St Peters, Henleaze

[Stevenson Gawen]

Making up for lost time and enjoying a week off work. (at my own expense )
Went for a walk through Henleaze, a suburb of Bristol, this morning and happened upon this church. Open, but deserted, I was able to spend a very peaceful half hour exploring.

I like the light and colours.

Taken with the Oly E-400 and 40-150mm. Handheld at 1/30th, f3.6, ISO 100 at 40mm (equiv. 80mm in 35mm terms). No stabilisation either, just luck. (and fairly steady hands). Developed in Darktable 4.8


P.S. If you're wondering why I didn't up the ISO, I knew I'd have to lift the shadows massively, as I wanted to retain some colour in the window. The E-400 gets grainy shadows pretty fast so ISO100 it was!

 

[Ralph Turner]

Well done, that man. Not an easy feat by any means...

 

[Gianluca Drago]

Definitely a pleasant distribution of the light!

 

[Peter Roberts]

A very fine shot, Stevenson.
You were lucky to find it open. Most churches tend to be locked these days which is vey sad.

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

Thanks all!

Agreed!

Well, you certainly captured the color of the toys next to the altar...
