At work

Posted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 20 October 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

It's a tough job, and most of the time you're working alone.

(Church: St. Andreas, Cologne. Got new stained glass windows some weeks ago! Btw.: the Australian solution: don't feed the banks, but those who deserve. Unthinkable in the northern hemisphere.)

Excellent perspective. What a breathtaking place...as usual ;0)

@Tracey: I didn't show the new windows yet - you'll like them!

Fabulous light and detail with excellent color. A fine image.

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks a lot! (Now I know how I'm looking at my favourite hobby.)

Laurent from Lyon, France

I thought you were the only one but you found another one ;o)

@Laurent: That was a touching moment. ;-)

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

What a wonderful composition, and a magnificent place with wonderful light. I can't wait to see the windows.

@MaryB: Thanks, Mary! I'll have to collect some information about the windows, then I'll show my photos. Soon!

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

The light is excellent, very good compo.

@Observing: Thanks, Mike! Some processing was needed, as very bright light was coming from above while the lower regions kept quite dark.

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

I like being alone while photographing, with others around I feel rushed...probably just me.
Lovely shot

20 Oct 2008 11:58pm

@Jen: Me too. :-)

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

Well he's down on his knees, he's picked the right place. The light has quality all over.

@JoeB: I needed to correct it a bit - dark floor and bright light in the upper parts. This guy hampered me a bit as he tried to capture the same places like I tried to.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan

He might be capturing the light on the wall at the bottom with the arches. Nice picture.

@akarui: Thank you! (I learned that two guys taking photos in a church is one too much!)

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

It's only tough, though, if you don't like working alone. I mostly work alone and I consider it a privilege.

@Twelvebit: It's especially tough when you have to kneel down on kneelers without cushions!
Working alone is also okay for me; I'm system administrator and cannot discuss fully every measurement. :-)
