On the inside- St. Paul Church

 
The stained glass windows are a defining feature of this church- they're absolutely fantastic! I had to experiment a lot with aperture for this shot because of the contrast between the almost ivory of the walls and the light coming through the windows. To limit the light coming through the glass I made sure my aperture was high enough to get a clear image without the walls being completely black. I then proceeded to change my shutter speed so that I could still get the clear image of the glass, but make sure the colors came out more from the glass and so the ivory walls would stay lighter.

I took this shot to capture the symmetry of the church. The old organ sits in the center and the pews and columns come down on either side. Because of my location, the columns appear to be set out width wise, while they are in fact set in a front line coming towards me, the photographer.



Again, these shots show the pure beauty of the church and give it a somewhat abstract appearance.




These next 3 shots are my absolute favorites from the day.
