Similar thoughts and feelings arose when visiting the Church of St. John the Baptist at Shirkov Pogost in the Tver region. It's also a place of power, but fate has been kind to this unique 45-meter-tall church, built in 1694 without a single nail and known as Tver's Kizhi, and it remains intact to this day.
Igor Pridannikov, Of course. Mine. But you're definitely overreacting here. Both in the sky and in the greenery. Or do you think the grass tone is natural and beautiful? And what about the dead shadows? And why such a large foreground anyway? And what prevented you from moving to the left so the birch tree wouldn't block your wonderful temple? Don't let an idea drown out the general norms of landscape photography. No need for aggressive propaganda.
Igor Pridannikov, Dear Petr! Perhaps I'll repeat myself: this is your opinion, and yours alone! I wasn't planning on getting into a debate, but I'll make an exception. The photo was taken in the fall, in the afternoon, at the end of September. You can clearly see that some of the tansy cones are already brown; the greenery has a slightly different hue by this time, and under certain lighting, it has just that tonality. Regarding the sky—also without color correction. Regarding the change in angle—did it ever occur to you that photographing the temple from further left, as you suggested, would result in the part of the temple above the entrance being lost in the photo. There's no loss in the shadows—I don't use automatic mode on my camera. I think accusing me of aggressively promoting something incomprehensible is, at the very least, absurd! And finally, if you don't like your job, seek guidance instead of lecturing them on how and what to do. Good luck with your work!
