Cathedral

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 22 July 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

From the oldie files. Caught my interest because of the way these live oaks framed this Savannah (GA) cathedral's spire. I've also produced this image in a sepia tone and like it even better than the color version. But for some reason I decided to post the color one instead. Ah, well...

Happy Sunday. Soli Deo Gloria.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.

Great shot through the trees! :)

@HorseRotorVator: Just goes to show you: you can see the steeple because of the trees. Groan. Thanks for the encouragement, HRV.

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

Fantastic framing!!!
Love Savannah and it's great architecture.
Have you ever been to Charleston?

22 Jul 2007 2:14pm

@Jen: Thanks, Jen. Savannah, New Orleans, Boston, St. Augustine, and Charleston are my favorite cities. Their architecture, history, scale, feel and ambiance all come together for me. When I went to Charleston, it was pre-digital days and I was in-between working 35mm film cameras, so no pix. I want to go back someday, digitally armed and dangerous. Just you wait! Heh.

adalove from Alcala de Guadaira, Spain

Nice view of the cathedral. Good!

22 Jul 2007 3:50pm

@adalove: Thank you so much.

Dawn Sutherland from Phoenix, United States

I can just picture the sepia one and I am sure it is a stunner. The color one works nicely also. Love the framing.

22 Jul 2007 5:19pm

@Dawn Sutherland: You've tempted me to maybe post the sepia one down the road somewhere. Thanks, your positive comments are a real encouragement.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

The trees do make a nice frame for the shot. I'm a fan of colour, but why not post the sepia one for a comparison

22 Jul 2007 6:09pm

@Richard_Irwin: Thank you for taking a look at this one; I may well take you up on your suggestion to post the sepia version as a comparison one day in the next month or so. I've already mapped out the next few weeks here, so be watching.

{H} creatives from Santa Clara, United States

Great natural framing here, pal...nicrly done. And what a magnificent building that you have captured. Hope you are having a blessed Sunday. Cheers!

22 Jul 2007 6:43pm

@{H} creatives: What can I say, but thanks... you are a real encourager. Blessings to you.

Aayawa from Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Very nice picture. I see what you mean about a sepia version.
Why not also try digital hand colouring?

22 Jul 2007 7:41pm

@Aayawa: Be looking in about three weeks and I'll post my sepia version; it's cropped and a little different but still quite recognizable. I prefer it to this version, but I like this one too. Thank you for the compliment.

Rebel Streetshooter from NYC, United States

Nice image Viewfinder.

22 Jul 2007 7:45pm

@Rebel Streetshooter: You are most kind, mon ami.

Evie from Fairfax, United States

Nice use of the trees to frame this. It appears to be a beautiful building.

22 Jul 2007 8:36pm

@Evie: Thank you Evie; it is a very beautiful cathedral in an eye-catching setting.

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

When you do go back...they you will absolutely need a HUGE memory card. Between the buildings, baskets, landscapes and people...it's incredible. I have a some shots in my portfolio from late last year and early this year...can't wait to go back again! They have a photography tour, but I have no idea if it's any good...I like to just wander myself.

22 Jul 2007 10:05pm

@Jen: That's what I want to do -- wander around and get a photographic "feel" for everything. That takes time; those tours are sometimes too structured for that kind of slow meandering.

Daniel from Scranton, United States

I agree....The framing is excellent

22 Jul 2007 11:14pm

@Daniel: Thank you Daniel, this is a nice compliment. Blessings.
