St Faith's Church

This April I am revisiting shots I took in my first month here on 365 mainly to see how my composition and ‘auto’ skills have changed. I have put a hyperlink to the original photo here and if you have time you can have a quick peek.

St Faith's is part Saxon, Norman and Victorian restoration and is built on Roman foundations! It's in the town centre and appears to have an active congregation and every November 11th its walls and memorial cross are covered in poppies.

My get-pushed this week is black and white architecture.
@francoise Hi, I don't live near high-rise buildings (which is what Google gave advice on photographing) so have adapted the tips I got to get the oldest building in the town. Hope SC affect ok, it was so dull otherwise as, per usual, on my day off it was dull and raining!!

@evalieutionspics thank you, going on Mr Google for tips seems to have worked!!

I prefer last year's shot too. There's more interest and colour and I like the contrast in time scale between St Faith's and Dr Who's time machine.

@s4sayer Dr Who (who returns next weekend whoop whoop!!) used a TARDIS disguised as a blue police box!! But yes the contrast between old and new worked and was a fluke (a common theme in my photographs- flukes!)

Oops! My brother was a great Dr Who fan, although not me.

@s4sayer have been an 'avid' since the '60s (sad I know!)

Hi -- I like the selective color (except perhaps on the clock). I used to watch Dr. Who too... just haven't for a while. I think what I like best about this picture is the angle. of the building in the photo frame

Both are interesting. Modern pov vs traditional.

@francoise clock is green, wanted to hint at it!
@joysabin :)

They are both interesting. I like the first because of the inclusion of the telephone box with all its reflections, but I really like the angle and sc of this one - so, once again, on the fence!!
