New life through old windows.

April 5th: Stained Glass.

Looking through the thousands of photos i've acquired over a few short years, there is only one stained glass window picture in the entire collection - and this is it. This was taken in the South of France back in 2009!!

I've used this shot before, you can find it in my Retro 365 folder should you want to take a peek. That one is also in colour form. I'm not sure if I'm being slightly controversial playing around with it like i have, but i sort of like this spin on it. If anything, I know i need to visit some more chuches, cathedrals and similar places for further shots!

Many thanks for the positive comments on yesterday's shot. I'm still not happy with it and have decided i'll revisit it again when i have the time to. Your support on non inspirational days certainly keeps me pushing forward!

Have a good day everyone :)
Lovely!! I like your effect around the edges :)

Like it. Something about arches that look good in b&w. like how the blurred edges make you really focus on the window

Really pretty. I also like the soft edges, gives it a spiritual feel!

Beautiful!

I agree with Gena, definitely a spiritual feel with the edges. :)

Very cool blur effect, is this in PS or was it real lens zoom effect?

Not controversial at all Darren... love this take on a beautiful window. :-)

Great title!

I do love the blurred effect and the B&W treatment. The blur contrasts beautifully with the sharpness of the stained glass window. Great interpretation.

I like the effect on this as it really makes the stained glass window pop :)

B&W works surprisingly well for the stained glass window.

Well snap for France and snap for I used to have a Finepix camera like that! I'd love to see this in colour - can you give the link?

This (B&W) is something I would never have thought of, and it works so well. Makes it seem almost 3D.
