B&W February: Church of Saint Pierre

I had a meeting in the city of Rennes this evening about 45 minutes drive away, a journey that takes me through the town of Plélan-le-Grand about 10 kms from home. This is the parish church of Saint Pierre in Plélan, pictured on my way home, about 3 minutes before the floodlighting was turned off. This image is a 'twofer' combining architecture as a subject for B&W photography and the use of artificial lighting.

Love how the stone is lighted and the roofs are dark. Very nice night shot

[Sharon Lee]

lovely lighting

[essiesue]

Beautiful image! Is that a clock at the top? If it is that is certainly something I've never seen before on a church.

Fabulous night shot, composition, lighting, textures

So pretty... the textures just pop in this light. What a wonderful structure. As always, your processing is perfect.

[Joan Robillard]

You did it to me again. I kept thinking I posted on this already. Yeah I did on your other album. Only you processed them differently. Think I like the other one better by a tad.

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor I knew you would have a moan! In fact, the two photographs were taken on consecutive days from different viewpoints: the colour one was just a snap taken as I passed by in the car on my way home but as it worked out nicely, I thought I would do it again for B&W February!
