[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I went to 's Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch), the capital of the province of Brabant.

's Hertogenbosch is the home of this beautiful Gothic cathedral, which is said to be one of the most beautiful cathedrals in The Netherlands. It was founded in 1220 in Romanesque church, the Gothic version is from 1525. Unfortunately it was two times damaged under a fire and it also has been under renovation for quite some time.

This photo was not easy to take. The light conditions were good, I only had to lighten the photo up a bit. But right in front of the cathedral, there are a lot of trees and a big parkingplace. That's why you don't see the bottom of the church.

I also had to play a bit with the perpective, because the photo was very crooked. (I hope I fixed that well.) The last two steps were resizing and sharpening (15-25%).

Lars also took a very good photo of this church last spring, under very different circumstances.

Hi Stef,
Grand golden light really brings the cathedral alive. Great clarity allows us to see every detail of the architecture. Tight cropping ensures high impact. Great work, Stef.

Hi Stef. Wow the warm afternoon light combined with the red bricks makes for one powerful shot. I think you made good decisions with the way you framed it. I'd much rather see the area above the parking lot and not the cars. Nice take Stef!

Bonjour Stef,
Félicitations pour cette superbe prise de vue. La correction est impeccable. Je me demande comment vous avez réussi à tout faire entrer dans la composition.
Magnifique chef d'oeuvre d'architecture religieuse. La lumière douce qui enveloppe l'ensemble donne encore plus de force à la composition.
Que la sérénité du temps des fêtes soit un heureux prélude à l'année nouvelle.
Meilleurs voeux Stef.

The light and shadows are beautiful and give the church a golden glow. The winter trees allow us tantalising glimpses of the architecture on the other side of them.

Hej Stefan,
Ah, heb je een uitstapje naar Den Bosch gemaakt? Bedankt naar de link van mijn versie van de Sint Jan. Jij had hem hier met een mooi winterlicht en warme kleuren.
Had ik je al bedankt voor je kerstkaart? Zo nee, bij deze. En verder staat je nieuwe tel.nr. genoteerd. :-)
Groetjes,
Lars
