Hagerstown Church

[MarylandMatt]

Thanks to all who stop by and take a look. Extra special thanks to those who critique.

There is indeed a purplish din to it. I think in processing something occured.

 

[BrettG]

I like it, nice angle.

I've been to Hagerstown once before, it was a really neat place. I went there to goto this place called the Will Ruritan (I think that's what it was called) heard of it?

I like it too, especially the texture on the wall. I think that a little more contrast could be added to the sky, though.

 

[Jeff Canes]

Nice composition, would like to see more contrast in the clouds

 

[Nytmair]

ditto... very nice, but needs more contrast in the sky

 

[MarylandMatt]

By contrast do you mean the sky darker than the clouds? Or do you all mean the sky above the church darker period.


BrettG-I think you are referring to the Wilson Ruritan. People have bands come in all the time. the funny thing is yr name is like a punk rock legend who would play the style of music featured there on some weekends...not Mr. Brett of Bad Religion are you haha.

 

[JackTheTripper]

beautiful shot. More contrast please! was also my first thought. (Well, 2nd. First was beautiful shot)

 

[aggiezach]

Nice shot yo! I love the 3d look it has! Besides the tint, I love this shot, I'm a sucker for architectural shot though!

Also the patterns in the sky and on the stone add a lot to this photo. If I have to crtique I would say that maybe the clouds could be burned in a bit more to make them stand out a little, but it may work the other way to and dodge them to get rid of the slight hot spot near the top.

Thanks for sharing!

i was playing around with the shot on PS last night and got it to look pretty nice with some contrast editing and such... do you mind if i post it up later tonight just to see what people think to try and help you out?

 

[MarylandMatt]

Yeah I don't mind. Thanks. I've been playing PS as well. Please do so I'm here to learn and to use what I already know to help others. Thanks!

Haha no I wish I was, otherwise I'd probably be able to afford a better camera.

Bad Religion plays there? Is this the same Bad Religion I'm thinking of? I can't even think of any songs, but they were a pretty big band I thought, and I can't imagine a band with any decent sized fanbase playing at such a tiny place (It's still a great place though, I'm actually going back for a concert in January I think)


I like going to Washington County, it's got some nice scenery there, unfortunately I'm very unfamiliar with it so I don't know of anything but what I've seen on my way to the Wilson Ruritan

 

[Nytmair]

Added contrast to the sky, converted it into black and white becuase the sky with more contrast added had almost a pinkish hue to it.... i personally think it enhances the photo... anyone else?

ORIGINAL

MY EDIT

 

[Algoessailing]

I like it (corrected) a lot, clean up the grain and i'd say fantastic

 

[munkyofdth]

I like it, I may have to go see that church, it looks like a good subject.

 

[JonMikal]
