Pleterje, Old church 1

Pleterje charterhouse was established in 1403 by Counts of Celje. It

was handed over to Jesuits in 1593 and disbanded in 1772.

Chartusian order reacquired the property and rebuilt the monastery in

1903. Of the few remaining buildings of the old monastery, the most

significant one is the old Gothic church, now open to the public. It

closely follows Chartusian order's strict rules.

 

The picture, an almost classical view down the nave trough the choir

screen, was taken some half an hour after sunset on a rainy day.

Beautiful architecture shot and nice light and colors.Regards,Judy

Judy,

 

Thank you very much!

Symetrical and nearly perpendicular. Nice composition.

Michael,

 

Thank you!

I only realized I missed the axis symmetry a bit when got the slides developed. It was so dark in the church I couldn't see much in the viewfinder.

There's also a bad grain problem, it was a 2 minutes exposure with a cheap film (Sensia). I should probably also do something about colour balance, it shifted into red, but unfortunately haven't found anything from Fuji on colour shift with long exposures in Sensia.

Anyway, I'll reshoot it with Astia.

 

Best regards,

The calm colors of the shot are really amazing. Beige with light yellow and the attractive marooned floor. Also, the architecture of the arches is wonderful. Great shot Miha.
