Saturday Photography Project – Church

Saturday Photography Project – Church001 Jun 2013Saturday Photography Project – Church by Barry Chignell

Spent an hour or two at a local churchyard, taking some HDR images, today. It was one of the few nice days we’ve had here in the UK so I wanted to take advantage of the great light and blue skies.

My HDR Explained tutorial explains the HDR process used from start to finish.

All images were processed using 3 images at 2 stops, F16, ISO100.. The lens is an 8mm Fisheye from Samyang.

Old Streets And A Church With A Fisheye

I’ve visited the island of Majorca most years since I was about 7 years old. I reckon I’ve been there about 28 times now and still love the place. One of the great features is the abundance of old towns and villages with their picturesque narrow streets and wall climbing flowers. I chose to capture these streets using my Samyang 8mm Fisheye lens as I really like the warped effect it give the walls on either side of the frame and also it’s ability to capture the scene in 180 degrees.

All images processed using Photomatix, Camera RAW and Photoshop. HDR all 3 exposures at 2 stops.

HDR Church Workflow

021 Apr 2013hdr images, hdr process by Barry Chignell

Recently I took a single RAW photo of a local church. From this single image I created an HDR image using 3 different exposure settings. I have recently written an HDR tutorial but it was a while ago and I have learned a few tricks and effects that can add ‘something a bit different’ to your image (if you want to!)

Below are the two images, the unedited RAW image, and the finished result.
