The light in the Church

I’m struggling ot find the thought to look for a photo. Accounts have gone well but have taken all the concentration I’m capable of!

This is the Basilica in Oamaru with its lovely towers. The late afternoon sun was the light within this cupola and not an internal light. Though I did underexpose this shot.

Three good things;
1. Bought a new pair of shoes and paid the earth but they are so good -Naot - never heard of them- anyone know?
2. My diary that extends 22 years back has proved invaluable! What happened on that day?
3. Watched the making of potato chips on TV - a local Company!

It looks so much like the light is on maggie, beautifully caught & a lovely building too! Not heard of your shoe make but comfy shoes are a great necessity!

I didn't know there was light in this cupola until I downloaded the photo, Pat @happypat .... It was a super zoomed shot.

I like the exposure here giving a hint at the architectural shapes.

[Maggiemae]

@paulaw Yes that was the idea, Paula - i"ve photographed this building before. Thanks for your comment!

[Maggiemae]

@jackie8 I like the word, atmospehere, Jackie! Its what I wanted to show!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Something is about to happen.......... very moody shot Maggiemae!

[Maggiemae]

@ruthmouch Your response intrigues me Ruth! What can I make happen here? A wedding where the bride flies out the window?

[Nina Ganci]

cool night shot

[Nick]

Great shot. Like how the underexposure has made it look like night -time.

[Maggiemae]

@nickspicsnz I did an over exposure too and it was too pale - you couldn't the nice form of the basilica! Thanks Nick!

[Joyce]

Cool shot and use of lighting. It looks like a miniature world.

Lovely light, it brings out the shape of the tower well.

[Maggiemae]

@jennywren Thanks Jen - nice to hear from you!

[Jen Hudson]

@maggiemae sorry for lack of comments, struggling to keep going with it.

[Maggiemae]

@jennywren I hope you can take it easy, Jen and wait till you really want to continue! Life's too short!

[Jen Hudson]

@maggiemae thanks for that Maggie, good advice.

[Richard Sayer]

I really like what you've done here and it's a great example of how you can alter the mood of an image at the point of capture. This is a Fav for me.
