Description

f/16, ISO 100, 30sec, 105mm - and that all in JPEG.
A single exposure back from the days when I knew nothing about RAW nor HDR.
And I think that the quality is not that bad after all.

More info about the cathedral can be found here: http://www.koelner-dom.de/index.php?id=2&L=1

Beautiful image. I personally like the reality of non-HDR, of highlights and shadows, and this works very well. Nice silver and blue tones. Well done!

I have also been there, though I have nothing nearly as beautiful to remember the trip by. I climbed that narrow, winding staircase all the way up to the top - what a view. You've done an amazing job capturing the Kölner Dom, not only as architecture, but as art and as icon. I especially love the bridge to the right, alluding to another German icon, the Rhine. I wish I'd had a DSLR when I was there in 1995... great work! - jason

It brings back so many wonderful memories of a beautiful city, great friends and many, many Kölsch biers!

Perspective makes this an interesting photo, especially how it works in conjuction with the contrast between lit cathedral and dark blue sky. Upper portion is stronger than that of the lower because in lower it seems busy with bright colors verses silhouetted areas. Still a well done job.

Great image, is it leaning to the right very slightly?
Love the photo...

@AH: Many have thought so. I threw about 20 guiding lines into the image and came to the conclusion that it's an opical illusion or (rather) due to perspective.

Had that bridge not been there, I would say that the image was too centered. The inclusion of the brightly light bridge makes this image artistic. It's excellent. I would love to be able to see the detail in a full-res version of this photo.

Beautiful black level and amazing breadth of color...the image is pixelated towards the top...I assume that's just from the compression on the digital image? Hope it's not my monitor.

Great job.
