Asfordby Churchyard ~ 1

I had a meeting over near Melton Mowbray this morning. While driving back to the office I went through Asfordby and noticed how photogenic the church looked in the light.

I stopped for 10 minutes to take today's shots.

More shots to follow in my other albums.

Thanks for the great feedback on my shots over the last few days. I was awarded my 3000th Fav yesterday. It always delights me when someone likes one of my photos enough to fav it. I would never have dreamed that it would have happened 3000 times when I set out in this journey 2 years ago.

I am slowly catching up with all your projects again after the challenges of last week. I hope to be fully caught up by the end of the week.

Looks nice when you press the big button.
Wow! Amazing shot!

Lovely range of tones and an interesting viewpoint. Great use of the wide-angle lens.

Cool B/W processing. The sky is particularly dramatic.

Another great shot and congratulations on all your favs :-)

Brilliant sky detail in this, the cloud trails work really with the wide angle
January 14th, 2014  
Gorgeous church. Love the sky!
January 14th, 2014  
Great shot love the pov and clouds.

Sean this is a fav for me. Love the b&w treatment and most especially the clouds behind it that look like they are radiating from the church. You spent a good ten minutes.
January 14th, 2014  
Fantastic sky detail.
January 14th, 2014  
Fav Sean this is my kind of shot!!! Love it
January 14th, 2014  
Congrats on all those faves Sean...I have only 800 & odd...you deserve them all.
Great looking church here & the wispy sky almost like heavenly rays coming out of the place.....lots of history there.
January 14th, 2014  
Hey Sean....great work. Worth stopping for. Great composition too. Big tick!
January 14th, 2014  
Congrats on your favs. Love the look of this, it's almost standing out of the shot and fab cloud look, streaming away. Is this effect just from wide angle lens or special processing.

I think you'll have to set up another business Sean, selling your photographs. Great perspective on the church and the sky is very dramatic.

Beautiful shot, that's a wonderful sky, really suits the B&W
January 14th, 2014  
@jennywren a bit if both Jen. By slightly under exposing the shot and using a circular polariser I was able to create a lot of detail in the sky. Then by processing in SFX Pro and using the full contrast preset it really lifts the detail out of the sky.
January 14th, 2014  
Love the effect on the sky. Very nice, my friend!
January 14th, 2014  
Great shot...I really like your other shot you posted with the headstone upfront too...the tonal range in this shot is superb!
January 14th, 2014  
Fantastic shot!
January 14th, 2014

How beautiful this looks especially the sky, a lovely capture.
January 14th, 2014  
The sky makes this extra special - very addition to the older architecture!
January 14th, 2014  
Love this - the sky is amazing. And 3000 favs that's incredible - well done and well deserved

@paulaw sadly no Paula, but I do love a D&M pie from their shop in Melton.

@ccb I think you have Rosy coloured spectacles Celia. Good news on the windows front, so I think we got away with it ;-)
January 14th, 2014  
Excellent b& w, Sean
January 14th, 2014  
Another beauty Sean, I agree with those about the sky, makes the image for me.
January 14th, 2014  
Super mono of the church, and super sky too. 3000 favs - wow!!!
January 14th, 2014

This looks fabulous from your POV and using the 10mm lens. great stuff!
January 16th, 2014  
This is really beautiful. Love the sky and how you processed it. fav
January 16th, 2014  
I like the pov and the clouds trending toward the building seem to suggest a connection to heaven.

The church alone is a find, but the addition of that sky makes this shot wonderful. Fav.
