Church of St. Conan, Lochawe

Two things I keep meaning to do more of are monochrome and architecture. So what better way to combine the two than to make a study of the elegantly carved pillars of this fascinating little church? The exposure was the result of much guesswork, factoring in slowly diminishing natural light as well as reciprocity failure. Sticking my finger in the air, counting to three and praying to the almighty god Acros resulted in an exposure time of around 16 minutes - which wasn't really far off. Phew!

 

A bit of Photoshopping to tease out the tones resulted in an image which is pretty much what I envisaged at the time - ghostly pillars receding into darkness.
