This is the exterior of the cathedral that I photographed and posted this weekend. The diptych shows the man sitting on the steps from two perspectives - on the left, he almost disappears at the left base of the towering structure, and on the right, he is the star.
The tower image was photographed from across the street. The man on the steps was photographed up close, while I was kneeling at the corner base of the steps. He noticed me photographing but didn't seem to care (perhaps thinking I was photographing the stairs only). Much clearer viewed as large as possible, on black.
Thank you for your lovely comments on my two reflection images from the Aeration station. I appreciated your comments and favs and was excited to see them appear briefly on PP.
@golftragic, @888rachel, @newbank, @pamknowler -- I couldn't create three, and this uses the same lens, but I thought this sort of fits our theme of focal length, but using the wide angle for the two shots...the one on the left was open to 14mm on my wide angle lens while the one of the man on the right zoomed to 24mm with that same lens. I didn't take a third one as there wasn't really anything between the two to make it worth it.
Dramatic on black! Hmm . . . there are so so so many churches around me I will have to think about making them interesting to photograph rather than thinking, "another."
I just love the shot of the cathedral from across the street - my kind of urban photography! You have managed to draw out an amazing amount of detail on the man from the previous version which I saw, Taffy - LR, I'm sure. Well done on that!
Nice little collage. Love how you captured the whole building in one shot and another perspective of the stairs. Really gives everything some perspective.
@ericdibosco Definitely improved based on the critique suggestions! It was fun to pair it with the other photo that gives the context for the shot. I'm glad you liked it!
It makes a great collage. I love the light. When you. Jew it on black it's amazing to me how the eyes are drawn to the sheen on his shoes. Maybe there's something wrong with me !!!
This is great Taffy! It works really well! I love how you hardly notice the man in the first shot and then he becomes the story in the second! I didn't think about moving when doing this theme. I was stuck in one spot. Don! I will have another go at this. Thanks - inspiring as always!
I'm so glad you mentioned that this man is in the first shot, as I couldn't see him at first glance. I like how you have focussed in on him for your second shot, and changed the whole focus.
