Tetbury church.
This is one of those ones where whichever way up it is the perspective takes a bit of working out. Blame the cameraman I guess :)
I decided to rotate it to landscape, partly because that works better with Flickr, but also to avoid the "uncertainty fail" problem where something slightly out looks a mistake rather than the creative decision which it was {cough}.
I could also pretend that changing the perspective encourages us to see the textures and patterns anew. Maybe. If I were brave...
Tetbury is an interesting little town about ten miles away. It became wealthy on the wool trade and had the unusual advantage that the townspeople managed to negotiate to buy the town from the local aristocrat who owned it. Which meant they kept the profits from the wool trade. Good move.
So the church is unusually large and splendid. This is a picture of the gallery taken from below with a lovely carved balustrade.
The name Tetbury means Tet's hill in Anglo-Saxon. Who Tet was is anyone's guess but presumably he's a distant cousin of the Egyptian Pharoah Tut. Anyway the moral of the story is if an ancient Angle approaches you and professes to be about to hill you, be alarmed :)
Oh and did I mention that Prince Charles lives in Tetbury? I usually do :) (Sorry. Old joke...)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Friday :)
[Taken in dim sunlight through the church windows; handheld by contortionist.
Developed in Photolab 3 emphasising the wood textures in the fore and accentuating the colours (the stonework behind was yellow against the cyan of the wood), so that I could then control the strength of the background in the B&W conversion.
Into Affinity for sharpening (not USM; High Pass/Linear blend and a touch of Clarity).
Cropped to accentuate the gallery and get rid of distractions like spotlights in the ceiling.
Converted in Silver Efex going for a low key look with a colour filter to take down the background masonry.
Toned with Orange/Teal but lightly.
Slight dark burnt (darkened) edges.]

Night view of Taipei city from Taipei,101 tower. The city looks like a computer motherboard from there.
For Illustration Friday
This is a corner in our apartment that I want to decorate. It's my Totoro corner, he's a bean bag chair. The leaf canopy is from Ikea. The mushroom chair is from strapya-world.com.

The hikers, the trees in the background, and the lone tree in the foreground seem to disagree on which direction is up.
