Heaven knows I have shot this church a million times, and my gallery already has quite a few shots from here. However I have always wanted it in the snow, as the shots have always sort of eluded me, and I did get it this time around but honestly it still isn't to the extent which I want. I will get it though just you watch!

For this shot I already knew how I wanted to look when I was shooting it...I wanted something specifically that would draw the viewer in and look like something off a fantasy romance novel. I wanted something with a very emotional appeal in terms of both look and atmosphere. Modeled after the Dutch and English landscape masters, look at the subtle light, especially the bottom right.

Did I succeed?? You be the judge.

Selective HDR, Lightroom 3, Photoshop, and Nik Color Efex 3.

Such a feeling of age... i would expect this view in part of a novel such as Heidi, when she comes down the mountain to go to church... with the snow it just tips it into the feel of a fairytale. Completely different feel to your glowing windows in St Malo 2 and i love that about your work. Same setting shot the same day to feel so very different!

I do think you succeeded, John. But it is not my favorite shot you have taken of this church. You probably don't remember, but one of your earlier shots of this is what hooked me as one of your watchers.
