The door of Knowledge, a photo from Sodermanland, Svealand

Photographer's Note

You would like to know more ?

Just open that door, and you'll have access to one of the best educations in Europe. Welcome to KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm.

KTH has its origins in 1827, when the industrialization was bigger and bigger in Sweden. Today, the institute has 20,000 full time students, preparing Architecture, MSc, BSc, or postgraduates and doctorals. And it has of course all the convenient facilities for a high standard education.

This is one of the doors at KTH's main campus. It was built in the early 20th century in the northern part of the city, with a national park behind it.

All this reminds me that there are some exams to prepare for next week ....

Excellent, wao, nice shot, lighting and colours are great. It seems a stage of a video game.
Good Job.

Excellent lighting and interesting POV. The debris/stones/gravel on the ground could be a little sharper, but that is minor. Warm ambience throughout.

Very dramatic and mysterious photo Youssef. It feels like a secret place. Excellent photo. Good luck with your exams.

Nice shot Youssef, I like the dim lighting, it look great, it look a bit mysterious, but focus is a bit soft, still... overall, well done.

Belle image nocturne, je pensais d'abord qu'il s'agissait d'un vieux château inquiétant et non d'une école Royale de Technologie !
Belle lumičre, bonne exposition et bonne composition.

Hello Youssef
j'aime bien cette ambiance un peu étrange, on s'attend ŕ trouver quelqu'un accolé au mur. Par contre il y a une sorte de flou au niveau du plafond, prčs de la lampe ... post process ou juste petit flou de bougé.
Joli cadrage, et travail soigné.
Un gros M..... pour la semaine prochaine (et ne dis pas merci, cela ne porte pas chance !)
amicalement, Hugues
PS: j'ai lu ton profil, et ce n'est pas l'appareil qui fait la photo mais le gars situé derričre !

Hi Youssef,
Looks like a film set to me. Very special atmosphere.

Harry Potter! sorry can't help myself, that's what it reminds me of. The door has a certain charm alright, good job with the lightings.

V3_Intruder (329) 2005-03-16 10:45

Bel éclairage!
J'aime bien l'ambiance et le mystčre qu'apporte cette composition. Trčs bon choix d'exposition car l'éclairage est excellent.
Trčs bien fait!
Amicalement,
Stef.

Hi Youssef,

Superb, the light is just right for showing us the details of the door.

keribar (43841) 2005-03-30 23:13

This is a very good picture, that even most experienced photographers will appreciate.. Good light good perspectivei and a mystic atmosphere. The snow also adds some pepper and salt. Well done Youssef and welcome to TE.

Bonjour Youssef,

J'aime beaucoup le mystere que degage cette photo, la lumiere rouge, les voutes.
Ca donne envie de pousser cette porte et de voir ce qui se passe derriere !...

Beautiful & very moody image with a clever composition. It looks like a decor-set for some Fairy Tale...

Un savant mélange de tons froids des pavés et des murs en pierre avec la chaleur rouge et jaune des lampes. Beaucoup d'atmosphčre...

kent_s (1911) 2005-04-29 4:38

Very dramatic shot of the door to KTH. It looks like it was taken from Q's secret entrence to his lab.

Well done Youssef

dimitrisT (928) 2005-05-06 8:30

I like this one a lot! The light is excellent and the compo perfect!

jpages (1670) 2005-05-07 14:30

Hi Youssef, I have made a walk by your photos, and I lke tis for its difficult light and the great result you achieved. The composition is pefect, having the door not centered and very clear thanks to its little light. it seems the scene of the crime of one Alfred Hitchcock movie... Who will be the victim...?
Best regards
PS: I am very glad that a young Moroccan criticizes my moroccan photos. Thanks for looking them.

yannick (1471) 2005-05-12 14:12

J'aime beaucoup cette photo. Il s'en dégage une impression de mystčre, renforcé par la neige, et l'éclairage tamisé. Elle est vraiment trčs réussie.
Bravo,
Yannick

cobraphil8 (84) 2005-06-24 10:20

Superbe photo d'ambiance, les murs sont trčs beaux au niveau du rendu des pierres.
J'aime beaucoup les halos de lumičre qui se dégagent de la lampe.
Bravo & bon WE

You have handled the low lighting in this image very well creating a nice atmosphere.

Hola Youssef. Una foto muy buena, me recuerda a alguna escena de película. Cuando el caballero llega a una posada o similar :) Muy buena composición y una iluminación fantástica. Gran trabajo.

Albrecht (11283) 2005-09-02 5:29

Hi Youssef
Ideed like in a movie: Harry Potter or something like that. Great shot and wonderful atmosphere and colours and compo.
Take care, -Albrecht-

Photograph2u (0) 2005-09-04 12:06

Beautiful composition, colour and mysterious. This is very well done, Youssef. The light enhances the architecture details.

Very well done. Have a great day. Yan

rajhema (1873) 2005-09-29 20:01

Whoa! Looks like an entrance from the movie HarryPotter. Good one.

Bonjour Youssef
I would have prefer as a title: "After hours tavern"!!, because on this mysterious picture of the Institute one can expect to see shadows coming in and out. Maybe I have too much imagination!
Great mood. Thanks

Hi Youssef, Very good composition with interesting lighting and snow on the ground. Well taken to give this perspective. Murray.
