I took many images of this old church with three different cameras and two different lenses on the 35mm SLR. Here’s the first of them come back. I’ve been waiting for months to shoot here, and finally got there at the right time.
I love this lens. My 24mm is one of my favorite lenses. I bought it used and it’s done me well this year, but it’s beginning to fail me…something electronic and I don’t know that it can be fixed. I will have to replace it; I hope the new one captures the colors as well as this one does. I did have the polarizer on for this shot, but I’ve shot without it many times with equally fine results.
Love the colors, great shot Micki!! Nothing can beat prime lenses :)
Beautiful warm colors. The red door makes this shot so welcoming.
i really like the wide angle look. you kept a good distance between yourself and the church. i feel no distortion.
I like glimpses of your town. :)
This is a very nice shot and it's interesting how the cemetary is in front of the church like that?
Beautiful shot of this lovely little church. I think the polarizer did a great job here of bringing out the white against the blue sky.
It's beautiful. Lovely little church and the colors are wonderful.
Maybe the electronic contacts on the lens are dirty?
wonderfully framed!...just cant flaw this one...
Sorry to hear about the lens. I know how you feel about breaking in the next one too.
I'm currently shopping for a Pentax K1000 repairman.

to me, looks like a scene from a beautiful dream...
I like the bricks leading to the red door and the perspective of the tomb stones. Very nice.

Love the rich film quality Micki! The scene is set with the great lead you've created with the composition. The sky the ultimate backdrop for this place of divinity and rest.
Oh, I am loving that shadow from the gate : I tend to notice such things! And I agree with Ashish on the superiority of the prime lens – not so much for the definition and pictorial quality but for the discipline they impose on the composition : we get a little lazy with a zoom and it sometimes shows.
Something so haunting about tombstones and graveyards.
Appearently you are more likely to capture a ghost on film then you are with the naked eye. That has been my latest photographic challenge. No luck so far.....
Lovely sky perspective in this shot.
So nice. I like the Country Church feel. nice composition with the headstones in the foreground.
I've been having trouble posting on the Beta Bloggers sites, I hope I can get through on this one.
Nice church, it seems to be a piece of a children's game!
Lovely shot, Micki. Those colors are wonderful. Too bad about the trouble with the lens. Good luck on getting it replaced soon.
Lovely colours and the wide angle was an excellent choice for this shot. I'm not sure what can go wrong with a lens like this other than the autofocus, if so you can just turn it off...you don't really need to focus a lens this size anyway!
That reminds me about my $25 lens project. I must get around to taking it apart and playing with it. Better still I should try and find some other old lenses as that one was pin sharp. This is a pleasing shot greatly helped by the polariser and the resulting sky
Love the lines!!!!!!!!
Love this shot! One of your best. The colors and composition are fantastic!

Jason
micki - this is clearly a stand-out :o) gorgeous perspective, color, and subject matter.
Absolutely beautiful, Micki. I love the colors. The composition works very well; my eyes went right to the doors. Also interesting is the contrast in the image. The light makes it feel almost joyous--everything about it is welcoming--but at the same time, this is a graveyard.
Beautiful church...Interesting composition!
WOW! WOW! WOW! postcard perfect!
Micki, I really like this. I love the way the sidewalk leads right to the old church. Excellent perspective.
wow...beautiful:-)..perfect exposure...look at the blue sky and red brick path...timeless shot:-))
I love the perspective on this shot Micki. Great colours also.
I love a good cemetery photo and this one is great!
Oooh, I am liking this image, sorry I me an I am loving it, I love images taken in cewmeteries, there is this certain charm to them. Now this is one of the 1st images like this I am liking in colour.

Wow I really like this one Micki, so many perfect elements.
Love the color and great capture Micki :-)
great colorful shot, really like the strong lead-in of the path and your use of dof
I love the colours of this image along with the terrific composition a good shot well taken
Beautiful shadow and color! Great camera angle, also.
What a charming church - and such a great perspective, making the gravestones as prominent as the church!

Ah now I see why you've liked my 'cat eye' shot so much. Perspective always is best created with strong lines leading into the frame. I like yours better, because of the colours (can't bring myself to attempt coloured shots these days) AND the use of a polarizer. Gotta love filters!
I have to say, despite this shot being in color, it's almost "creepy". Nice perspective, love how the walkway seems elongated and is flanked by headstones on either side...
Very nice. I have the Sigma 24mm, great macro focusing as well with lots of dof. Sorry to here it has a problem.
I really like the low perspective on this one. Great shot!
Fantastic 24mm perspective here!
