Natural light, a photo from Naples, Campania

Photographer's Note

The sunset throught the glasses of the Gallery Umberto I in Naples, one of the nicer cities in Italy. Arquitecture looking for one of the cleanest an brighter lights in the world, the one of the Mediterranean sea. I dont know why but, at least, this is my perception. Take care.

I'm not very experienced with lights from the Mediterranean area (yes, shame on me) but when you speak of "clean light", I think of what I have seen in the north of Norway. Such a pure light, it looks unspoiled. You should check it sometimes, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
In your picture what I mostly feel is warmth, richness. Richness of the architecture and warmth of the sun which I'm sure is shining through this beautiful glass. It looks amazing.

What a spectacular place and picture. Yes indeed, the light is perfect and the colours very beautiful. The definition on the ceiling is magnificent. Certainly this is a place to keep in mind for a future visit. Well done.

Hola Miguel,

De nuevo aquí, pero no puedo dejar pasar esta. ¡Qué bien has visto el lugar! Muestras un poco de todo, la arquitectura, la bóveda acristalada, el ángel a modo de Victoria alada, o viceversa... y ¡la luz! La luz es el secreto, del edificio y de la foto, ¡y del ojo que ve y dispara! Realmente hermosa. Un beso.

Angel.

As you say, the light makes this, also nice compo, with the lines all coming together towards the top left corner.

I like this a lot! The lighting is great, coming at an angle so it shows all of the details, but softly. I like the pattern of the windows in the ceiling, especially the part on the left 1/3 of the frame - very mesmerizing. Well done!

Beautiful shot Miguel, composition, subject, sharpness and light are all excellent. The flowers at the corner are intriguing - are they tended, or did they just grow naturally up there?
Nice work

¡Ah, la luz!
¿Qué hay mejor que la luz natural?
Las grandes ciudades pierden su iluminación natural y se ven castigadas por unas iluminaciones artificiales que pretender tener un mal llamado gusto estético. A modo de prueba decir que en ciudades como Barcelona, el cielo por la noche es de color naranja. Parece enfermo.
Como la luz natural, por tanto, no hay nada.

La luz da vida, profundidad, llena todos los rincones (incluso las sombras). La luz es necesaria.
Y aquí lo podemos ver, sin duda.

Un saludo.

(este alegato acerca de la luz del cielo de Barna es indicativo de lo bien que me ha sentado la vuelta a la ciudad condal)

Hola Miguel,
quite a graphical one, looks like art deco style end of the 19th century. The way how the last sun rays brighten up the upper parts gives a soft light.

Hola Miguel,
muy bonito punto de vista. De veras me gusta la luz que hecha el sol al interior de galeria. Casi parece que las ventanas estan bordadas de oro. Lastima que el angel arriba en los arcos quedo tan oscuro.
Mira si te gusta el pequeño cambio que hice en el WS.
Saludos

Hi Miguel - I agree the buildings design is elegant and tasteful, the golden light here does it justice, the angel and the star of david make an interesting mix of religious patterns.

Hola Miguel
