or a petrification from the past ?

glad to see you back after a longer absence. Very interesting building and good captured.

Hello Baldur, this is a beautiful and atypical church. You captured it in good light and from a well chosen angle. The sky is interesting, as usual. Best wishes. Peter

This is very interesting work, I like that blue sky( that has been established as your trade mark) composed within image...and you know what..I began to be Canon FD fan....never could say for myself as I was born with old Zeiss and Leica glasses....also loved Nikon...but find myself bying Canon FD cameras and glasses....funny..:-))

When I discovered the church in this beautiful light, I felt it like a big animal from the past. Therfore "Sfinx" came into my mind. Greetings, Baldur

Hi Peter, many thanks for your visit and kind comment. Before the shot I felt like I was in jurasic park ! Best wishes, Baldur

mmany thanks for your kind comment. About the FD system and the L "virus" This is a little bit strange. Do you know how many we are here ? There was a funny discussion here more than a year ago if you have not seen it. http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00C2m6 Best regards, Baldur

another wonderful photo from that fine old high quality gear

William, many thanks for your kind comment. Interesting the ten things you have wroted about. Regards, Baldur

the pleasure was mine. We are clearly together in this as many other good people.

This old equipment has a unique style where charming construction is one part of it. I also do have this same camera but insted the 55, I do have the New FD 50mm f/1.2L which is both rich of color and sharp. The New FD 85mm f/1.2L is also a great lens and of course the New FD 135mm f/2.0, the none "L" which is so great, that it should have been an "L" lens ! and so on and on. Best regards, Baldur

Great work!! Regards Paul

Paul, many thanks for your visit and comment. Regards, Baldur

Interesting architecture in beautiful lighting. Well-chosen title.

Many thanks for your visit and comment. I think this church is unlike any other church I have seen here in Iceland. I have mostly been interested for the older and smaller churhes who are basically made of wood, with some exceptions. Because of some connection with the Sfinx in Egypt (in my mind) and with this beautiful light, I decided to capture it. Best regards, Baldur

Hi Dear Baldur, yesssss the light, it is just perfect, and the title with it, and I remember the old churches

 

kind regards Els

The blue is very beautiful & it compliments the unique building very well.

Do you mean 'Sphinx',Baldur? Very good composition,light,exposure and color contrast.

Hi Dear Els, many thanks for your visit and thoughts. Kind regards, Baldur

Cherlyn, many thanks for your visit and comment. Regards, Baldur

A.K. Sircar, many thanks for your kind comment and for correcting me about the title. I made a mistake and used the Icelandic version as we write the name. Many thanks again. Best regards, Baldur

I had to look at it twice ... it IS a modern-day Sphinx. Wonderful, as usual!

Lou Ann, many thanks for your kind comment. Glad you like it. Regards, Baldur

Baldur, you have waited for the right light for this shot. The building glows in the sunlight and the clouds while dramtic do not overshadow it.
