[SI] Steeples are up and ready for viewing
Greetings from teh Big Giant Head.
The latest Shoot-In gallery, Steeples, is available for viewing: http://www.pbase.com/shootin/steeples Thanks to all those who contributed! When I chose this mandate, it was a bit myopic, honestly, since not every area of the US or the world is a heavily populated with steeples as is New England (or England, from the looks of it...). Nevertheless, the shooters found a way. For you newbies, the Shoot-In is a monthly exercise where you shoot photos to fit a mandate. For more information, please visit the rulz page he http://www.pbase.com/shootin/rulzpage The instructions for submitting photos are there, along with other pertinent information. I'll be posting a new mandate soon, one designed to truly challenge you. Hint: it's a re-run. Watch this space. |

Comments Cooper very simple , I do like the refection of both. Tim1 This needs some colour correction and that wire removed Tim2 this again needs some tidying or a much cropped shoy to isolate the subject matter (TV and Lamp) Tim3 again I would not have tried to include the cables unless you are trying to convey a message. Bob1 Yep this is what we see nowadays its there buried Bob2 Clean and simple Bob3 This has far more impact that the previous shot Matha 2 I prefer this to the #1 Peter Atlanta old - I keep trying to focus on this one, Is it movement or something else? Savage duck 03 I can't aspire to that one SD 01 I do like the composition and it tells a story SD 02 same again tell that story. DanP 01 its just there but I would have preferred that there be light (more) on the steeple as that is the subject matter. DanP 02 good contrast between the stack and the steeple is that ying and yang? |

Savage duck 03 I can't aspire to that one As I said in my accompanying note I was trying for a spire/steeple metaphoric analog. ....and puns aside you can certainly "aspire" to a similar shot. Just plan a trip to California which avoids L.A., but includes Kings Canyon-Sequoia National Park, and Yosemite NP. Don't forget to bring a camera along. SD 01 I do like the composition and it tells a story SD 02 same again tell that story. That is the Franciscan Mission San Miguel. It is one of the chain of Spanish missions which stretch from San Diego in the South to San Francisco in the North. They are usually separated by one to two days horse ride. Both towers are part of the original 1793 construction. This particular mission went through many dramatic changes after it was abandoned by the Franciscans when the Mexican government took a decidedly anti-clergy stance. It was taken over by a family in the 1830's to serve as a "ranchero". Eleven members of that family were slaughtered in a raid by "banditos". Another part of the tale is that it was also raided by legendary bandit Joaquin Murietta. About the time California became a state, 1849, the mission San Miguel was fashioned into an Inn and brothel. That was closed by a fire. A restoration was funded by the US Government in the early 1920's and the mission was handed back to the Catholic Church in the 1930's. It has been run and administered by Franciscan ever since. In 2003 we had a magnitude 6.5 earthquake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Simeon_earthquake which brought down buildings in nearby Paso Robles, and severely damaged the mission and the adobe brick bell tower. In the restoration from earthquake damage they did not replace the original sun baked brick, so the white patches in my shot indicate where original bricKs were not available to complete the restoration. -- Regards, Savageduck |
