Description

The basilica of Notre-Dame (Our Lady) of la Treille in situated in Lille, a big town in the North of France, very near Belgium. It is of neo-gothic style. Its building began in 1854 and ended in 1999, nearly one century and a half after. Its frontage is not an opaque wall: the central part of it is made of 110 white marble plates which are sustained by a metallic skeleton, allowing the sun rays to enter the building. When the sun shines, it is simply marvelous! I dedicate this picture to Réal (MagikUnicorn). Best viewed full size. All comments welcome.

La basilique de Notre-Dame de la Treille est située à Lille, grande ville du Nord de la France, très près de la frontière avec la Belgique. Elle est de style néo-gothique. Sa construction s'étendit sur près d'un siècle et demi, de 1854 à 1999. Sa façade n'est pas un mur opaque: sa partie centrale, constituée de 110 plaques de marbre blanc soutenues par une structure métallique, laisse entrer la lumière extérieure. Lorsque les journées sont ensoleillées, c'est merveilleux! Je dédie cette image à Réal (MagikUnicorn). Cliquez sur l'image pour en apprécier les détails. Vos commentaires seront les bienvenus.

Techdata: Nikon D50 with Sigma 4-5.6/10-20mm at shortest focal length (103° diagonal angle), 1/13s at f/6.3 hand-held, 800 ISO. Slight improvement of highlights plus sharpness increase in Lab Mode on the Grey Channel, in Photoshop CS3 Extended.

Note: When I took this image, I was with friends who were not at all interested by photography, therefore time was lacking for me to be mindful of everything. I took great care to show the reflexions on the ground, but not at the column on the left! Hence the important error in the composition of this picture. I am also conscious that the highlights are burnt. But because this photo seems me pleasant, I made the choice to share it with you.

Lorsque j'ai pris cette image, j'étais avec des amis non-photographes et manquais de temps. J'ai été attentive à ce qu'on voie les réflexions sur le sol, mais pas à la colonne de gauche. Cette image a donc un important défaut de cadrage. Mais comme par ailleurs elle me semble jolie (même si les hautes lumières en sont brûlées), je vous la partage.

not always easy to compose a shot inside of a basilica but I think you done a really good job.if you had moved over to force the reflection to the column then part of the far wall would not be visible.still you must of used a very wide angle lens
