"Crying out"

When I was a young child I had a big interest in the holy book. Wherever it was hidden for me, I figured out where it was in few seconds. My mother was sure that I would become a priest. Maybe this explain my interest for some churches which can be viewed in my Portfolio. Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts.

Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts.

great depth, I love it

Why not any more?

God's still there you know.

I'd love to strike up a conversation about it if you don't mind.

God bless.

This is absolutely stonking.. 7/7..

 

What have you done to achive this.. I like it.

This is a great shot, but the perspective distortion is a little bothersome. It makes the church look like it about to fall over. This is easily corrected for in PhotoShop. Ever try it?

Thank you Vladimer

Micah, thanks for your comment. Who said not any more? I know. God bless. -Baldur

Mark, thank you for your thoughts. Glad you like it. I used 14mm ultra wide angle lens.

Byron, many thanks for your comment. Yes I have tryed it and did not like the outcome. However, this is my version of this church. Thanks again and kind regards, Baldur

I like the distortion and it just makes the impact more strong. Everything points to the sky, while sky has great cloud to cooperate. What could be better? Another Gem.

Unique, to say the least. Nice saturated colors. Regards, Wolf.

Clouds distortion makes to think that sky is added in PS, but after checking that no manipulation, it makes image more unique.

Creative use of camera angle... and good title, Baldur...!

Ah! - the light and space of Iceland we have come to expect from you, Baldur! I like churches too. They represent a peoples way of expressing faith and love and go beyond what we see and touch. (and they usually look good too).

 

I like this shot and your creative use of the perspective distortion. (14mm - that IS wide!). Possibly I might have tried to use the verticals of the poles and crosses on the left to give more of a sense of reaching towards heaven but I have no idea whether that idea would work in practice. Beautiful light as ever! regards - Colin

Another great "Birgis Creation"! The 14mm looks like a lot of fun. How about removing the small dark object on the extreme left of the frame? Regards.

Kurt, many thanks for your comment. Glad you think so.

Wolf, many thanks. Regards, Baldur

Marek, many thanks for your comment. Most of my work is unmanipulated and I think there is only one image in this folder with the sky added by layer. Best regards, Baldur

Brad, many thanks for your comment. Glad you think so. Sometimes when I am not sure about a title, I ask my wife what she think. I did so in this case and she came with this one, absolutely sure. Thanks to her !

Colin, many thanks for your comment. I agree with all you said about churches. Before I made the shot, I tryed all kind of angles and in the end I decided this one with the "Humble Effect" in the flagpole and crosses around the church. Best regards, Baldur

 

Walter, thank you very much for your comment. Glad you like it. The small dark object is the upper part of a stone gate with a cross on the top. I decided to keep it inside the frame before the shot because my feeling was that it is a part of a reverence from the flagpole and crosses for the church. "Energy" is from the day before the shot. Best regards, Baldur

Baldur. A long time....I echo Colin, the light of Iceland!!You are a master to use it in your postings.I like the chaurch as if bending in order to touch the sky!( distortion in this case works....)very beautiful colors. Pnina

Pnina, thank you very much my dear. Glad you think so. :-))

I'll gladly add this one to my collection of favourites, Baldur. It has been far too long since I roamed these pages of yours...
