Wellington

Posted by Graham Russon (Cape Town, South Africa) on 3 May 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

On the way home from Ceres, we passed through the town of Wellington, at the end of the the main road was this magnificent church. Couldn't get too many shots as I was standing in the middle of a busy road, with the locals yelling and hooting at me.

Beautiful, warm light on the steeple, Graham ... very beautiful. I find it interesting that there's a red light and a no u-turn sign right in front of the church ... as if to say – stop and think about it for there's no turning back! Great shot, Graham!

Despite the hooting you did a great job. Ten to six (5:50) and the evening sun is just catching the church.

This is a beautful architectural shot Graham, and you've captured the light so cleverly. An excellent shot.

Not good to anger the locals! Glad you made it outta there alive :0p I really like the orange "spotlight" on the steeple. I assume it is from the sun.

I like the light on the top of the church. I suppose that this Wellington is in South Africa and not New Zeland?

I like the lighting and the stoplight. Good job on standing your ground and getting the shot.

It's a nice view Graham, but it seems ever so slightly blurred, or maybe a bit out of focus, although if you were standing in the middle of a street, I can't really fault you!

@DaveB: Thanks Dave, yes it was a bit blurry. I also forgot to sharpen for web, as the A3 compression loses something.
