Photo Comp March 2013 - "Snaps of Churches"

[RiK]

I just love this one. Besides the angle, the sky, etc it gives me a feeling of timeliness.

Thanks

Note: I tried to click on it but Flickr says it's private

Oops, sorry. Just realised that a few pics uploaded around that time had the private option set as I'd forgotten to change it in the Lightroom settings after loading up some personal shots for a friend..

A snap taken today a couple of hours ago on my Galaxy S2. I don't have the foggiest about what I'm doing and don't really care but there you go



One of a very few surviving chapels that are actually in the middle of a river attached to a bridge. I tried to at least show that by getting in an arch on either side and the river but the chapel looks off centre because I took it at an angle.

[edit] Oops the forum doesn't resize it? - thankfully imgur let's you resize stuff after upload.

Little Twist on the subject this month. This is my official entry. With my new 40 Buck Camara. FujiFilm Fine Pix Z70. I went with the close window shot to make it look Ooh Natural. Rather than open the window. So you get a little refection and sun glare.





Side Mirror.

Church Entrance

Note: the church was originally built in the 1600s, like most of the city had to be rebuilt after the quake of 1755, and was later looted during the Napoleonic invasions. It's still an operational church.

As for the rules i didn't do anything to the picture, not even cropping.

This morning, Basilica of The Sacred Heart of Jesus (1789) in Lisbon

Theres something about this that makes me feel a little disoriented and like i'm going to fall of my chair each time I look away and then look back at it.

Spiritual ecstasy often has that effect on people.

My final decision, sorry about so many tries, it's this one taken this morning

The church in town, a modern architecture one, built between 1967 and 1969. I actually like the simplicity of its lines and the fact that today the stairway is still wet from the rain.




Note: On the right side of the image thru the glass is possible to see the 2 resident cats, one under the flower shrub, as usual, and the other a bit to left on the floor in the sun.

I like the pic a lot cos you can "feel" the weight of the building (it's pretty bland as far as churches go but seems massive)... it's like a ship going down, and with the angles, it is a bit disorientating. That is my entry, btw, not that it really matters.

A couple of others I took at the same time.

All shot in Palma di Mallorca a week ago with my little ixos.

La Seu ("The Light"): Cathredral set up after the Reconquista right over the remnants of a mosque. Still pointing exactly to Mecca.


Unknown church (well, unknown to me at least) in the old town of Palma.


And one of the very few Arabic relicts that has survived the Reconquista and the last 1000 years.


Posting images that are not even a bit colour graded is really hard. It forces me to simply accept the heavy DSP-processing that the Ixos developers thought would look cool...
