Saint Peter's Church Photo

Photographer’s Note

Saint Peter's church, Echebrune, dates from the 12th century though it bears evidence of restoration work carried out in the 15th century. The façade is a fine example of Saintonge Romanesque style.

Echebrune is small village with a population of around 460. Located in the ancient Saintonge area, it stands in the middle of the "Petite Champagne" vineyards that are a source of grapes that go into the production of cognac.

bonjour Stephen
une tres bon cadrage de cette église assez imposante ma foi, avec une belle architecture, une partie d'arbre à gauche, des petits devant et une petite prairie avec des paquerettes je suppose, tout ceci fait une belle composition
J'apprécie beaucoup les clochers de cette forme en Charente, il faudrait que je me replonge dans la doc des clochers pour savoir
bonne journée

Bonjour Stephen,
Je suis fou de cette architecture romane lourde, pataude. Quel charme, et l'intérieur de ce type d'église est étonnamment apaisant. Bon travail.
Bonne journée
Cordialement

Hello Stephen. A further church in your gallery. While some photos have only documentary value, this church is also very beautiful. The sun stands nearly ideally. A worth seeing shot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Stephen,
This is an excellent shot of this fine church! Your composition is great using the trees to frame the building while the lawn provides a nice buildup for the photo. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.

I see quite often this kind of composition in your gallery,with
an old medieval building in the center,and a tree or a branch
framing well and many times there is a shadow.Beautiful work

Hi Stephen.
A rather gentle light pervades this scene. The side-on view works nicely because of the pleasing proportions of the church, the gentle slope of the lawn and the row of trees against the old stonework. Nice degree of saturation. Altogether a pleasing shot.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Stephen,
I like the light with the long shadow of the tree from the left and the good view on the long side of the church. Clear capture with good colours and texture. 460 inhabitants is not much for a village with a church.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

chrisnet (20370) 2008-04-17 8:37

Hello Stephen,
Its a original church with the tower in the middle, good light and framing, a good view.

Hi Stephen,
The lush green lawn contrast wonderfully with the beautiful old stone church which in turn does the same to the lovely blue sky. Excellent details and sharpness to this fine presentation.
