St.Andrews church at Cambridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hello to all TE friends,
I've seen many postings from my friends in sharing the images of Churches, chapels, cathedrals etc., from the other part of the world, so I thought of sharing something different my usual!
Captured this church at Cambridge, a town in between Hamilton and Taupo with a small population in a summer day!
Thank you for your time and wishing you all the best of everything!!
Cheers!!

Bonjour Tony
Un très joli cliché de cette belle petite église toute blanche avec une architecture particulière que l'on n'a pas l'habitude de voir dans nos régions.
Merci pour le partage et bonne soirée.

Bonjour Tony,
Une très intéressante architecture, vraisemblablement toute en bois(?), qui se détache merveilleusement bien sous ce ciel si bleu.
Excellente netteté.
Amicalement
Jean-Luc

patdeph (17854) 2009-02-16 9:52

hello Tony
this is something unusual in your gallery,but this is a fantastic photo!I like how this white church is standing out the blue sky,and how the strong colours have been enhanced by the light,I wonder if you used a polarizer!It's really magnificent!This is an architecture that we are not used to see in France and I like it very much!
Regards
Pascale

COSTANTINO (22709) 2009-02-16 10:28

life to this image,I can almost feel it..
You must know that the beauty is in the simplicity

ciao Tony,
ottima immagine di questa splendida chiesa in legno,
ottime la luce e la resa cromatica.
Quache metro indietro avrebbe giovato all'inquadratura rendendola più ampia..
un caro saluto
maurizio

Sistercosmo (2573) 2009-02-16 10:57

Hi dear Tony,
did Mark inspire you? ;-)) Yes, different from your usual post but none the less lovely. The white church contrasts nicely to the blue sky. Hard light, but you managed it well. Nice shot.
Thanks and take good care, my friend!
Linda

Hello Tony,
An unusual image in your gallery, but you've masterfully photographed. Beautiful church with a tower that seems to defy the sky. Excellent definition and color.
Good week.

Emile (19995) 2009-02-16 15:27

Hola Tony.
Well, well, well!! here is something different my good friend. Since last summer (our summer) that you posted the good "Ferry building terminal" photo you didn't have another shot with a building. Beautiful white church captured with very good sharpness, POV and frame. Nice colors and very good composition.
Un fuerte abrazo mi amigo.

lousat (15390) 2009-02-16 15:52

Oooooh! This is class !!!There is an incredible light and a fantastic sky! 2 points are not enough! My best compliments,have a nice day,Luciano

alftrek (2799) 2009-02-16 16:17

Hello Tony,
Wow, this is so spectacular. The contrast between the graduated blue sky and the white church is amazingly beautiful. Did you use a polarizer? Excellent work

Regards
Alfred

AROBN54 (10773) 2009-02-16 17:02

Warm greetings, my friend!
Very different and just as wonderful! As always, that magnificent light and color. The contrast is perfect for even as bright as the light is, there is still meticulous detail. I love the stark whiteness of the church in contrast to that beautiful blue sky. That is really a pretty church, too. Great shot!! Many thanks and warmest regards,
Shelly

asajernigan (14138) 2009-02-16 17:42

Tony,
This is a nice shot of this church. The angle of the shot is very good giving the scene nice depth. The trees frame the shot nicely. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

it's a Wonderful photo with blu and white

Royaldevon (5934) 2009-02-17 2:57

Hello Tony,

This is a change of subject for you, but clearly illustrates your versatility.

The clarity is amazing!
Sharply focussed details and perfectly balanced.
The light must have been very good for you creating such a lovely sky to give a strong contrast to the church.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

snunney (34914) 2009-02-17 3:02

Hello Tony,
A well presented composition of this lovely church. The dark blue sky makes the perfect backdrop to showcase the lovely white timber-work. The trees either side make good 'bookends' and offer some interesting tonal and textural contrasts. The framing at the bottom is a little tight but not a major issue.

belido (16499) 2009-02-17 3:18

Hi Tony,

stunning composition. The theme is really beautiful and the blue sky such a nice inclusion. Details and colors are superb. I like this a lot!
Regards,
Carlos

josepmarin (33785) 2009-02-17 3:38

Hi Tony,
Nice photo of architecture, a bit different from your habitual work, with a great quality of image and a good framing.
Such a white church and the trees are outlined on a blue fantastic sky. I like very much its geometry of lines and its elegance, and also the low luminosity of the composition, that it has a graphical very interesting effect.
Good work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Tony,
Wonderful colors in this job to show the beautiful church. Well done photojob, friend.

fulvio52 (8314) 2009-02-17 10:30

Hi, Tony.
Unusual sight in your gallery, indeed, nevertheless a lovely one! Excellent framing and light management, and a striking contrast between those whites and the deep blue sky. TFS! Have a great day, my friend. I'll see you soon. Hugs from The Lowlands,
Fulvio.

UlfE (8990) 2009-02-17 10:36

Hi Tony,

A bit unusual shot in your gallery, but with your usual very high quality. Very attractive colours and perfect light management. Also a really fine composition. TFS and have a nice day!

Cheers,

Ulf

MarianneS (14268) 2009-02-17 11:44

Hello Tony,
A great Papagolfade, as we call it here ;-)
I like its architecture. WIth such a light, its whiteness is brilliant and offers a great contrast against the blue sky.
Cheers,
Marianne

Waylim (10817) 2009-02-17 13:11

Sabaidie Tony,
That a change for you, we love your landcape and nature shot, but this is refreshing and something new. Love the clarity here, perfect sharpness and details on the church, the light colors contrast so well against the drak blue sky, the trees are nice and dark, perhaps too dark in some area it lost some details but, that didn't take away the overall beauty of the image. Beautiufully composed with all elements in the right place. Another really good one. Thanks
Way

Scharan (13951) 2009-02-17 15:33

gunbud (27891) 2009-02-18 6:46

Hi Tony,
A fine departure from your usual coastal landscape.
Love how the old white wooden church stands out so brilliantly against the cloudless blue sky.
Marvelous texture and details are seen to this lovely church.
White wooden churches are a very common scene in New England with just about every village showing one.
Regards, Tom

danos (32512) 2009-02-18 8:31

Hello Tony,
it's really a surprise to look a different theme from you,but at the same time the presentation of this church is magnificent.I like the sharpness and the clarity of the scene as the pure white of it.Great the contrast as the bell tower that outline against the blue sky.Well done.

Regards,Danos

Longroute (9355) 2009-02-18 9:45

Hello Tony,

A beautiful church for a change! Well done, really.
Not only we have here a remarkable architecture, but furthermore the strong contrast between the white church and the intense blue sky makes the whole picture so appealing!
The two trees at the side are a fine complement. Wise composition.
Best regards,
Donato

ciakgiak (10714) 2009-02-18 10:18

Hello Tony,
You have done well to post an image of this beautiful little church. I like his candor and the nature of its architecture, and the amazing contrast with the intense blue sky.
Well done my dear friend.
Best regards.
Giorgio

azaf1 (15547) 2009-02-18 11:43

Good evening Tony

Not only a master at seascapes but also at buildings. A bit of cropping to make it square would have certainly enhanced the beauty of the composition. Excellent POV and sharp details in a wonderful blue bg.

Best wishes from freezing Greece
Argiris

stego (22352) 2009-02-18 12:47

Hi Tony,
It's a very charming and elegant white church and you present it very nicely here. It really stands out with its white walls against that polarised blue sky and the green around.I like the tight vertical crop, that perhaps makes it look higher.
Regards, José.

rey316 (1902) 2009-02-18 12:48

Hi Tony,
Nice view of this beautiful church !!! Very good job

jimkilgallon (0) 2009-02-18 12:53

Very different tony but successful, the blues and whites contrast very well.
Also, you interested in going to Hokianga Harbour in the next few weeks? Another early start, not as far up as Reinga though.
Jim

cfreire (11647) 2009-02-18 14:30

Well done my friend.

Santo

baddori (4555) 2009-02-21 7:42

Hello I
A photo from envy.
The place and time has helped.
The sky and the white also.
The nittidezza is evident.
There is a deburring.
Congratulations

jaywalker (12190) 2009-02-21 11:40

Hi Tony, What a gorgeous church, & a beautifully traditional design with the tall spire & the steep sloping roves, a super white wooden structure showing great windows & doors, the light is very good & the sharp focus is excellent, kind regards Wilson.

loves_summer (763) 2009-02-21 14:01

Hi Tony,
Great architecture shot! I like how the white of the church contrasts against the deep blue of the sky. Good perspective and nice colours.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Tony,
Do you know how suprise when I see a church in your gallery, very beautiful a wooden church painted in white color, it look like a new church, thanks for sharing.
Ally

axiotea (16111) 2009-02-22 22:23

Hello Tony
Interesting architecture and I like how the white facades are nicely exposed under a strong light which you handled very well. The sky makes for a good BG on which the church stands out...It looks like you made use of a polarizer, but not sure ;)
Cheers
Marilyn

denisn72 (6979) 2009-02-23 12:32

Hello Tony

Wonderful church. Beautiful sky. Good shot.
Greetings from Poland!

pablominto (40732) 2009-03-06 3:32

Hello Tony,

Interesting to see a piece of architecture for a change!
The church design has much in common with those seen in the Norwegian countryside...
The fine light gives optimal conditions for photography, which you make well use of!

Greetings,
Pablo -

fanni (8737) 2009-03-24 0:39

Hi Tony,
first of all, the sky looks a little too polarized, but sometimes we can't help it: polarizers do their crazy tricks, no matter how you turn them! LOL
Excellent POV. I like the church which seems to be sharply piercing the blue sky with its steeple! The white colour looks so outstanding here...
Very proud-looking church ;)
Kindest regards and best wishes,
Elena

buscape (3725) 2009-03-29 7:19

Hello Tony,
