As I’ve previously discussed, my first shot of this Church was discovered on the internet by its pastor, Msgr. High Corrigan, which led to me getting the access I used for this and other shots shown over the past month or so. Msgr Corrigan and a few other people have told me that they liked that first shot because it departed from the usual shot of the interior of a church. But of course, when I returned and had all that access, I had to add the standard shot to my shot list. I present it here in two versions: color and black and white. It’s not something I normally do. Usually when I get the idea to process an image in black and white, or some variation of monochrome, I either prefer the result enough to commit, or I dislike it and return to a full-color look. But this time liked both in roughly equal measure, so here they are.

8 Aug 2012The colours in the first image are so vibrant and superbly rendered that the B&W conversion suffers by comparison (because we all know what we are losing in the de-saturation!) Excellent work, Mark

8 Aug 2012Nothing wrong with tradition when the results come out like these mark. Terrific capture and processing. I can’t decide which one is better as they both are killer.

9 Aug 2012The B&W gets my vote, Mark. The elegant lines and curves are enhanced by the monochrome treatment without the color distraction. Very nice job!
