Church Organ Pipes by Ron Clegg

September 2019 - Church Organ Pipes

About the Image(s)

Church Organ Pipes, was shoot at a club shoot at Saint Mary’s Church in Detroit’s Greek Town last month. My goal in this shot was to show great detail in the organ pipes, columns and near by walls with a five frame HDR. This is a huge building with over 1600 seats in the sanctuary. There is at least three more beautiful churches in the same area within walking distance.
Nikon D750 ISO 400, 24-85mm lens, f11 @ 7sec (+/- 5), processed in Aurora 2019, with detailed contrast and other minor adjustments in Affinity Photo.

Ron, there is no doubt you have a style and aptitude for indoor architectural photography. I love the sharp colors and contrast capturing the grandeur of the pipe organ. To me the symmetry draws my eyes to the primary area of interest but also beckons me to take in the whole image. To me you excelled with the exposure without blowing out the stained glass. A challenge for anyone. Well done.   Posted: 09/11/2019 09:56:05

What a wonderful HDR image! The symmetry and great detail make it so interesting. Silvery on the sides and browns in the center add to the symmetry and further emphasize the organ pipes. Well done!   Posted: 09/19/2019 15:57:41



 
Outstanding HDR in detail, symmetry, and color of the organ pipes and walls, but also in the wooden railing and its base and the colorful details of the stained glass that compliment the main subject. Including the arch above the stained glass draws the eyes upward and helps create the sense this is a huge church.   Posted: 09/22/2019 12:23:03

Some more great HDR work Ron. Photo feels like it has a slight tilt to the left. You could almost crop in closer to show off the organ pipes better and get the stained glass to appear bigger. The editing was well done and not over done.   Posted: 09/25/2019 08:37:25
