St. Mang Basilica Füssen
This church is everything else than a "relatively easy to photograph subject". And I like the tiles at the bottom, but it is a matter of taste. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:14, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Concerning the tiles, on second thought, they actually play a useful role. They add a sense of depth, they illustrate that you have taken the photo from another building(?), and the slope fits compositionally well with the street. But why is the subject (which I guess is not only the church, but also its surroundings) "everything else than a relatively easy to photograph subject"? I mean, the object is static, it will be there tomorrow and next year, and the buildings themselves are visually attractive? Is it getting to a good view of the scenary, which is hard? --Slaunger (talk) 07:43, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have added now object and camera location of this shot. Church and complex are located very closly to Castle Füssen so this condition makes it difficult to find a good location showing all relevant buildings without strong distortions. For verifying look at the geolocation and other pictures showing a similar view of the complex. --Wladyslaw (talk) 07:59, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Picture was taken about 4 pm similar to this shot File:Füssen - Klosterkirche St. Mang3.jpg. Waiting longer would mean that the Castle would cast a shadow to this church. Making the picture earlier would mean getting back light. This picture is of course a stitching of several single shots. --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:08, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
because of? --Wladyslaw (talk) 08:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
