Places of worship

[keyseddie]

Inspired by Steve 5D's image of the church in Savannah, I thought about my fave church, Santa Maria Assunta, in Siena. I was there last October, one of the better times to visit Toscano. Post some churches, synagogues, mosques or other images regarding the fascinating subject of organized religion. I'm not a big fan of WA lenses but in European cities, they are a must.

I used a tilt shift lens to get the alignment correct.

Hmm, interesting subject! Perhaps a mod can move it to Photo Themes?

Here's one. Can't remember the name of the abbey but it's in Normandy.

And here's one of the red church in Ljubljana. Yes, it's a black and white picture of a red church (I would have shot it in color but I had TriX loaded.)


Day 219 - B&W Ljubljana at night by limrodrigues, on Flickr

I have more but some of my favorites will need to be scanned in.

Not grand, but here's my church:

It seems appropriate to include the name and location if possible. Old churches do seem to lend their graces to b&w, don't they. I've never done much with b&w. The b&w guys always seemed poor. However, this image was a trash item in color so I messed with it in Silver Efex Pro this morn. Don't think I did a great job but I think it may convey the spookiness of the gargoyles. Have at it for c&c. In early morn, the sun streams down the street and illuminates just the heads of the monsters on the wall.
Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris.

No places of worship on a Sunday? Here's an old one from the nineties. Interior of the Church Of The Holy Sepulcher in Bethlehem. Scanned from the print if I recall. Jesus was born in the manger which is just to the left of these spooky guys.
