Like in a film: The Pictures of the Week (KW 15)

Hard contrasts, exciting perspective, like from another time: In this week’s photos, photographer camera66 shows a special snapshot of St. Mark’s Square in Venice. People crowd close together and seem to literally flood the square.

The black and white look reminds a commentator in the gallery of a film by the Italian neorealists. And God knows: The scene could easily have come from a Fellini work, but it was apparently recorded during the Carnival two years ago. The staging in black and white, which blurs the contours between the people, paired with the slight bird’s eye view, however, radiates less cheerfulness than claustrophobic narrowness.

All pictures of the day of this week can be found in our photo gallery.

Spring fresh: Cyril Gosselin opened the picture week on c’t photography online with his photo “Weather change”. It was created in the Olympic Park in Munich. Gosselin writes to us: “After a sunny morning, the weather in the afternoon turned bad and uninviting. So it was only planned to find a few good compositions, which should then be implemented the following morning, since sunshine was announced here. Only a minute or two for a long time the cloud cover in the sky tore open just enough for the sun to shine through and illuminate the crowns of the Japanese cherry trees. ” (Image: Cyril Gosselin)
