brilliant! die umsetzung dieser idee muß sehr aufwendig gewesen sein.

Christoph Hessel Hi Thomas, zunächst einmal vielen Dank!! Nein war es eigentlich gar nicht. Wir sind zu einem shooting auf einen verlassenen Bahnhof gegangen, wo alte Züge und Bahnen restauriert werden. Die Arbeiter dort waren total hilfsbereit uns Zugänge zu erlaugen. Hier habe ich einen Reflektor eingesetzt um die Dynamik des Lichts besser auffangen zu können. Ganz lieben Dank!

thomas r. grabuschnigg hallo christoph, danke für deine informationen - in verbindung mit deinem genialen bild "departure" ergibt sich tolles "kopfkino".

eine banale szene und doch erzählt das bild eine geschichte, die man gern verfolgen möchte.... :o))

Christoph Hessel GAnz lieben Dank Angelika für Deinen Kommentar, es freut mich, dass die Stimmung als positiv herüberkommt....

Andrei Baciu 1 month ago

Great!!

Angelika Himburg schon für mich positiv...der junge mann scheint in ein neues leben zu wollen..vieleicht zu seiner liebsten in die stadt...er scheint ja sehr ländlicher herkunft ...
oder es ist eine erinnerung an seine jugend...wer weiß was hinter der geschichte des bildes steckt......:))))

Angelika Himburg p.s. bin ein bissel verrutscht..das sollte die antwort auf deinen kommentar sein Christoph.. :o))))

Christoph Hessel Many thanks Andrei, highly appreciated

Christoph Hessel Thanks a lot Jacob!
Christoph

Andre du Plessis 9 months ago

Exquisite black and white processing Christoph! What on earth did you do? So gentle!! Apart from that your subject matter is so suited for this manner of editing and working your image. I like the central composition, the wood on the left, and that haziness over the window closes the door ever so softly on the surrounds, yet allows enough to filter in to lend more meaning to this.

Christoph Hessel You cannot imagine how glad I am about this wonderfful comment Andre. I converted with NIK Silver Efex in statndard setting, but added a layer of duotone with low opacity adding warmth here. Thank You very much!
Christoph

Sergio De Rosa I completely agree with this comment. I think that Chris is peaking at his best in looking for 'simple' scene.

Christoph Hessel Many thanks Sergio, :-)

Charlie Packard 9 months ago

I guessed right this time Christoph :)
I do like the old fashioned setting, the lack of clutter, the classic tight space around a railway carriage table. The composition feels beautifully balanced...very skilled work !

Nicolas Marino 9 months ago

exquisite! that's the right word for this one, Chris. Is it natural light only?

Christoph Hessel Hi Nic, many thanks, yes, it is. No flash, not much postprocessing. It is an old train built in the 30th of last century. The window diffused the light in a wonderful way. I dodged Arnes right side of face and did a duotone layer with low opacity. thats it here.
