St James Church

The church where we have participated in seniors exercise for the past two years, is quite lovely. It's not large, and that leads to some photographic challenges, but I really wanted to see what I could get.

In fact, I had asked for permission more than a year ago but things keep slipping my old mind.

I finally did it this week.

Even with my wide angle lens as wide as can be, I had trouble getting the shots that I wanted. In both these shots, I would have liked to get more of the ceiling,

I think I know what to do next time — take two or more photos and stitch them together in post. This may or may not work, but I think it is worth trying. Nothing ventured and all that.

Looking toward the back. As you can see there are plenty of stained glass windows along the side, but I didn't get around to them in the time that I had.

I was intrigued with the choir loft, however, although I think it was referred to by another name when I talked to the person in charge.

While I am pleased with that photo, I am more pleased with the one below with the reflection of the window showing clearly in the piano.

That was it for that time-limited shoot, but I do want to return because I rather enjoyed the shoot, and I am happy enough with the results.
