Presbyterian Memorial Church - St. Augustine...

[Steve5D]

I've been wanting to shoot this church for some time, and finally made it happen today.

The church was built by Henry Flagler, back in 1889, as a memorial to his daughter who died during childbirth.

The docents were a little dicey about me using a tripod, but relented after I pointed out that I was the only one in the church and that I would be sure to be mindful of anyone else who might come in.

Anyway, here are a couple of shots from the day:

1.

1 looks the best to me. Pretty building. you seem to be lacking some symmetry in these and have a cut off in 3, I like pretty churches anyway so they have my "blessing" who cares about the critique. lol. well, you shot it. Plan on attending?

 

[Steve5D]

To borrow a phrase from Dr. Robert Langdon: "Faith is a gift I have yet to receive". Ergo, I'm not likely to be in attendance on Sunday mornings. I certainly appreciate classic architecture, though.

On some I was going for symmetry, on others I was specifically trying not to be symmetrical. The way the pews are set up here, it makes using a tripod a challenge.

I definitely need something wider. I was using my 24-70mm f/2.8L, and it got close, but not nearly close enough...

I was there in March, when I went down for Bike week. That is a beautiful building. You did a great job of representing it.

Very nice indeed, I would have done my comp's a little differently but processed for the same look.

Beautiful Steve. I would attend a church like this just to see the art work of that church. The Craftsmanship of work is unreal.

Well either I haven't... Or I have and I don't remember. My memory is pretty horrible.
