Kind Hearted Kevelaer-1
Kevelaer is my village of choice to stay at when I have to visit my companies factory in Geldern, while the streets may be complicated to navigate through it is a very beautiful village and home to one the most famous pilgrimage Churches in the region.
I always try to stay around the Basilica as it is in the heart of the Altstadt and after 6 pm when I usually arrive from work there is ample parking when the pilgrims have left for the day, parking can be a considerable problem given that there are over 1 million visitors to the Church every year in a village that has a population of just over 28,000.
On the sacristy side of the church you will find this alcove that leads into the Brunnenhof or the Confessional Chapel, one of my favorite places to photograph and I always try to find some interesting light for a shot of the interior of the courtyard.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens at 24mm 0.5, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, Topaz Denoise, PS (Lumenzia curves masks and DXO Nik Color Efex)
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
