Good Shepherd II Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another view of the Church of the Good Shepherd. What a difference a few hours makes to the light and the weather!

I couldn't believe my good fortune with the very obliging rainbow. The rain kept the crowds away and I was able to quickly frame this image before it got too heavy.

f/8, 1/400 handheld. Overcast white balance. No PP.

Hallo Simon!
You show us a very atmospheric and beautiful photo. the composition couldn't be better and you used the gorgeous light in a skillful way. A truly not everyday photo ...
Greetings from cold (-10°C) but sunny Germany - and a Happy New Year to you and yours!

Hi Simon.
Good to see you uploading again!
Great rainbow shot, but also a lovely composition of this simple church. I like the gentle light, especially on those clumps of grass around the church door. Great capture with the rainbow arching across the church, too. Very nicely done.
Regards,
Andrew
PS. I just had a gander at your website photos - very nice shots. Have you thought about signing up on TrekLens or TrekNature or both? I just started an account on TL, where there's more emphasis on post processing and various other types of shots like moods and abstracts and close-ups.

Hi Simon,

extraordinary composition with the rainbow and the beautiful architecture (maybe a little tilted).

Hello Simon
Lucky for the rainbow but also for the excellent light which gave pleasant color tones! Charming church with its old stones which created a beautiful pattern!

Best wishes for 2009!

Hello Simon, Nice scene even without the rainbow but that is the icing on the cake. The grey sky works in your favor here making this little church pop out. I also like the natural colours & long grass. Good to hear from you.
Regards
Santo
