Playing with the sun at Oslo Opera
I’ve posted several photos of the Oslo Opera House earlier, but none of them in sunlight like these. Went down to the Opera house in Oslo last night to take some photos, all of these are shot between 20:00 – 21:00 in the evening.
Some rays of sun breaks through the clouds and illuminates this building vis-a-vis Oslo Opera
Sun, city & sea reflections.
City side of the opera house

Thanks. It’s the city reflecting in a tilted glass surface inside the opera.

Very clever of you to capture it.

That’s pretty unique!

I meant the last one!

Thanks Jude. In the last shot I HDR-merged 3 photos and lowered the brightness of the marble. On the two first photos I didn’t change anything.

Awesome! Love the reflections!

Thanks Madhu

The reflections are simply poetic. The second photo is particularly stunning because it takes a moment to see why the city is in reflection. Bravo.

WOW! Excellent shots, especially the first one! That’s amazing! Very intriguing to me.

I’m glad you like it Inge, because the other two photos had already received some likes. Now the first photo can join the club.

The first one has a gentle play of light while the dramatic abstraction of light and reflection in the later shots play with our sense of orientation. Beautiful shots Cardinal!

Thank you very much Patti. It had been a cloudy and rainy day, but it started to clear up during the afternoon, so I went out with the camera to try to capture some of the gentle lighting. My plan was to capture the sunset, but the sun sets very late these days and I had to go to work the next morning, so I had to return home before sunset…

I also like the first one, especially, because of that burst of light on the building and the dark clouds in the distance–it tells a story.

Thanks thepetalpusher.
I just realized now that my description on the first photo is actually not accurate.
I wrote: “Some rays of sun breaks through the clouds and illuminates this building vis-a-vis Oslo Opera”, but the correct description would be:
