Light in the Cupola by maggiemae

Light in the Cupola

A frustrating day - everything seemed to go wrong and I couldn’t put it right! Mainly computer and iPhotos.
I have to consider what is important.
Got this photo of our Catholic Basilica’s cupola with the low winter sun getting in the window.
There was a plethora of electricity lines in this shot. I removed them and now the whole area has no power!
Three good things;
1. The sun was right in my face but I didn’t seem to get sunspots.
2. Got some new batteries delivered which will enable us to use remotes from anywhere. The old ones died.
3. Three good books from the library - the real one!
You get days like that!! Nice looking cupola with the light shining through the windows.

It cleans the photo up nicely!

The original had 14 power lines right across it! I have a magic wand called Clone! @radiogirl @gardenfolk

@grammyn I was actually puffed when I had finished, Katy - needed a rest and some chocolate!

those power lines... i drive past this church most days and yes those lines spoil an otherwise majestic building and photo op... my favourite place is to go up on the street behind it, then you get the town, sea, clouds etc instead of the ugly lines!

@maggiemae LOL! Good for you!

Good shot Maggie- I'm sure the city can survive without electricity for one shot.

Thanks Jodie but I wanted to capture the light shining through the cupola's windows which is only seen from below. Its a majestic building! @jodieblampied365

@maggiemae i've taken one at sunrise which gives a golden/red glow thru the windows. i'd gladly share with you if you could share your email or number?

@seattlite I won't have to do 3 Hail Mary's now do you think, Gloria! Thats if they still do that!
June 26th, 2018  
This is beautiful!

@maggiemae I might have to try that one since I do not have photoshop.
June 26th, 2018  
@gardenfolk I don't have the patience for photoshop so gratefully get other options!
