Shadows in the Cathedral Photo

Photographer’s Note

La statue et le chemin de croix sont, comme la cathedrale elle même, de peu de caractère, à mon avis.
Mais un rayon de lumière peut les rendre à mes yeux plutôt attirants.

Hi Aline,

Remarkable photo where the light is totally awesome. It fells right on the religious icons and creates dramatic shadows, even on the bas-relief of the painting wood frame.

You didn't write a note, but you don't have to... everything is there.

Cheers!

André

Hmm, you have two views of this photo so far, and two comments! Well, I can see why--you're making excellent use of those essentials of photography, light and shadow. The whole image has a very solemn feel, like this is truly a quiet place, and a place where the sun only enters occasionally (so we are lucky to be there when it does.) Happy to have you as a neighbor (well, close) in the gallery today. Regards, Ken.

Bonjour Aline!
Tu as su saisir une très jolie lumière.
L'architecte de la cathédrale Saint-Louis est tout de même l'auteur du Petit Trianon de Versailles, de l'Opéra du château de Versailles... Mais je partage ton point de vue en ce qui concerne le caractère de cette construction. En matière d'église, l'architecture néo-classique ne me plaît pas vraiment.
Amitiés
Eva

Good morning Aline,
Beautiful light in the cathedral, shining over the painting and the little statue...
I like the natural framing by darkness at both sides.
Nice capture,
Burcu

Hello Aline.

Beautiful light you have caught. Composition with the painting and the figure castnig shadow on the wall gives mystic atmposphere. Very good photo.

Hello Aline,

C'est très bien vu ça, en tout cas à mes yeux cela trouve grâce, ce qui j'en conviens n'est pas une référence. J'aime surtout la captation de l'ombre portée de la statue.En plus pas de saturation inutile des couleurs c'est vrai.
Bravo.
cordialement.

Hello Aline,
Great, bold use of those vertical bands of black shadow to create a strong composition, embellished by the colours of the painting and delicate silhouette of the saint.
Very exciting image.
Best wishes....Maggie

Hello Aline.
A wonderful photo with such beautiful light and shadow, and a very well balanced composition. Your exposure is very good and the quality of the image is first class. You have shown this corner of the cathedral so well and it seems a quiet and peaceful place for reflection and meditation. The frame is well chosen, too.
Regards,
Andrew

c'était exactement le bon moment avec cet angle de lumière qui projète l'ombre de la statue au bon endroit, joli

Now, here the light is magical, Aline. And with strong contrasts that I love. It seems to me that the best detail is the shadow of the statue on the wall. Superb capture of LIGHT, problably the most important element in photography.

Bonsoir Aline,

je découvre avec grand plaisir ta superbe galerie!

celle-ci a retenu mon attention par son atmosphère de recueillement que tu as su capter !

Bravo

Ecrire avec la lumière: tu sais faire et attendre pour que celà soit encore plus beau. J'aime donc cette statue et son ombre ainsi que les ombres douces sur le pilier de droite.
Bravo
