Ingelmunster O III Photo

Photographer’s Note

Saturday afternoon I was for matters in Kortrijk, during my come back I saw this castle between the green environment, I took my camera I saw a very beautiful castle, it’s a burg castle with a lovely riverfront around the castle.
You can see the picture, I took this picture out of this angle for have great perspective again, later more about this castle

History from Wikipedia the free encyclopedia.

In the Middle Ages, Ingelmunster was, partly owing to its fortification, an important location in the castlery of Kortrijk (Courtrai) and the canton of Harelbeke. The village fiefdom came under the rule of the lords of Gistel after the House of Rode. It then became part of Burgundy and Cleves, and ultimately subject to the French throne.

The most famous royal resident of the village was Philip the Fair, King of France, who resided in the castle in 1297, five years before the Battle of the Golden Spurs. At that time, Philip was on his way to punish Bruges. The people of Bruges met him halfway with an offer of submission to his rule, on the condition that they be allowed to keep the relic of the Holy Blood. The French king accepted.

I hope you enjoy, thanks to all members for visit to my previous picture. I read different discussions, where I my distance.

sirugo (214) 2006-10-09 1:53

A fantastic photo with a great mirror effect, details and colors. I get a feeling of falling into the water.

greg64g (11193) 2006-10-09 2:00

hi John

Superb wide angle picture, the perspective is perfect.
superb colors and good exposure
cheers
greg

nwoehnl (120) 2006-10-09 2:01

Well, John, this is very good and I take my hat off to you. Good framing facing the old building sideways, and including the crisp reflections in a good way to amplify the elegance. The wide focal length enhances the perspective aspect in a nice way, and the brown/ochre color tones of the castle blend well into the autumnal greenery. Good shot.

rabani (9421) 2006-10-09 2:13

Hi John, I think I liked the reflection of the castle. It draws attention to the canal and the castle. As always the detail in the 5D is delicious. SO much detail that brings better visual value to this composition.
Regards
Bani

Kalesin (92) 2006-10-09 2:19

Hi John,
Superb photo,perfect POV,reflection in the water adds to the beauty. Well done, congratulations.

Floydian (30970) 2006-10-09 2:34

Goedemorgen John,
Ahhh, hiermee sla je mij en anderen die je vorige posting geen topprestatie vonden keihard mee om de oren. Hiermee bewijs je dat de 5D en die 16-35 wel degelijk in goede handen verkeren. Een zeer degelijke foto die uitblinkt in detail en scherpte.
Een mooie zachte doortekende lucht met een reflectie in het water die we zelden zien...schitterend..!!!
Groet, Henk

devimeuxbe (56280) 2006-10-09 3:25

Bonjour John
c'est une image très belle. Le grand angle donne un bel effet. Le reflet dans l'eau est très pur. La lumière est parfaite. C'est très bien cadré. Bref, du très beau travail .
Puis-je te demander conseil.
Je suis en train de voir de quelles optiques je m'équipe pour mon 5D. Je n'ai que le 17-40 pour le moment qui fonctionne bien.
Quelles sont les optiques qui te donnent satisfaction avec ton 5D ?
Connais tu le Canon 70-300 DO IS (ultracompact)
A bientot
Bertrand

sayan (2609) 2006-10-09 4:22

Hi John,
Beautiful composition. The calmness of the surroundings is wonderfully captured through your lens. The reflections are great.
Wonderful work,

Cette reflexion est presque irréelle, pas une ride sur l'eau un vrai miroir !
La composition est remarquable et les couleurs très naturelles.
Well done, bravo

Dag John,
mooi hoor! Wat bereik je toch een prachtige resultaten met je camera! Van dit kasteel had ik nooit eerder gehoord, zoals wel meerdere verborgen kastelen in Vlaanderen. Het wordt eens tijd dat ze dit patrimonium wat meer in de belangstelling brengen.
Niels

quetzal (3467) 2006-10-09 4:54

Bonjour John,
Magnifique prise de vue. La symétrie avec les reflets est excellente. Très jolie lumière baignat tout cet ensemble.

Paolo (40753) 2006-10-09 4:54

Hi John, what a wonderful view and relative reflection!
the light and the colours are fantastic, and the quality and the details really well catched.
excellent the POV and the general composition.
thanks, ciao

sam224 (5851) 2006-10-09 5:15

Beautiful reflections in this shot. The pond is really quiet and reflects well the building and the clouds. I love your composition with the castle surrounded by water and trees.
One of my favourites.

HOBO (5244) 2006-10-09 5:18

Hello John,
perfect dof with great sharpness. The reflection are really outstanding; even the sky looks better there...
Thanks for the note.
Did you apply some software against distorsion?
Regards
Knut

PixelTerror (86763) 2006-10-09 5:30

Dag John,
You got here a nice PoV and a lovely reflection in the water, as often in such views I prefer the reflected part where the tones are deeper, especially considering in the upper part the cloud is overexposed above the right building. In your RAW processing software you should have an option to show the overexposed areas (as well as the underexposed ones), it's a good idea to have this display activated anytime.
Have a nice day, groeten,
Jean-Yves

dkeus31 (26351) 2006-10-09 5:52

Hello John,
A very nice picture, strong composition and good colors!
Nice reflexion, well done!

Bonjour John

Marvellous reflections & well managed light contrasts. I like the angular profile of this imposing edifice. Tfs!

Hello John,

Beautiful picture. This castle is taken from an excellent angle. The foreground on the left is really well located and the reflection of the castle in the water is very clear.

Best regards, Laurent.

cunejo200 (7237) 2006-10-09 7:33

Awesome. Superb composition with excellent reflection, colors, and sharpness. So smooth and pleasing. Well done. Regards, Danilo

Beautiful picture with very soft ocre colours. The reflections are awesom with absolutely perfect light. Congratulations.

pierrefonds (26603) 2006-10-09 8:48

Hi John,

A good POV of the castle of Kortrijk the trees and their reflection in the water which is an asset to the photo. The photo is sharp and clear. It has a good composition, DOF and nice colors. Thanks for sharing.

Pierre

pasternak (13588) 2006-10-09 9:06

This is just excellent, John, I have never heard of this castle so thank you for the tip, and what a picture, I think the wide angle worked very well here, as it helped to create a comprehensive view including reflections and surrounding greenery. My compliments!

Cheers
Alexander

luisafonso (858) 2006-10-09 9:44

Amazing definition John! Technically, the picture is very good. Perfect, if I may say so. The reflection is so good and the simmetry achieved by it is really out of this world. Sorry for all the superlatives, but I can't find any flaw in front of me. Indeed a great exposure.

evanrizo (456) 2006-10-09 10:17

Wooooooooh, majestic,wonderful, great, excellent, perfect photo. What a reflection! What a lightness, what nice colors.
Thanks John for share it.

pboehringer (770) 2006-10-09 10:31

Dear John, you're really make me think that Belgium is the most beautiful place on earth. This place and your stupend POV and composition and finally the light conditions make me think it at least.
There seems to be some artifact in the lowest left part of the castle's reflections. What is it?
Best Regards, Peter

JCG (25733) 2006-10-09 11:22

Hi John,

This reflection in water is a pure wonder, I like very much. This castle has a superb architecture and the angle of sight to present us it's splendid. The colors, the light, the framing, all is perfect. An admirable work,
cheer.

Best regards,

Jean-Charles

PLD_images (7141) 2006-10-09 11:39

Hello John,

Wonderfull shot here. I really love the reflections in the water. It gives amazing composition and makes the castle come out even more. You have positionned yourself in just the perfect place for this image. Really well done.

Have a good week - Paul

Mikos (4324) 2006-10-09 12:11

Hi John

wow, you don`t stop surprising me, your pictures are very very close to be perfect, excellent colours, pov, composition, they seem to be sometimes, alive, instead of a picture.
My good, I won`t dare to post images on Belgium here on TE, your level is the highest!!!!

Take care

Miguel

oochappan (22032) 2006-10-09 12:23

Zeer indrukwekkend deze wide met een goede POV op de hoek van het kasteel en een zuivere reflectie in het water. Frontplan in de linker beneden hoek had een ietsje gecontrastreerder gekund, maar dat is enkel een detail, doet niets of aan dit prachtig shot, de wolken zijn mooi gradueel licht in contrast to het dak, goed gezien.

leo61 (43668) 2006-10-09 12:29

Hi John!
The perfect composition and quality.
The reflections of the castle are wonderful,so are the overall colors and the sharpness is excellent,so many good details.GREAT WORK!!
Regards,Leo

superpau (1460) 2006-10-09 12:44

Hi John, first time that I see some of your photos... just amazing, the pov and the reflection, the clear sky, the castle... what else can i say?
Just perfect!
Saludos, Paula.

hoorge (1434) 2006-10-09 14:22

John,
First of all your note is excellent. Your picture is of a painting quality. Great composition, pov, dof, brightness, colors, and reflection.
Well done.

AmiBe (6042) 2006-10-09 15:36

Hi John,
excellent wide-angle shot, one more.
Excellent perspective and reflection, the castle is well emphasized in this green environment.
Well done

t0mmm1 (5434) 2006-10-09 15:41

Hi John,
like I wrote you some weeks ago, I'll surely come to Belgium some day... it's absolutelly wonderful and colourful country. But why should I go there if you make better pictures than I do... ;)))) Yes, this is absolutelly wonderful!!!
Have a nice day,
Tomi

PS: I'll go to travel the Belgium, but I will make prints of your pictures... this is the only solution ;)))))))

kermit350 (8988) 2006-10-09 15:47

Bonjour John, il est magnifique ce château tu ne l‘aurai pas trouvé qu‘il faudrait l‘inventer, en plus tu nous gratifie d‘un double reflet consécutif à une exposition encore une fois idéales, et je ressens comme une ambiance du peut-être au voile atmosphérique, dans tous les cas c’est fort bien fait, amicalement

Philippe (11787) 2006-10-09 16:03

Dag, John. Mooie reflecties van het kasteel in het water. De planten op de voorgrond geven diepte aan het beeld. Goed perspectief dank zij de oever.

Davidwh (3654) 2006-10-09 16:41

Hi John,
Quite a dramatic image in my opinion.The castle really seems to stand out of the image and it is difficult to see where the true building ends and the reflection begins.A real picture postcard with traits of an oil painting.Again well done...keep well my friend.
Regards, David

PJE (19483) 2006-10-10 0:35

Excellent capture John. I think its wonderful how you used the f18 to ensure good detail from the closest branch on the lower left to the distant background. Very nice indeed...and a pleasure to view!

papagolf21 (56697) 2006-10-10 3:46

Bonjour, mon ami John,
Il ne suffit pas d'un bon sujet, encore faut-il savoir l'exploiter !
Ici, tout est bon, le cadrage, les couleurs, la subtilité de la lumière, c'est parfait. Comment passer après une telle image ?
Excellent !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Bonjour John,

Encore une vue excellente renforcée par l'utilisation du grand angle. Les reflets sont superbes. Et les couleurs naturelles. Superbe.
Amitiés
Jean-Marie

balatrek (7419) 2006-10-10 8:11

Hola Jhon,

Me gusta la composición de esta imagen, el reflejo es espectacular y crea un efecto simétrico muy interesante, es un lugar muy bello y lo has captado de maravilla, sigo viendo que a algunos colores les falta intensidad, o tienen colores extraños, es como si tuviesen un velo gris, a mí me pasó algo parecido y fue culpa de mi monitor, solo es un comentario de ayuda, considero que esta fotografia es muy buena a pesar de lo que te he comentado.

Saludos amigo

José

Dag John,

dit is een prachtige foto ! Haarscherp, net alsof ik op de plaats zelf ben. Zo te zien heb je hiervoor al de nodige appreciatie gekregen, en niet onterecht. Ik vind deze één van je beste der laaste weken, zeker weten.

groeten,

Luc.

etiennejr (1014) 2006-10-10 19:41

Dag John,
Deze is een heel stuk beter dan je vorige! Toch vind ik hem wel soft. The framing is goed, je hoge f-waarde geeft het goede diepte in de foto. De lucht helpt je die dag en de weerspiegeling is geweldig. Mooie plaat!
Etienne
(PS: in de linker bovenhoek is wat sensordust te zien, even laten schoonmaken, rond de 25 euro)

bertolucci (11992) 2006-10-11 3:03

Goedemorgen John, prachtig licht en reflecties hier. Ze maken dat dat dit fraaie oude kasteel een enorme statigheid krijgt. De gekozen hoek is perfect maar dat kunnen we natuurlijk aan u overlaten. En er zijn zeer veel natuurlijke en architectonische details waar we van kunnen genieten. Erg goed werk!
Een fijne dag toegewenst uit een vrijwel onbewolkt Rotterdam bij 17 graden!

Hi John,
Well composed and seen from an ideal perspective. This has all the hallmarks of a watercolour painting. The details of the structure are seen with great clarity and the exposure level is just right. Well done.
John

arth (1454) 2006-10-11 13:36

Het opvallende hier John is het geweldig mooi perspectief en met de reflectie er bij nog indrukwekkender,ik ga om de duur ook nog verliefd worden op een dergelijke optiek ,voor dit soort werk bijna onmisbaar .Het is in ieder geval een zeer mooie foto.

prezntime (3945) 2006-10-11 23:39

Just plain beautiful.
I really don't know what to say. I like the balance between the reflection and the building...The perspective creates a wonderful angle betweent he closer portion and the rear. Excellent satruration of colors. The small red boat at the front of the building is a very nice interest point.
Regards,
Chris.

Bonsoir John
Un excellent point de vue sur le château et un bon réfléchissement sur l'eau.
La composition a une très bonne profondeur et j'aimerai bie entrer dans ce décor somptueux.

Gdouble (5245) 2006-10-12 15:16

Dag John,
Fabtastische reflectie. Deze foto is wat mij betreft de perfectie. Ik vind de compositie practig met de plantjes in de voorgrond en bomen langs iedere kant van het kasteel.

Gorgeous composition with magnificent reflections colors and light.
Very good work.I love it.
Best wishes. Uğur

natwald (0) 2006-10-13 5:03

This Focal Length is good for arty pictures, but for a formal one like this why don't you try one at about 18-22mm to take the squashed look out?

It also looks like you've reduced the contrast apart from the building.

ndb1958 (9248) 2006-10-13 13:41

Hi John,
a great compsition and amazing POV. I love these deep reflections on the surface of the lake. Beautiful colours and good lightning and a peaceful and silent atmosphere.
Nino

jmdaoudal (82) 2006-10-14 4:55

No doubt, all is mesured here in DOF and framing and the castle is detailed and the "star" of the composition.
A great quality for a great photo

A very good composition from an excellent POV.
The colors are sharp and well saturated.
The control of the light is good
The reflexion is perfect and a great asset to this photo.
My only difficulty resides with the sky,I do not feel comfortable with it,as it is underpar with the rest of the picture,a loss of details,maybe a little bit overexpose.I believe you re facing the sun here to explain this.If it is,you did a very good job at well esposing whAT is important,the castle.
Have a good day
Charles

Hi John!
As I can see now, it will take me some time to go through your terrific gallery. OK, I have that time :)

Perfect clear reflexion, good wide-angle perspective, fantastic definition. Your notes about the picture, and technical details are very useful. TFS!
Seb

Splendid perspective created in this composition. The place is nice, but here looks even more interesting because the photo by itseld adds a lot of interest.
Well done.

I've seen some of your photos, the best of you, as you've wrote..., I can't understand, why the best, all of you're images are the best...:)I have a friend that does it you're way, this low contrast colors, that gives a kind of calm to an image, that fits just the best...

Hallo John,
Ik weet dit kasteel zeer goed staan, midden van de een groene omgeving waar wandelen werkelijk een must is, maar hoe u dit kasteel aan ons laat zien is wel buitenen gewoon, de weerspiegelingen met de wolken maakt alles nog indrukwekkender, prachtig werk, ik moet meer kijken op TE!
Gegroet,Emma

Hi John.
Your work on reflection and perspective is impressive on this shot. The ligh seems a bit poor, but it doesn't influence the final result which appears really beautiful and natural.
Thanks for sharing!

Hello John,
j'avais passé celle-là moi.
Je m'en veux car elle est fantastique.
Une prise au grand angle était judicieuse.
Je crois que toutes les conditions étaient rassemblées pour faire ce joyau.
Tu n'as pas raté l'occasion.

Very best regards.

Bonsoir John,
J'ai pris beaucoup de retard sur TE. Je découvre cette superbe prise de vue qui est notée comme elle le mérite.
Le miroir est parfait avec cette eau tranquille. Les couleurs sont un peu pâles à mon avis.
Merci mon Ami pour tes explications.

apache (1426) 2006-12-08 6:12

sebinho342 (18776) 2007-01-16 8:14

Hi John, here i go on the monster picture, even the title is monster ... I can't say how many times i watched this picture, for sure a looot of times ;)
All in it is good, great use and best use of a wide angle upon a 5D, settings impressive as i look carefully to them, i guess some PP, composition is so precise, reflexion is marvelous, and of course the main subject of picutre is a treasure.
Hats off to you, this one was in my tiercé for the best picture in 2006.

daddo (11519) 2007-01-27 21:21

Greetings John. A most impressive building made even more imposing thanks to your well chosen PoV which doubles the presence of the castle because of the clear reflection and the angle at which it was photographed. Clever manipulation.The bridge and its reflection, the lawn and the row of bushes on the left, plus the sweep of the sky, all combine to make this work exceptional. My compliments. Klaudio.

batalay (21166) 2007-01-29 20:13

Hello John,

Again, at the end of the que, I join the chorus of awe struck viewers. What a magnificent architectural shot, and display of "two-point perspective." I will do a workshop, not to try to improve on perfection, but to illustrate how two-point perspective appears. One-point perspective was discovered in the Renaissance of 1425. Your photo of the daily bicycle ride over the canal is an example (I critiqued it a few days ago). Two point perspective was understood by Leonardo 50 years later. During the 17th century the great Dutch and Flemish painters used it liberally.

Warm regards, John,
Bulent

branley (3681) 2007-02-12 9:52

Hi John,

The more I browse through your extensive and impressive gallery the more I realise that (a) I have a long way to go master the technical aspects of photography and (b) I am spoiled for choice. I chose this because I love old buildings and this is so well composed with the strip of land running down the left hand side to the ivy clad bridge. The colours are first class, the light is perfect and the reflections are simply stunning. A superb capture my friend, superb!

Regards

Stephen

MarieAnge (524) 2007-03-05 10:19

Hi John,

I don't specifically like shots of architecture. But... what a great POV !... Excellent. And the nice contrast between the hot color of the stone and the cold green of the trees is just... well ! Congratulations.

For this one, I am impressed by the depths and colors but what struck me is that Esher like structure sensation generated by the reflections. Excellent composition, but you know that already :-)
Thanks for sharing,

wonderfull composition! not only with a beautifull reflection ins the castle moat, but you've also got a nice wide shot of this building. i've seen too many people zoom in way too close on the building, not realizing that showing the surroundings can enhance the picture tremendously.

Hello John,
You European photographers always do such an outstanding job with architectural images. This is a first-class photograph with fabulous composition and perspective. What I like the most about your image is the plant in the immediate foreground on the left. This enhances your 3D effect even more and makes me feel that I can walk right into the frame. Marvelous!

I have seen this photo in your intro, and I could not have refused to value it since it is deserved.
It is excellent, I do'nt know if I like more the real image or the reflected one, but the truth is that this castle is magnificent and has a great aesthetic beauty, perfectly caught in your setting.
The quality of the image and of the colors is very high, as usual in your great work.
Friendly regards,

pticaruh (276) 2008-09-17 8:20

Hello, John

Excellent place for the shot, moreover that it had revealed more information on the "two-point perspective" through the workshop. Amazing colours, and interesting detail is that small boat, docked to the back-door. What a nice way to get in the castle, when and if necessary...

Hi John,
first of all, thank you very much for visiting my shot. Really appreciate your critique. i felt so excited to have you seen my shot. Why? The 77K points is beyond my thought and it must be from a man of great skills.
From this shot, the evidence is very clear indeed.
the sharpness, the perspective and the reflection, superbs clarity and excellent rich and dense colour make this castle shot a very brilliant one.
great presentation and superbs composition.
Nice knowing you and I hope you do critique mine as i will come to learn from your brilliant shots.

Regards,

There are gorgeous castles in Belgium. Through a photography you well advertise beauty of your country.
Good job!
