Church of the Third Order of Carmo, a photo from Algarve, South

Photographer's Note

Church of the Third Order of Carmo

The construction of the church date of 1744, having been ordered to build by members of the Third Order of Carmo. Its façade, however, was only finished building in 1792. With a portico of the Baroque style, the plan of this temple is a Latin cross. The architecture of its interior dominated the Rococo style.
Throughout his single ship are distributed six chapels: the first part of the Gospel, is dedicated to Prophet Elias - founder of the Order of Carmo; ahead is the altarpiece of the chapel dedicated to St. Teresa of Avila, followed by to them, bordering each other the twin altars of St. Albert and St. Efigénia respectively on the side of the Gospel and Epistle-side. Finally, next to the door, there are the altars of St. Anthony and Our Lady. The two side altars are the triumphal arch of the invocation of the Lord and the Steps of Our Lady of Anguish. In the Chancel, the highlight was the joint main altarpiece, as well as painting the ceiling of the vault with feigned architecture and central screen with a representation of Our Lady of Mount Carmo
, to deliver the Scapular to St. Simon Stock. The authorship of the paintings exist are due to Jose Ferreira da Rocha and Joaquim José Rasquinho.
The bishop of Faro, Dom Inácio de Santa Teresa, is buried here.

Olá Gonçalo, tem algo de tétrico esta imagem. Faz-me lembrar os encapuçados que mostrei da semana santa aqui em granada :) A iluminação da fachada é curiosa com aquele colar gigante, parece quase uma instalação ;-) Gosto muito do ambiente capturado.
RE: obrigado pelo WS. Debati-me muito com o pp daquela imagem, se devia ou não aumentar os contrastes ou ir para o p&b. O 1º plano parece-me um pouco escuro de mais mas gosto mais do efeito da tua imagem nas camadas.
Um abraço,
ric

Hi Goncalo,

Using a tripod and an exposure speed of 30 seconds are allowing me to see the details and colors of the architecture of the church of the Third Order of Carmo. The subject is well framed. The lights have a special effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Ola Goncalo,
une photo pas facile, en effet, à l'origine, les lumières ne sont pas bien réparties ce qui donne une grande zone sombre sur la photo.
Il ya aussi quelques distorsion de perspective à recorriger. Bref, un worksop à réaliser.
Regards.
Daniel.

Olà Goncalo,

not an easy subject, due to the mix of light and dark. I see a bit too much dark, maube because of my monitor settings

parabéns!

Olá Gonçalo,
buen resultado en esta toma nocturna, gracias a una excelente gestión de los ajustes de tiempo y abertura, que ha creado un bello efecto en la iluminación en esta iglesia, con un fuerte contraste de los tonos dorados con el cielo absolutamente negro.
Me gusta, es un buen trabajo.
Um abraço,
