Color in a grey Day Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the Wallfahrtskirche Frauenberg, a baroque Papagolfade that stands on top of a hill near Admont, it normally offers nice views due to its spectacular position within the mountains but given the nice austrian summer day I had I went for this close framing to get more color from the facade.

Salut Jean Yves,

I like this church! The facade is very interesting though I think the clocks are perhaps newer than the rest. Good perspective showing the full height and details of the building. Good colours and light. Thanks JY.

Hi Jean Yves,
Your sunday church looks nice, not only in colour, but also in the way how he stands there. The colourful flowers add some extra colour to the image in this grey dull looking sky...nice.
Have a nice sunday, Henk

J'aime beaucoup cette façade baroque autrichienne sous cette douce lumière. Jolie papagolfade!

Salut JY

On se croirait dans un conte de fées avec cette architecture baroque... Enfin bien que l'environnement ne fasse pas rêver ! La Belle au Bois Dormant est censée se réveiller quand même !
Une Papagolfade originale.

Bises, et bon dimanche

Salut Jean-Yves
Voici une eglise au style bien marqué et particulier. Belle mise en valeur d'une lumière qui ne semblait pas être au top.
Amicalement

Hi Jean Yves,
these nice colors as a contrast to the gray and dull weather really look great! The church stands out well against the gray sky and your vertical framing was the right decission. Sharpnes is excellent and so is your POV. A lovely shot, many thanskf ro sharing!

Take care
Mark

Hi JY,
You were not so lucky this time, in terms of blue sky :S
But how lucky to find this charming baroque papagolfade at the top of a hill. I like its color and how you managed to cope with barrel distortion. Very straight towers they are ;)
Cheers,
Deniz

Olá JY, amazing diferent facade for this church. I've never seen anything similar before. In such a grey day, that salmon color makes it stand out, but I believe that its shapes make it stand out even more, specially those tops of towers. Excellent perspective using the green lines of the cemetery.
have a nice sunday,
ricardo

What's a beautiful architecture you capture here. Very nice. I really like the colors of the building. Well done. Sothy

Hello, JY -

This photo is strangely two-dimensional, perhaps because only the facade of the church is visible (the bit of the side of the left tower doesn't really count). I find it intriguing.

The subdued colors are also nice.

Best,
Dan

Salut Jean Yves,
Very nice symmetrical architecture. Really an interesting shot with good frame and nice colours. Well done my dear friend...
Have a nice week...

Hello Jean-Yves,

Pas vraiment gai comme Papagolfade. Il faut dire que le ciel et l'avant plan n'aide pas à créer une ambiance festive. ;-)
Il n'en reste pas moins que l'architecture et les décorations très spécifiques de cette église valaient bien un cliché.

Salut JY,
cette église du seigneur à l'air d'être en communication directe avec le ciel ;o))
Bien vu maître
Marc

Salut Jean Yves
la verticalité de cette image nous emporte droit au ciel. L'architecture est tout de même étonnante; ca fait un peu décors de cinéma mais l'image est très belle
Amicalement

Hello Jean
Fantastic picture of this church. Interesting clocks in the facade and these flowerbeds are lovely. Nice composition.

It is a lovely image of a rather strange building, JY. I am interested to hear that it is Baroque in style, because it has none of the classical detail, the flowing lines and the rich ornamentation that we associate with that period. However, is see that the interior is full of rich Baroque decoration. I though it was a model of a church , in Lego perhaps, perhaps. Are the two clocks on the towers an example of German efficiency, so that we can be doubly sure of the time? I like the placement just off center and the colours are lovely.Whatever the style and location, JY always manages to produce a perfect image. Regards Kevin

Bonjour, cher Jean-Yves,
Ah ! voilà une église qui sort des sentiers battus, son architecture est surprenante avec ses clochers à bulbe, sa façade colorée, son environnement.
Merci, Jean-Yves, de nous faire découvrir des édifices religieux aussi étranges !
Voilà tout l'intérêt de TE, apprendre par l'image et les notes d'accompagnement.
Un grand merci pour le partage.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi JY
Very clean and crisp colours despite the grey day as you say. The church rises high into the sky which shows stunning features especially the domes. Well managed despite the lighting JY. See you around
Regards
Jim

zeynepe (9360) 2008-10-13 3:31

Hi Jean Yves,
The elegant architectural details of the church looks fantastic with your creative POV.
However I miss the blue sky :)
Congrats and have a nice week,
Zeynep

brandstaetter (14400) 2008-10-13 8:27

Hi JY,
here you got nice pastel tones, including the sky. And, tell me the secret, you use the transform-option in PS to get all lines vertical, and not a tilt and shift-lense ?
Cheers Chris

cherryripe (19187) 2008-10-13 9:12

Salut JY
C'est presque jaune, donc joli ;-) Je trouve l'architecture des églises autrichiennes très mignonne. C'est aussi sympa d'avoir toutes ces fleurs sur les tombeaux qui rend la scène plutôt gai.
Bonne soirée
Nikki
P.S. Je n'ai toujours pas jeté ma boîte ;-)

leo61 (43712) 2008-10-13 9:57

Hi Jean Yves!
Du zeigst hier eindrucksvoll ,wie man bei schlechtem Wetter noch ein gutes Bild schießt.POV und Kompo sind perfect und der Kontrast zwischen der Schönen Kirche und dem Himmel ist toll.
Gruß,Leo

gilou530 (35680) 2008-10-13 12:58

salut JY
une église au style particulier pour ce pays, une lumiére un peu forte et un ciel qui ne t'aide pas beaucoup, c'est un peu dommage mais on ne peut pas toujours avoir de bonnes conditions
amitiés

Olá Jean,
impressionante a vista dessa igreja, e acho que o tempo fechadou ajudou a ressaltar as cores dela, criando um belo contraste. Muito bonito esse jardim na frente dela também.
Parabéns e Abraço

Hello Jean Yves,
aha, how to solve a situation different from our original conception - special thanks for the note. Finally you could paint a beautiful Baroque church with small but colourful cemetery placed into the heaven. I suspect the result is better than it would have been at bright weather since it tells more of the function and atmosphere of this complex. Never worse solution of any unwaited situation!
Congratulations
Laszlo
