Cathédral Notre-Dame de Reims

Notre-Dame de Reims (Our Lady of Rheims) is the cathedral of Reims, where the kings of France were once crowned. It replaces an older church, destroyed by a fire in 1211 and built itself on the site of the basilica, where Clovis was baptized by saint Remi, bishop of Reims, in AD 496. The cathedral was completed by the end of the 13th century, with the exception of the Western front. That portion was erected in the 14th century after 13th century designs—the nave having in the meantime been lengthened to afford room for the crowds that attended the coronations. The towers, 81 m tall (approx. 267 ft), were originally designed to rise 120 m (approx. 394 ft). The Southern tower holds two great bells; one of them, named “Charlotte” by the cardinal of Lorraine in 1570, weighs more than 10,000 kg (approx. 11 tons).

Well done, for the churches, focal length is always too much :-) Just one thing: why didn't you align the camera with the church's axis? Excellent exposure and saturation. The altar is a bit soft/out of focus maybe.

The colors of the stained-glass windows looks enhanced. Perhaps a bit too much...

  • Great

Muito boa a perspectiva, Victor. Impressionante! A grande angular permite-nos visões muito legais e você a trouxe com ótima qualidade aqui.
Abraço,
