Yale University, a photo from Connecticut, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Yale University is a private research university in New Haven, Connecticut, and a member of the Ivy League. Founded in 1701, Yale has produced many notable alumni, including five U.S. presidents, nineteen U.S. Supreme Court Justices, and several foreign heads of state.

As many as 38 Nobel prize winners have been affiliated to Yale either as a student, Post-Doc or faculty. This years Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to Thomas A. Steiz (a faculty at yale) and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan (a post-doc from yale, currently at LMB, Cambridge).

I am very humbled to be a part of this great institution and here, I tried to capture a daily life shot of the campus.

Hello Shaeri
I remember your autumn photo from a while back, you took it along your street..yes?
There are many great qualities to this photo.
lets start with the compo. The university is quietly placed in a shy manner amongst the tree tops, and is framed as if its being protected.
The lighting is warm and soft, varying from dark to bright.
the concrete walkways add patterns and depth to the foreground.
This is an all around fabulous photo
I like many of your other works as well.
Keep them coming
Cheers
Craig

Hello Shaeri,

The environment of this prestigious university, which came out of famous people is really nice. The fall colors are beautifully enhanced architecture that institution. Besides, as I like this photo and your look, I allowed me a WS to give it more impact. I hope you will like.

With all my friendships and soon

Hi Shaeri
A nice pleasent shot of this wonderful istitution. Well composed with the triangle formed by the pathways. It reminds me of the Tower of London with the four steeples. Congratulations for being accepted to work there. That is quite a feather in your cap. When were you thinking of running for president? ;))

Lovely fall colors as fall is in CT the best season of the year! Great synthesis that includes nature and architecture!
