Hello John,
The photo is as nicely composed as if it had been taken recently. But it shows that this was taken with an early generation of digital cameras. The sharpness and colours are not quite up to what we are used to seeing from you now. Still, a very pleasant photo which has is own value in spite of the slightly lower quality.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello John,

This area had already experienced lots of changes before the World War, when it was devastated so completely!
I was interested to learn that a Cloth Hall had once existed here. The town near where I live had a huge Cloth Hall until the 1950's, when the Council, in their wisdom, decided to pull it down. It has been sadly missed ever since then!
You reveal a vast, open market place, surrounded by eclectic buildings, of a fine design. I presume that these are replicas of those destroyed in the war. The figures help to fill the open space and emphasise the openness of the area.
The clarity is not quite as good as you usually show but this is still an interesting view of the city and interesting, too, that it was taken with your first digital camera.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hallo John,
Een heel aantrekkelijk beeld van Ieper met zeer mooie kleuren. Het geel van de gevels compenseert het vele blauw.
De wolken zijn niet meteen klein maar ze zien er zo zacht uit.
De vier personen vooraan geven meer diepte aan het beeld.
Het plein ziet er echt reuzegroot uit. Ik was er nog nooit ... Dat moet eens veranderen.
Prachtige architectuurfoto!
Vele groeten, Paul

Hello John,

You have written a thoroughly fascinating and very informative note and shown us a beautiful photograph to illustrate it.

Unfortunately the image quality of your first digital camera (Canon S10) was nowhere nearly as good as your later ones but your compositional skills were excellent even in those days and here you chose the perfect viewpoint which has allowed you to come away with a beautifully composed and well-balanced photograph showing this square and its surrounding buildings to excellent effect.

The sharpness may not be perfect but the light and colours are excellent.

Wonderful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hi John
A great shot of passersby showing the context of the empty square, but ones eye is still drawn to the iconic buildings and really beautiful architecture. Lovely detail throughout with great colours. Excellent shot, Congrats
Best regards

Hallo John,
De foto biedt een schitterend gezicht op het stadsplein met alle statige gebouwen rondom. De kleuren zijn aantrekkelijk dankzij het zonlicht. De mensen in het midden zorgen voor wat leven in de voorgrond.

Hello John,
An image from your archives and the beginning of the digital era. Well composed with the little group in the foreground giving the scene depth and perspective. Technical quality is lacking compared to today's offerings but the image does not lack interest and is well worth seeing.

Bonjour, cher ami John,
C'est sympathique de revoir une prise de vue de 2004, ce qu'il y a de bien, c'est que le tissu urbain n'a pas changé. Point de tours venant chatouiller les nuages.
Merci !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello John,

A very good analogue film shot. Good colors, sharpness and exposure. The cathedral at left adds a nice focal point and the fg cyclists animate the scene. Tfs!
