Diagonalesby ~PhilipLim

Photography / Urban & Rural / City Life

The Bon Secours church is right next to the Bon Secours market in Old Montreal. One enters the church by the side door, walk along a long corridor and find oneself confronted by the Bon Secours nuns. "No sister, I don't want to visit the Bon Secours museum, I want to go up in the church tower!" I paid the fees and soon found myself walking over what I thought were flimsy catwalks. A touch of vertigo! I breathed slowly and regain a modicum of control. When I finally reached the bell tower, the scene was so beautiful that all sensation of physical threat disappeared. I shot quite a few pictures but this one is my favourite!

I would like to see a bit more contrast but never the less it is an excellent shot!

extremely clean, but not boring composition. The light-pole and even the walking man have a classic look which make this picture impossible to date. Good work.
Also, it has my favourite square format! Does it mean you work on Rolleiflex sometimes?

You should please us with some technicalities in your pictures!

The photograph somehow instantly reminded me of Hitchcock. In fact it reminded me of the opening shot in "Rope" where if I remember correctly we look down on a street and see Alfred Hitchcock walk along the street in his cameo. This was before I had read the description where you mention the fact this shot was taken from a church tower which reminded of Hitchcock's "Vertigo".
