Saint-Michel de Sillery church replaced the former Jesuit chapel built in Quebec City in 1644. The new building now stands on a headland with an exceptional view of the St. Lawrence River.
Passing through the church parking lot for a night photography session, I took advantage of the sculpture honoring the eight Canadian martyr saints to highlight the full moon.
One of the Jesuits made the task easy for me, as he was already pointing his finger skyward. All I had to do was wait for the right moment to link religion and astronomy. Social media have popularized this kind of technique in photography, but it’s still satisfying to get such a shot.
