Here's the original color version.

Splendid capture, very strong moody shot. The light gives it the ominous feel of the Hitchcock style of scene. Be well, Stan :)

I just love these old churches! Fantastic and eerie look to it. Great composition, you are doing so excellent!


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:97660} 7/23/2008
A good and balanced composition, Brigitte, and that foes for the lighting too. The latter has introduced the necessary "darker" look and feel that fits your subject very well. The church stands in good contrast, especially against the black trees at its left, and carries a lot of good details for enhancing its main role here.

But why did those Moivre patterns appeared on the tower right under the top of the church? From what I can see they were not there on the original. At the same time, both on the B&W and also on the original, the contour regions of the top of the tower or the roof of the church both show much more noise than for the example the rest of the sky. This noise doesn't appear on the contour regions of the vertical walls of the church. So, what happened here? Did resizing/sharpening/smoothing introduced those artefacts?

Still a very good work!

Great moody photo! It works in color as well, but the black and white gives it just a bit more drama. Nice job on the composition too!

I am always fascinated with old churches and you did a great job capturing this one! Well done.

Briggy,

Well you could have shot it @ 1/500 with ISO 200, or 1/125 with ISO 100 to reduce the grain. Understanding the coloration between ISO, shutter speed and your f/stop is a bit confusing...

It's really easy though! If you change 1 the other two change!
