From Beneath the Arch, a photo from North Yorkshire, England

Photographer's Note

Good Morning Everyone,

This photograph was taken from beneath the arch of a coach house and shows the access to the chapel of Giggleswick School Chapel.

The chapel itself is a beautiful building, with a dome. Unfortunately, the sun was very strong and low and as we were not actually allowed access to the grounds, it was impossible to obtain a view which was not overexposed, firing directly into the sun.

Giggleswick School Chapel was a generous gift from an Old Giggleswickian. A fund was set up for Giggleswick School Chapel Fund, to help maintain the building for the future. The School chapel is unusual being a domed building in such a rural setting. It has been a familiar landmark since it was built to celebrate Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee in 1897.

We were able to get a good view of the coach house, see my workshop, with backs to the sun.

I wish you a good weekend, Bev :-)

Hello Bev

Good use of the old stone arch to frame the bg scene and its warm rust red colours contrast well with the blue bg roof. Excellent sharpness and lighting. Tfs!

Hello Bev,
The light was obviously difficult, but I'm not disturbed by the slightly washed out sky. The composition is good enough to move my attention to the arch, the view of the chapel on the hill, and especially to the S-shaped road and steps.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Bev,

You had a good idea to use the arch to frame the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the arch and of the steps. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Good afternoon Beverley,
A good choice of POV to avoide backlight effect, yet managed to show a corner of the chapele up the trail. Green grass and naked trees gave a special winter ambiance to the fairly bright inner yard.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

*** To answer your question: the limestone cliff is constantly being under watch - but nature is stronger, as ever. Thanks.

Hi Bev,so not a lucky light, and i like a lot your solution made in a perspective "Silvio's style" to show a part of school chapel in background,i can still to have a good idea of its architechture. While the best light in the WS offer a perfect view of coach house facade, very bright and sharp. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Bev, very nice photo taken from under the arched gate. I like the S-shaped road and stairs leading to the chapel. Charming composition.

Best regards Malgo

Hello Beverley,
Actually a composition out of necessity.
But a successful one nonetheless.
A full view of the chapel would of course be nice but I understand your forced choice and actually this photo is very balanced.
Best regards, Paul

Hi dear friend Beverley
You have good pictures of traditional British architecture. It shows your good mastery of exposure and composition. congratulations. Thanks for sharing

mkamionka (73316) 2022-01-30 1:41

Hi Bev,
You have a really good eye to spot a good opportunity for the composition here. Not only the arch but the path makes a very pleasant turn and twist in the frame.
Very attractive final effect!

Hi Bev
A really nicely composed shot. Church, path and trees framed very nicely by the arch. Shadows and sunlight very effective.

Hello Beverley, the stone arch makes the perfect frame for the path that leads our eyes towards the chapel.
Tricky light conditions, you managed them well. I like the winter trees silhouetted against the pale sky.
Kind regards, Jean.

I liked mote the WS, but the main post has nice details too. it is a typical english structure. I guess these arches with roofs were useful during the rainy days.

take care

Hi Bev.
Wonderful perspective, very well used the entrance door and the arch, which marks the path to the beautiful building on the top, the grass gives a nice touch of color and the trees a magnificent graphic.
Very good photo of the WS with the outside and the entrance through the arch.
A fantastic photo, with beautiful natural colors, very good lighting and excellent sharpness.
Very well done. I love it.
Enjoy the weekend.
Very best regards.
Luis.
