Travel Photo Contest – Horia Bogdan
Horia Bogdan
Visiting Brussels can result in many nice photos of landmarks, great (old and new) buildings or statues, but it’s sometimes the small things that make the difference. Here i found this nice old passage somewhere downtown, full of chocolate and champagne shops on both sides, with little cafes and breweries here and there. I really liked the marble pillars and the glass on top and converting the shot to black&white gave it the “vintage” look that resonated with feeling I had when i was there. I also used a 8 stop full ND filter here to blue a bit the motion of the crowed for the desired effect.

Great perspective, Horia. It has a nice vintage European feel to the image. The solitary figure balances the storefront overhang on the right nicely.
I also like the contrast between the figures in motion and the solitary figure sharply defined.
