Llangwnadl Church Photo Essay

While I was in the Church for my OCA focus exercise I decided to do a little photo essay of the interior of the Church for myself.

This is a three image stitched HDR panoramic. The distortion in the image is a consequence of the extreme stitching process as each image has an 11mm focal length. Each individual image is made up of a four sequnce bracket taken at 2EV steps. It was processed in Photomatix Pro and Photoshop. I wanted to capture the sense of space and colour in this unusual church.

A single frame of the seat cushions which are had embroidered in Welsh. The wide angle shot gives a sense of space, while the cushions lead you and through to explore the interior and windows in the background.

Working the theme of the prayer cushions. The red as a primay colour catches the eye and is in front the alter denoted by the circle in the back ground. The cushion reads, 'Duw Cariad Yw', God I love Thee.

The simplicity of the reading table under the window caught my eye. The wicker cross in the window was a lovely detail. I wondered if this would work in mono?

There is a certain mood in mono but it is the chair that is an interesting element.

The electrical socket on the wall is a distracting element. But image sitting at the table reading the bible with the window to guide you to the heavens.

The most pleasing element for me in its simplicity is the wicker cross in widow. The window itself has some broken panes.-This is my favorite image.

I will have to do some external shots to complete the set.
