Photographer’s Note

Several time ago, I saw in TE a splendid shot of Joel Berthonneau, of this sanctuary literally hung in the rocks, and of which I didn't know a word about. So impressed I was for the beauty of the image that I went there last weekend to discover by myself this incredible place.
More info about Rocamadour here

*******************

Hace algún tiempo, vi en TE una espectacular imagen de Joel Berthonneau, de éste santuario literalmente "colgado" en la roca, y del cual no tenía la menor idea de su existéncia. Tan impresionado me quedé por la belleza de éste lugar, que el pasado fín de semana fuí a descubrir por mi mismo las bellezas de éste lugar.

Hello Felip,

A very nice night'view. The framing is very well slected and the composition well balanced with the village in two parts. The dored light arise very well in the black of the night. An excellent photowork.
Best regards,
Roger

Hola Felip!
Excellent night picture with superb effects of lights and shadows, bright and dark areas! Architecture is the real highlight (and the location of those buildings), but the moment of capture was an outstanding choice as well!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Hello Felip,
I've seen Joel's image with the same subject, and I must say that is superb, exactly as this your one, a nocturnal view very interesting with a great managment of light and of exposure. Well done my dear friend.
Have a great week.
Best regards
Giorgio

Hola Felip,
A splendid night shot with the buildings on two different levels. A walk through the town at night seems like walking in a fairy tale.
Best regards, Paul

Hola Felip.
Una excelente vista nocturna de este lugar tan especial, lo conozco, por eso tu foto me trae muy buenos recuerdos, has logrado un gran POV con esta captura, la nitidez y detalles perfectos para una toma nocturna. Muy buen trabajo.

Hi Felip,
really a jaw-dropping view. I have never seen this place before.
Fantastic composition.
I would like it even more at the blue hour to have the lights better balanced, but while in travel you cannot always be in the right spot at the right time.
Beautiful work,
TFS,
M

Hi Felip,

Beuatiful night shot. I could fully understand that Joel Berthonneau's picture served as inspiration for you picture. I really enjoy that your picture is very diffent from his. A really fine composition and very nice golden colours. TFS and have a nice evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hello Felip,

In this shot with exquisite light management, you give us two disparate levels that define Rocamadour. Thanks for introducing us to the town, and augmenting the photo with an informative note.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hola Felip,
Fantástico! Visto de día ya se tiene la sensación de mirar hace a un escenario de filme de la Edad Média, pero de noche el efecto es aun más espectacular. Me hace muy curioso de visitarlo.
Un abrazo,
José

Hola Felip
Amazing place, amazing shot! Your exposure is perfect & that's what makes this night shot so very beautiful! Light is great on the fascinating building perched on the rock. Thanks for the link of Joel's picture, 'coz I read about the place from his note.
Best regards
