Day 13 - His Freedom Reigns Christian Church

Well, rain all day provided the prime opportunity for a night shot since it didn't stop 'til late afternoon. This imposing brick church sits on one of the corners of the McDonough town square, just north of the gothic style Baptist church from day 11. The court house sits just to the right of this building, across the street. You can see the side and part of its clock tower in this straight out of the camera bonus.

Aside from a little levels adjustment to increase contrast, the only other change was a desaturation leaving a tiny bit of color (a trick I picked up in Popular Photography once - leave a slight bit of color in a B&W conversion for a subtle wow factor).

  1. Very nice! I like how the post-processing makes the church stand out more against the sky. Good work!

  4. Nice result. The colours look great, but don't enter that in a mono contest, cos it will be DQ'ed for sure! Looks like a very imposing building!
