St John's Cathedral, Brisbane

[Manta]

My first attempt - be gentle.. I wanted it dark and moody, emphasizing the brilliance of the light through the window.

I think you've done a fantastic job.. waaaaay better than anything I managed to get while I was there.... its not quite dark and moody though.. but it looks warm and inviting.. and the light coming through the window and spilling onto the floor adds a nice touch also.. there is loads of detail in the brickwork too...

I likes it....

Thanks Sue - appreciate your comments!
I might try desaturating the pillars and just leaving the centre colouring.

Hi Manta,

if I may, I hope I'm not hijacking your thread: here is the ceiling of a Cathedral in Frankfurt.
Doohhh, the dude on the right side may be me, (these wide angle 12-24 mm, you gotta watch them )

Well if you do be sure to post it so that we can see the results..

That's pretty trippy Christian!

Bit too light and..well...PINK for my normal tastes as far as Cathedrals go but I know Germany's got it's fair share of dark sombre architectural masterpieces too.

I love it Simon,
Yeah the window is blown out but the overall cast with the green shadow looks great!

[Big Red]

i like the detail and the warmth you have acheived ... way better then the dark that i managed.

Like the photo but being a church with a long tunnel and a bright light at the end I was wondering if St Peter was waiting at the end for me! Stay away from the light!

I doubt he was waiting for me Ben.... unless it was to say "I think you missed the turnoff."

Fantastic Simon. I love the texture in the brick.
