Something’s New


Last week I mentioned that I was changing the software I would be using for processing my photographs. This week I’ve changed the theme I use for Say It With A Camera. This will probably be the last post where I embed the photographs from Flickr. For some time now I have been worrying about the forthcoming deal between Verizon and Yahoo, who own Flickr. Verizon are a telecoms company. Are they likely to want a photo sharing site? I’m not so sure but I’ve got to start hedging my bets because if they were to drop Flickr I would have an awful lot of broken links on my blog. Just about every previous post would be without photographs.

So I’ve got to start forward planning just in case.Right then, Ambience. It’s been a while since I’ve featured any of the historic churches that we have here in North Wales. I like photographing them, especially using HDR and then in final processing softening the focus just a little. So here’s a few just for fun.

Many of these old churches are quite ornate, look at that organ in the photograph below. The design of the pipes, Victorian workmanship at it’s best.

Saint Mary - The Organ

A simple church in some ways, but the wooden rail is exquisitely carved. Look at the floor tiles as well.

Pulpit

This is a side area of another church. It’s a dedicated family area, not for families, I mean paid for by a single family, the local landowner and this is where they would worship.

Stained Glass

Yet compare those churches above with the simplicity of this one. I know what I prefer.

Llangelynnin Church

      1. It is a simple church Sue, stone floors, wooden seats, no real stained glass to speak of. Very rarely used now, It’s so remote and the only real habitation around the church is a farm.

    1. Most of the old churches in this area are open from 10:00 until about 16:00 each day, Go in the week and usually you will find there is no one about. Photography s encouraged which is a good thing in my view.

    1. Your welcome, Cynthia. I do find those old churches to be peaceful, cold and draughty in the winter, yes, but very peaceful. Although saying that, one old church I was in last year had so many creaks, sighs and bumps, it was really starting to unnerve me….
