St Marys Church Stainburn
Sep 12, 2012 06:05:52 #
Looking out over Wharfedale (Yorkshire) is this small, rustic 12th century church, which began as a chapel of ease to nearby Kirkby Overblow.
The church was given to Fountains Abbey in the middle of the 12th century.

The building is constructed of gritstone rubble to a very simple layout, with a rectangular three-bay nave, chancel, porch, vestry, and central stone bellcote.
St Mary's is no longer in regular use and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
Its not a spectacular building, buit an attractive one that really exudes a sense of age and history.
Technical:
Taken with Nikon D3s
Nikon 24-70mm lens at 28mm
Metered the scene with a handheld spot meter
Processed in Adobe Photoshop by blending the three R G B Channels together.

Thank you for the comments.
Blending the 3 channels is something I do often when I am working in Black and White because I want to balance the relationship with the Green against the Red and so on.
One thing I see many people doing is simply de-saturating the image completely, which to me is wrong because black and white is all about the tonal relationships between the original colours in the image. Let me try and explain what I mean.
If you have 2 flowers, one green and one blue but both have the same luminance, if you were to de-saturate the image completely, you would end up with 2 flowers of the same shade of grey.

Finally! Could you possibly post a little more often? What beautiful work! And what a fabulous learning experience. You make me want to take a look at the color relationships. Keep them coming. Please.

I'm not much on the technical jargon, Ian, but I'm learning slow but sure. I am fond of history though and appreciate the information you provided.
I looked and looked at that photo trying to glean what caught your interest in that particular image and then I took the time to read the marker. Sacred. Very nicely done.

Good mornin' IanBarber and Melchior912.
I thought a lot about your image, knowing it wouldn't have been as arresting in color.
My wanderings yesterday took me into the public library where Ms. F is assistant to the librarian. She likes me. ;^). They had a donation of books in and she told me she had taken what she wanted and I could take a look see and take what I wanted.
I found a book on digital photography. (I've quite a collection now.) Of course, the first chapter I went to was on digital color where I learned about color models and the difference between RGB and CMYK.
I have an even greater appreciation for your artistic eye.
Yeah, I can jaw with the best of them yet now I know what you are talkin' about.
