The Chapel Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This architecture at The University of Vermont is called the Ira Allen Chapel. It was built in 1925 and named after the founder of the university. It's gold-domed bell tower rises 165 feet above the UVM campus and it can accommodate 1000 people.

To get this shot, I laid on my back on the sidewalk and carefully framed it in an angle to get the roof from corner to corner while keeping the tower somewhat verticle.

Hi Harjit, I like this in your face shot of the Chapel, against that dark blue sky. I won't be doing a workshop to try to straighten it. The colours and contrasts are very nice. You even have the "Timex Time" of 10:10 on the clock. Was this intentional?

Thanks, John

Hello Harjit,
Very nice colors, with super contrast.
The deep blue of the sky is great, and the frontage white is pleasant too.
Nice one,
JB.

Good POV and composition, Harjit. You chose a good day (as well as a good time!) to get this shot - the contrast agsinst the deep blue sky is excellent. Good sharpness too. Cheers . . . David

Hi Harjit, I like the composition of this shot. The angle and perpective are totally out of logic at least to my mind. Good shot!

Hello Harjit! Your effort was worth it on this one, the unique angle produced a creatively distorted spin on a beautiful building. That blue sky is well-seen too.
