Saint Paul's Århus Photo

Photographer’s Note

On my last photo, you could already see this church from a big distance, by the end of the road in the middle, there is the Saint Paul's square and on that square the Saint Paul's church of Aarhus. You can see that road here

This church is build in historicistic style (which came after the late classistic style), a romantic, liberal and subjtective style which was inspired by the middle ages and renaissance.

It is desinged by the royal architect W.Th. Walther in 1887, and his inspiration for this church came from the Roman style from north Italy.

Hi Stef, nice shot with good colours, although the light comes from the "wrong" side and leaves the front in shadow, but it's not easy to turn the church :)

Goedeavond Stef,
Ik dacht niet dat de kerk al meer dan honderd jaar oud is, maar uw tekst geeft meer duidelijkheid. Spijtig dat ze daar een kabel voor gespannen hebben, estetisch is dit eigenlijk niet verantwoord. Uw foto is zeker een goede compositie en echte kleuren,
Groeten,
John.

Bonsoir Stef,
Les églises sont toujours difficiles à photographier, les constructions se sont installées tout autour de l'édifice religieux et les routes également. Il faut dire que l'église constituait un bâtiment de première importance.
Le cadrage est bon, heureusement que les feuilles des arbres n'étaient pas en abondance, cela nous aurait privés d'admirer l'architecture.
Merci pour la note.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Godaften Stefan,
Is dit niet die kerk waar we toen 's avonds in de stromende regen heen waren gelopen? De POV is erg goed.
Voor de kabel (blijft onvermijdelijk in DK) en het achtergrondlicht heb ik me een WS'je gepermiteerd ;-), ook al ben ik niet de enige, maar werd wel weer eens tijd dat ik dat deed!
Groetjes,
Lars

Beautiful church. And the blue sky added more beauty to the composition. Good job! Regards!

nice shot here, I like the way you took this, I just think it needs to be a little darker, the couple are nicely placed too, well done

Hi Stef. It looks like this was taken with Spring in full swing. I like the backlighting on the trees on the right because it gives such good contrast. If I were you I'd clone that weird arrow sign out. But the architecture is beautiful. Good one Stef!

Hi Stef, A nicely composed picture. The blue sky is an excellent background making the contrast to the outline of the building. A well taken picture with sharpness and depth.

Oh - now I remember - Somebody place this fine church in the middle of the road - I passed by it sevelral times - a good landmark indeed - I like the catch with people and the fine sky as well - thanks Stef.
