L'église de St-Ferdinand d'Halifax Photo

Photographer’s Note

Français/French
L'imposante église Saint-Ferdinand fût construite en 1925. Dans un style conventionnel, l'élégant édifice recouvert de briques pâles présente en façade un clocher flanqué de ses deux clochetons. Le traditionnel coq de cuivre à la pointe de cette majestueuse flèche nous indique encore la direction des vents.

Saint-Ferdinand church was built in 1925. In a conventional style, the stylish building covered with pale bricks presents in its facade a huge bell-tower and two smaller ones on each side of the main one. The traditional copper cock to the point of this majestic arrow still indicates the direction of the winds.

Hello Denis,

Give me a church without telling me where it is, if it is Canadian I think I will recognize in 9 out of 10..!
Typical architecture is well presented, the point of view works well...
Brown bricks contrasts well with the green landscape and blue sky!

Greetings,

Hi Denis
The grand old church with its golden hue stands out beautifully against the lovely blue sky and its wispy clouds.
Strong light brings out the lovley details of the early 19th century church.
Many of the churches where I live look much like this beauty which served the Catholic North American during the 19th century industurial period.

Salut Denis,

I envy much the clarity, sharpness and vivacity of the colours in most of your photos and this is a good example of that. Too often we may like the colours but their saturation looks unnatural, but that doesn't happen with yours. Much the same goes for the sharpness.

Here I appreciate also your choice of POV, far from the most obvious, but very effective.

I wonder if the tilt to the left is intentional. Strangely, I don't find it so annoying, maybe because it is compensated by the convergence, which makes the left part look inclined to the right.

Amicalement,
José

phwall (5546) 2009-10-27 19:36

Hi Denis,
A superb image, the colours, the pin sharp detail, the perspective and the light, all brilliantly show off this lovely church.
That sky is amazing.
Well done.
Regards
Peter
