Grafton Church

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted February 4, 2012305 views7 comments

I am always looking for new subjects for my night photography so on my last tour to Zion I paid a visit to the ghost town of Grafton. I had to watch for the cow patties when I was walking around but it was nice to be alone in a location that close to Zion.
Moonlit with a small flashlight placed in opposing windows to give church the glow.

Great use of the flashlights to light the windows. What white balance did you use for this? The star-filled sky is amazing.

Cool technique using the flashlight in the opposite windows. Thank you for sharing it!

Masterfully done, Roman, especially the way you lit the church. I like the way you included so much of the sky to convey the spaciousness.

Expertly done. Fabulous result. The starry sky is amazing; the church/lighting is just perfect.

Using the flashlight was brilliant! (Pun intended!) Amazing sky. My only nit would be that the church appears to be leaning to the right a bit. Especially the back left corner of the church. Should be able to fix that using Warp in PS. Nicely done!
