Manny @ DENMARK, a photo from Nordjylland, West

Photographer's Note

The "sand up" church - or solitude church

I’m glad to present a follow up photo to the latest posted by Manny – a sure contribution to the theme photographer at work.

Near the city Skagen can a solitude church tower be seen – I was build as part of a traditional Danish Church around 1375, for the people living nearby and served so for many years. In 1775 was it almost covered by a drifting sand dune (same destiny as for the houses around). It was given up as church in 1795 and in 1810 was the church room destructed, but the tower was kept as a seamark – which it also have served for centuries.
The “church” actually used in the summertime for open-air services.

Thanks a lot for the meeting – I was glad you had the good weather with you to Denmark – but it seems you took it with you when you left for Norway and Sweden ;-)))

Iso 80 - F/5.6 - Shutter 1/640 - After seeing the bright photo taken by Manny, should I may be have done some more PP here.

A view from the tower can be seen here and here.

very nice image jeppe, good composition and lighting, although i think the building is a little too over exposed? i like the couple sat down in the picture too, it adds something extra to it, especially with one in white and one in black! well done nice capture!

Hi Jeppe. This is great use of a leading line. The cloudless blue sky really makes the shot for me. I also like the saturated colors. Well done Jeppe.

Hi Jeppe! Looking at your photos and Manny's photos - it seems the two of you really enjoyed your adventures! Good colors, lighting and sharpness! Good addition to the theme! rgds.

Awesome shadow and a very good model too.
The semi triangle formed by manny and his shadow almost seem like a repetion of the shape of the church.

Nice colors the white against the sky is fantastic.

Hi Jeppe,
Yes, I had seen the photograph of manny, but I find these better, the church come better out of. Also the sharpness and clarity its superb. The contrast between the white church and the blue sky its splendid.
Best regards,
John.

Hi Jeppe. Nice supplementary photo to Manny's posting. Good framing where again the silhouette of the photographer is well included to point towards the white tower. I also like the storytelling in terms of Manny's use of wide-angle lens - your photo shows he is actually standing relatively close to the tower, whereas his photo gives a slightly different perspective. Good shot.

Hi Jeppe, A good friendship picture. It looks that this is not Manny's style. He does portrait most of the time. This one caught him in a different mission.
A well captured picture with nice contrast. I like the layout with the long shadow.

Nice shot Jeppe, I like it all the more having seen Mannys photo too! Good choice of using this angle, having the church on one side and Manny on the other doing his work!

What makes it even more interesting is how much closer the church seems to us in this photo than in Mannys, i think due to his lens.

Well done I like a lot! : ) to follow

Hi Jeppe - a well balanced and wonderful composition, very good light, and brilliant idea to have the photographer at work, interesting architecture.

john_c (24666) 2005-08-11 20:44

Hi Jeppe,
A well composed scene rendered with clarity and good colour. I like the large format. The photographer nicely provides balance on the right of the scene and for once a photographer's shadow enhances rather than detracts from a photo! Great capture.

Hi Jeppe

An unusual house with a good lead in line from the textured path, which provides a subtle linear perspective. Good to see Manny in action too. Well done.

Xalkida (11744) 2005-08-14 20:13

Hm, a very unique shot showing Manny at "work"... I like the idea and the execution. Very nice.

feather (51130) 2005-08-16 17:21

On the thumbnail it looked like somewhere in Greece. Good idea for youe photo. Good composition. Excellent work

Hi Jeppe.
Nice composition for this church with a very unusual architecture (at least for us, southern people !). The crop choice is particularly interesting and the presence of the photographer is more than a detail. Nice colors and contrast, as most often in your album. Thanks for sharing !

milloup (1829) 2005-08-24 18:48

Minder fra barndommen - jeg har en onkel i Skagen ;-)
God POV etc på dette foto, dog på grænsen til overbelyst i toppen af kirken, men det ved du vel ;-)

dsidwell (9783) 2005-08-29 15:31

I'd heard that you two had gotten together. What a fun time, Jeppe! This does indeed show the photographer at work. I love how the church and photographer balance each other nicely in the frame. Nice vivid colors, too!
