San Francisco Church

San Francisco a couple of years ago. Comments welcome.

Interesting lighting conditions and soft shadows. Try it with just black and white, overall 5/6.

I like this shot, too, especially the colors. Compositionally, I wish the sign wasn't chopped off on the right side. I thought Hassan's idea about b&w was a good one, though after trying it, I prefer it in color.

I prefer the color shot as well.

Thanks Robert for the the comment. I played around with a B&W version too but like you thought the color version brought more to the table. Although your rendition is quite good.

 

Thanks Amar for commenting.

I too thought B+W would be interesting, but I find the color shot much more appealing. I agree, don't cut off the sign. I wonder what this would look like with a "corrected perspective" (it might loose the feeling of massiveness)...but the tilting of the building on the right is slightly disturbing to me.

 

Again, the way you have the colors set in the sky, this is really appealing.

The clipped sign has bothered others too. Unfortunately, this is a full frame image so there is nothing I can do about it. As far as perspective is concerned this was shoot with the equivalent of a 24mm lens. Reshooting is an option if someone would donate a plane ticket from Atlanta :)...Thanks for your comment, Richard.

I really like this, Pete. You've been really busy since last I visited your page.

Stop into a church...

Makes me wanna go there. Beautiful. Good work.

Thanks Lannie, not as busy doing actual shooting but playing catch up.

 

Thanks Jan. Perhaps one day I'll get back there and do some more. Too much to see and too much to do.

Dramatic lighting and very nice composition and subject matter.

Thank you Ken. I appreciate your comment.

Pete , it would be interesting to know the technical details specially about the sky colour..

I like how the edge on the left of the church is lined up with the edge of the image. The detail in the shot is very good too.

Very interesting presentation of the sky... haven't come across to many shots with a similar look. It works very well.

Nicely done.

yes, this is really lovely. the colors are terrific and i like the black and white too. both have real drama in an every day scene.

Great tones,lighting and sharpness.

Yes, it's never endingly exciting what lighting can do. Thank you Ben and Peter for your comments.

Pete,

 

Love the colour contrast between the church and the sky. Had to click on this when I saw it in your portfolio - a lovely picture. Not so bothered about the edge of the sign missing as don't think it is the main emphasis behind the photograph.

 

Well done!

Thank you Tim. And thank you for visiting my portfolio.

...mood on this one !

congrats.

Thank you Behel, I appreciate your stopping by.

Great shot.
