Inside the Rock Church

One from inside the Rock Church. Great church on the outside. Great church on the inside.

I visit here 2-3 times a year and always find new things to photograph. Here I am working the edge of the pews after the good light is gone from outside.

A bonus on this day drive is stopping for some great BBQ in Glen Rose on the way home!

Rock Church

The front of the Old Rock church.

I liked the blue of the sky and the white of the church but the more I look at this image, the more I think I need to try it in monochrome.

The 10mm really is put to good use to get everything in the image. I wish I had the 47XL lens as it would allow me to have done the same thing with the 4x5, as is I sufficed with the 75mm.

Note- the Historic Marker at the front of the church.

The Rock Church in the Morning

Another image from my recent trip down to the Rock Church.

The reverse of the prior image. This time from the back side of the church looking out toward the tree.

There are plans being made to renovate the church back to it's original look. I look forward to seeing it then and what they will do.

Old Rock Church

The Old Rock Church in Bosque County.

I photograph this old church a couple of times a year. It is one I have featured in the blog before too. Alone on a hill with a live oak tree it is certainly an appealing subject.

So, here it is again.

I was set up using my 75mm lens to include all of the tree and the church framed under the branches.

Swift

Being swift or quick is not really a large format thing. Slow and precise is more like it. But when I was photographing in the Fort Worth Stockyards near the ruins of the old Swift plant I could not resist working swift into an image.

The camera is set up with the 210mm lens and is all twisted up to photograph a window with very shallow DOF.
