Here are some more photos I took inside the Eglise Notre-Dame de Nanteuil. This is how my camera saw things. I'm not sure my own vision was any clearer. It was so dark and cold in there at 10:30 a.m. on that gray day, and I was having an allergy attack.
The first photo shows a representation of the crucifixion of Christ, I believe. The colors are nice. The photos are examples of what someone might call le flou artsitique — the artsy blur.

As I remember them, the windows were striking and modern-looking. I'll have to go take a second look at them and try to shoot some clearer photos. The one below seems to depict something like "Christ is risen" — I think I can see a halo.
I'm not sure what the last photo shows but, again, the colors and shapes are nice. I couldn't have taken these on purpose if I had tried, and I'm not even sure that Photoshop could give this effect.
I took other photos of stained glass over at the Eglise Notre-Dame de Nanteuil, and those came out crisp and clear. And kind of boring, in an academic way. Maybe the windows I'm showing here really looked like the photos. I don't think so, but then it could be that my memory is affected by some kind of flou artistique.
wow it is masterpiece
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is probably just too blurred, but I like the first and the third photos.
DeleteI cheated a little by going back and running that second blurry photo through a Photoshop filter that I like. So now it looks better, according to me.
DeleteOn screen these photos look really nice; on paper, I don't think they would. They look like stained glass windows look to me if I take my glasses off.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Ellen. I was having an allergy attack that day, so my eyes were itchy and teary. The camera obviously empathized.
DeleteYour sister could have used these in her shop- would make people want better vision lol! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteEven the customer wearing the perfect glasses would say these pictures are blurry.
DeleteThe colors are beautiful and really capture the feel of the light coming throuh.
ReplyDeletePretty amazing what people could create before the advent of modern technology.
Ha!
ReplyDeleteSuch great distribution of colors, though. Stained glass -- love it!
I'll post the other photos of stained glass that I took and then you'll see. Stay tuned.
