Yesterday's pic was inside St. Patrick's Cathedral. Today we are outside. This shot is from behind the Atlas statue across Fifth Avenue in Rockefeller Center. I like the way this looks like he is walking with the weight of the world on his shoulders towards St. Pat's. (*Looks Best Large for Details*).
I spoke too soon. Voila, here is the outside. I love this statue outside that does look like it is walking towards St. Patrick's Cathedral. The outside of the cathedral is breathtaking. I love the detail and beauty of this Cathedral, Michael. FAV
I may have stood in that spot more than once and never took that shot... how dumb am I? Beautiful Michael, also one for the book.
Also, how do i find the meetup thread of which you speak?
@elizabeth264 - no its a reg lens (though I did get a wide angle for my B'Day today). I think the effect was achieved because I was positioned recessed back in an alcove between the bldgs so the sight lines were drawing in. I wanted that look to frame up and angle in towards the church.
@elizabeth264 - thx very much. I think yes but probably more of the side bldgs would be present and need to be cropped to keep focus on church. Again though it was mainly due to being crouched low and angling camera up and the lines were running that way to begin with that really brought out that effect.
Oh Michael you have outdid yourself with this one!! Love the Composition..I have a similar shot but not as Beautiful as this!! The Detail is Brilliant!! So much a FAVE!!!
