St. Patrick's Cathedral Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a shot of the choir chambers and alter of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin Ireland.
St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, formally known as The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of Saint Patrick, Dublin or in the Irish language as Árd Eaglais Naomh Pádraig, is the larger of Dublin's two Church of Ireland Cathedrals. Unusually it is not a sole seat of a bishop, as Dublin's Church of Ireland Archbishop has his seat in Christ Church Cathedral, with St. Patrick's being seen as the National Cathedral for the whole island, drawing chapter members from each of the twelve dioceses of the Church of Ireland.

Hello, Asa.
This is phenomenol. I love the way that warm light lights up the arches in the background. The colors and detail are superb. The POV is perfect to draw the eye to that beautiful stained glass window in the back. Just wonderful. Kind regards,
Shelly

Hallo Asa!
A great photo! You managed the unfavourable light conditions here very well. There are so many details to be seen and the colours are wonderful. An atmospheric picture ...
Greetings from Germany - and Happy Easter!

Hi Asa,
wonderful result, a lot of details can be seen in warm colours. Good light and interesting repetition of the benches.

Bonjour Asa,
Bien que légèrement trop sombre cette image ne manque pas d'intérêt ! Les couleurs sont superbes, la lumière bien répartie et les détails très nets.
Merci.

Hi Asa,
Beautiful old church with plenty of details. I'm surprised that there was so much light so that you could use 1/60 exposure. Good, you caught it without blur. I wish you had even wider lens with you.

Have a nice day JY

Bonjour Asa,
une photo d'intérieure bien soignée dans les paramètres de prise de vue, mais aussi dans le cadrage et le choix du POV.
Dommage que les vitraux soient coupés.
Best regards.

Hi Asa,

A marvellous sight of the interior of this beautiful church where all the details which are seen are well emphasized. On the contrary I like this environment a little dark which accented the solemn one of the place. Beautiful quality of image, pretty glance, cheer.

With all my friendships,

Jean-Charles

Hi Asa,
Well taken, good angle and lovely light to give nice tones, well captured.

Hi Asa
Warm colors of the end of the day. Maybe you should have tried it without flash but the use of a tripod and a long exposure.

Hi Asa. This is quite a masterly composition. You managed to capture the grandeur of the cathedral and at the same time the warmth and age of the woo that makes up the wooden chambers.Excellent combination of wood, stone and cloth (of the colourful banners/flags). Well done. Regards. Klaudio.

claire526 (1261) 2007-05-14 11:32

Hi Asa,
Great light, colors, symmetry, composition and sharpness here. I like it, well done!
Cheers,

I love interior shots of churches, Asa, and you did it exactly as I like it. The warm colors on the wood and above the altar region conferes a nice atmosphere and certainly inspiring for some introspective thoughts. Very well balanced light conditions.

Angshu (34157) 2007-06-01 0:18

Hello Asa
I am always fascinated by church interior photos, possibly because it's difficult to take. I like how you've handled the difficult light here & yet shown the details. I especially like the warm light on the alter and the contrast with the cold colours of the two sides. Well done!
Regards
Angshu

Ciao

capthaddock (28640) 2007-06-24 19:33

Hi Asa - the symmetry works well here, it looks like you used flash, I'm surprised it is permitted inside the cathedral, I wish the lens was wide enough to include the tops of the stained glass windows.

tehanu_f (6874) 2007-06-26 15:03

Hi Asa,
I like this symmetrical shot with clear details and depth. I also like the light management, but I wonder whether you used flash because the light would probably have been warmer if you hadn't. Well done.

Greg1949 (8519) 2007-08-18 17:09

Asa, this is a very nice shot. Because of that it is I suppose an offset angle really isn't possible and your colors are very nice. There must be quite a bit of light to allw for this exposure, even bumping the IOS up would't do all this I don't think. Anyway a good capture,

Greg
