Black and white


St Anne's church near Lacock.

Not actually very old at all (mid 19th century) and a mish mash of architectural styles, but still a great subject for a dramatic black and white photo, especially with the dramatic skies of late. 

Shot with the Sun behind the tower and bracketed plus/minus 1.3ev to grab both highlight detail in the sky and shadow detail in the foreground, combined manually in Photoshop, with levels and curves used to bring out the foreground texture and contrast.

ISO100, 16mm, f/5, 1/250s, composite, levels, curves
