Tricky shot of an old church
We have a wonderful old church in town, but it is situated in a spot
that make getting a good photo hard. Today I got one that I am pretty happy with. This is the view of the church from across the street, as you can see there are power lines everywhere and very little room in the churchyard. http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/27837752/large A very wide angle shot is needed with perspective correction, this is what I got today. http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/52319986/original The black rectangle is a crop area the 100% view of it is here. http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/52319988/original This is a 75 MP image with lots of detail, something I was going after. To view the whole image you can go here, this uses Zoomify, which lets you pan and zoom http://www.sewcon.com/church/ Scott |

Well there are aspects of the photo that I am not totally happy with, like the cars in the foreground, but it is hard to ask them to be moved for the photo. Then the sun is too high for a really good photo, but there are large trees to the south that shade the church when the sun goes down even a bit. But over all I was happy to get a shot that pretty much shows of a beautiful church that is vary hard to capture in a photograph. Scott |

Hi Scott
I agree with the cars in the foreground - they are very distracting which is a shame because the church is attractive as you say. I think the wide angle adds something to the photo anyway. Particularly with the partly clouded sky. Overall, a good job on a tough picture - but then aren't they the most satisfying? H |

Well Lorem, we'll have to bring you up-to-date. Now that we have digital images, we don't need the moving lens boards of view cameras. We can run processing algorithms on the digital image that do the same thing that the slide and tilt of the lens board did on the old view cameras. If you use the GIMP, try out the "twist" filter. I'm sure that Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, and other programs have similar features. Alan |

H This church is my test, as I get better I get better photos of it. I am sure I will be taking many more photos of it over the years, hopefully with improvement over time. Next time I go to photograph it I hope the cars will be gone, unlikely to get that lucky. Scott |

You cannot replicate the complete functions of a view camera with postprocessing. |
