During my current sojourn in Goa, I have been giving Canon’s recently released Tilt-Shift 17mm f/4 L lens quite a workout.
The following photograph of Panjim‘s signature landmark was taken at daybreak a couple of days back. A cluster of unseasonal clouds adds character to the backdrop.
The Church of Our Lady of Immaculate Conception began as a shrine in the mid-16th C in what was to much later become Goa‘s capital city. It was rebuilt in the early 17th C and elevated to a church.
Update: See this later post for more on the church.

Looks like there is some editing done on the image. Dodge?
Truly a masterpiece. Great job rajan.
Heavenly.. Blissful!! Good Shot Rajan…
This is truly a Heavenly picture of our Panjim church, which gives me so much of solace…specially the heavenly skies. Truly beautifully captured by Rajan….good work….keep it coming. Arlette
Awesome! Studied and worked in Panjim and have seen the church in all seasons, but this picture is breathtaking! Looks more like a masterpiece from an unknown artist.
Beautifully captured, nice job with the filter.
Awesome picture Rajan. Is that an HDR image?
Very beautiful.
I would say this is the most photographed church of Goa
followed by Bom Jesus (Old Goa) and Saligao Church.
thanks
Wo!! The backdrop of the clouds look apocalyptic. Wonder what the view from an elevated vantage point (perhaps a forklift) would look like.
Very dramatic effect!
Simply Amazing piece of photography.
Breathtaking. Beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you.
