Calvary Baptist Church!

I was standing here taking these pictures when a pickup (actually 2) stopped to see what I was up to.

The gentleman driving the first, he was really nice; not like the old lady @ the high rise. Turned out it was the pastor :-)

The light streaming across the frame is pretty wild I think.

TSE!

..

This was my trip back to the church after they turned on all the lights.

Hard to beat that dusk sky < 9pm but I thought this one was pretty cool.

TSE!

FE!

Dusk (HDR) Pictures,downtown, dusk, High Dynamic Range, long exposure, Springfield VT pictures, star lights, The United Methodist Church,vivid colors, Calvary Baptist Church

So as I was standing near the high rise downtown…taking pictures of the church (obviously) this older woman in a older model SUV wanted to make sure I was taking pictures of the church and not “casing”? the retirement home. Is that a big problem? People trespassing on the grounds of the high rise? I guess I could see crazy family members doing weird things but she had some kind of audacity to assume my motives were something other than pure :-)

First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ

I love how the light drapes across the frame in the 2nd one…unintended bonus!

..

I’ve always wished there was a better view of the falls but short of taking a canoe up to it, I don’t think there is!

A couple of these shots got severely distorted as I was trying to encompass the entire falls into the frame with the fish-eye. I gave them a mild PS tweak to remove some of the elements that got shifted. But the one below and then the 3rd one, I had to rotate them about 30 degrees I think!

Down the scary alley right beyond H&R Block. It’s DARK@ night!!

The United Methodist Church – Springfield VT

Not knowing if I was ever going to make it back to Springfield for an extended time, I wanted to cover some of the great buildings in town and to me, a large part of that are the churches.

It’s one of those things you don’t give a lot of thought to growing up but some of the churches are REALLY interesting. I would have liked to have been able to go inside all of them as well, but time/circumstances did not allow.

Fish-eye! This is the perfect time of day to shoot, I mean check out that sky! WICKED!!

Though, I had to return to the church later that night as the lights did not come on until 9pm, same thing with the Miller Arts Center :-)

TSE! Pretty interesting look right. Though it is very hard to see what you have dialed in in terms of focus @ night.

Pretty close to what I envisioned.

Downtown Springvegas! This was a wild one, getting elements of both the red & green lights. Sweet.
