St. Marien, Interior

Posted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 1 July 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Our first view of St. Mary's interior. A few years ago the walls and pillars were painted in the sense of its designer, Joseph Prill. This room creates a reverberaton of at least 7-8 seconds.

Beautiful symetric shot, and the color is wonderful. It's a very bright church - lots of light coming in.

@Observing: I was very lucky last Saturday: no visitors but me, bright sunlight (I've chosen a big ISO though), it was open and I had enough time. I don't need much to have a great day :)

I like it very much!

Such clean lines, makes the eye wander all over the frame.

@JoeB: The right place for explorations on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Kyle from Manhattan, United States

Very beautiful. Nice job with the symmetry, and the colors are luminous.

@Kyle: Thanks, Kyle! Glad to hear that!

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

I have to say this is a very pleasant suprise, the outside of the church is very beautiful, but the inside.......Wow! it's stunning!

@MaryB: Incredible that I ignored this treasure all these years! But now the pleasure is even greater :)

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

Light and airy --perfect for using a Nikon D700.

@Twelvebit: "The new FX-format Nikon D700 full-frame DSLR camera will be available late July 2008, and will have an estimated selling price of $3000 (body only). " (Source)

wow, nice.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan

The white painting gives a more modern feeling. A nice church anyway.

1 Jul 2008 7:23pm

@akarui: In the beginning colours were different (as I've read), but ten years ago this has been changed according to the designer's wishes.

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

I like the clean symmetrical lines and the light! The altar area in the background really draws the eyes of the visitor!

1 Jul 2008 9:47pm

@Japanalia: Fortunately the light was just right :-)

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

Yeah, well, that $3000 price tag is why I won't be buying it any time soon, especially as I already have two dslr bodies and have my eye on a 1080p HD projector for my home theater.

2 Jul 2008 8:39am

@Twelvebit: I think such a projector has a much higher WAF (wife acceptance factor) than an overpriced camera. :)

Michael from Wuppertal, Germany

Die wirklichen Schätze sind eiegntlich immer in der Nähe zu finden, Klasse Foto!
Und wenn´s nicht ne Nikon 700 wird, Olympus soll ja auch ganz gute Fotokäasten bauen ;-)

2 Jul 2008 2:15pm

@Michael: Höhö :-) Nix da, meine Canon benutze ich bis sie auseinanderfällt! Und die nächste SLR gibt's gebraucht. Momentan kann man das ja bei Nikon ganz gut beobachten, wie die Preise für die Flaggschiffe von gestern ins bodenlose purzeln... Aber was Elektronik betrifft, war ich noch nie early adopter, ich hab Zeit... :-)
