This image is from this weekend and features the amazingly beautiful St Luke’s Church in Lebanon ,Pa. You would never know it from this photo,but there was a raging snowstorm dropping lots of snow all around me. This side entrance gave me a little cover while I was shooting but I had to continually clean snow off my lens and laptop the entire time. The ride home was about twenty miles and more than once I had to slow to a crawl just to see the road in front with the white out conditions.
The entire entrance,including the lantern were lit using my deer spotlight and without the lit shining,I felt it would not have the warmth I was after. This image took me about 40 minutes to do and I hope to be able to photograph the sanctuary as well,which is stunning. I used a 17 mm to get this wide view but could have used even wider if I had it,plus I lost a little angle when I corrected for the tilt. They sure don’t build them like this anymore. The bottom image shows the general conditions I saw when I began photographing the scene.

Nicely Done !!
Thank you
What a transformation from the bottom pic to the top one!
Yeah,I like trying to bring images to life.thanks
Very nice. Good composition. I think wider would have made it look cavernous. You really have the painting down.
Thanks,it was a real tough area to shoot. i wanted the steeple framed in the opening,but that was impossible with getting the doors.I still struggle with lighting angles,so thank goodness I dont use film anymore.
Great composition and change on using a color shot and a B & W I love the B & W better but both are beautiful. You have a great week and thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us. kat
the bottom is not black and white. its the original color scene.
Now that’s amazing
thanks sandy
