the only one to defy the rain.
Excellent composition.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Piotr,

Marvellous reflections in the wet rain saturated street with superb sharpness and framing. Good colour and saturation and the diagonal axis adds dynamism. Tfs!

With regards from Luxembourg

batalay (41081) 2017-05-18 10:52

Hello Piotr,

The lights reflecting from the wet pavement, the orthogonal all converging at a vanishing point (a distant- point on the horizon line), as well as the colors collaborate to make this a very attractive street scene. The note is informative as always.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Czesc Piotr,
widze ze miales bardzo owcny spacer o blue hour po Piotrkowskiej.
Juz pewnie wspominalem ze nigdy nie bylem w Lodzi... i w tym roku pewnie znowu sie nie uda :(
Wspaniala praca, uwielbiam blue hour tylko ze teraz trzeba tak dlugo czekac az sie zciemni, poza tym nie mam u siebie miasta z prawdziwego zdarzenia -musialbym jechac z godzine w jakies ciekawe miejsce...
Bardzo mi sie podoba jak to zrobiles. Miejsce zapewne na zywo bardzo eleganckie ale przeciez nie ma w tym kadrze nic szczegolnego a jednak niesamowita gra swiatel owocuje wyjatkowa atmosfera. W szczegolnosci morke chodniki ktore dostarczaja polyskow, refleksow, to swietne gratka na blue hour -ale tez wtedy zwykle pada... Najlepszy jest taki moment kiedy bardzo padalo i jest mokro ale juz nie pada :)
Trudno jednak w taki moment utrafic :)
Doskonala praca, pokazujesz ze jestes mistrzem nie tylko krajobrazu ale rowniez fotografii miejskiej.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M

Hi Piotr
now this is a perfect looking scene taken in the rain, the long perspective lines, the depth, the lighting reflecting onto the street, the poster on the far right, wonderful idea that you executed so well. cheers

Hello Piotr,
This is a spectacular photo. I love everything about it: The POV, leading lines, reflections from the wet pavement, repeating patterns of the street lamps, razor sharpness, excellent light management. How did you manage to find such an empty street?
Regards,
MT
