THEME DAY: THE TENIN TECHNIQUE • I've posted quite a lot of photos of the Ateneo Church of the Gesù but, until today, never of its side—with air vents rather than regular windows. The angled passageway leads to the corridor just outside the front of the church. Kneeling on a tree root under a large acacia tree to take this photo, you also get a bonus: seeing how dry and brown the crabgrass of our campus gets during the summer months.
Today, the City Daily Photo blogging community pays tribute to Eric Tenin of Paris Daily Photo. Five years ago today, Eric started his one-a-day photo blog of Paris. He has never missed a single day and he has inspired many people from all over the world to create daily photo blogs of their own cities, fostering friendship and understanding along the way. Eric has become known in the community for his low angles and skewed compositions, and our imitation of his style today is our way of celebrating and thanking a wonderful person and a great blog.

fabulous architecture.
daily photos for 5 years is a lot of work. I used to have a project I called People and I posted a pic for 365 days and I missed one on Christmas Day.
Great use of the "techninque". Have a good blog day.
Indeed an incredible angle, providing an impressive photography, which demanded to be looked at more than twice.
A wonderful Thursday for you all.
Yikes! The entire world appears about to topple over today.
Marvellous tribute, Hilda.
I really like this perspective of the church, and I would like to tell you how much I enjoy your daily photos of Manila.
Thanks for the birthday wishes.
Methinks you have mastered the Tenin technique. I tried, but fell down, cricked my neck, sprained my shooting finger, cracked the camera, lost the card down a drain, dirtied my clothes ...
Just kidding.
Beautiful shot, Hilda.
Hilda - how are the acoustics in the church? «Louis» has noticed that in most modern churches, the acoustics are horrible.
Terrific choice.

A beautiful shot of an incredible building. A very nice tribute to Eric.
Oh Hilda, you NAILED it! The brown bermuda grass is a hoot to see so close at hand. Just like Eric, you're down there looking up :-). That angle you've got pulls my eye right up that long line of building to the start of the peek. This is a fantastic contemporary-feeling architectural shot. You rock, girl!

Powerful angle shot. Dramatic.
wow
great photo!!!
thanks for you concern about my country. Chile will get over the earthquake's consequences soon. We all hope that.
Yes, it's a great shot and an impressive church. I like the angle you've selected.
What a great shot and such a lovely tribute to the master. I'm so with Kim, you nailed it!
Fantastic angle, you catched the ground as well :)
So often with Eric it's about the angles and you've got some amazing angles in this one, Hilda. Well done!
great tribute to Eric there Hilda
Magnificent dear Hilda, I love this angle in photographies!

It never occurred to me that this is grass in all its brown glory. Nice shot.
thanks to Eric! .. the brown grass foreground frame makes this subject more gorgeous .... ang ganda naman nito tingnan sa ganitong angulo.
Nice lines and angles -- a perfect contribution to the theme.
Very cool church! And it looks great from the Tenin angle.
Nice one Ms. Hilda. I think you've mastered the technique :)
Very nice, Hilda.
great choice for the tenin theme
Fabulous tribute shot Hilda!
A great image. This wondrous church is a great piece of architecture and an original place of worship.
Beautiful photograph and a fitting tribute to Eric's technique!
Nice interpretation. I love your little 'yellow beetle' too.
"Louis":
It has very good acoustics, but only when you're seated around the middle aisle. And I think it's only because of the sound system that the engineers put in, not because of the church's architecture.
Masterful photograph. M. Tennin would be proud. I am in awe. So well done Hilda.
awesome building and perspective. great for the Tenin theme day
Ah, Hilda, you are spot on with the PDP technique! A perfect tribute!
I love the lines of this photo!
Thank you for showing wonderful scenery.
Happy weekend.
From the Far East.
Best regards.

So many interesting angles here and your point of view is very "Tenninesque". Well done, Hilda, and thanks for your kind comments at QDPB.
Excellent composition.
Great composition, Hilda!
Hilda, this is an absolutely wonderful shot. I hope Eric will see it and read your tribute.
Great use of the "techninque". Have a good blog day.
