St John at Hackney

Highlight: The chance to use my very expensive Gitzo Tripod

Lowlight: Still getting it wrong even with the most expensive tripod head on the block - three spirit levels and not one level image. - Thank goodness for Photoshop.
Fill in: Brief was to make the Church look like it was straight out of one of those fancy, high end estate agents brochures. As the church is in need of some repair this was no mean feat. However the light was great and the space amazing.

Tech Spec: With architecture its all about attention to detail - not my strong point. Getting the images exactly symmetrical without a grid on my viewfinder screen proved more than I could cope with - especially with the super wide lens so I shot the scenes slightly wide and compensated in Photoshop in post production which included cropping, perspective control and straightening! I used a 14-24mm zoom and a 70-200mm for the details. All shot on 200 ISO for maximum detail. Wide scenes shot at F11 for good depth of field and details shots on 70-200mm at F2.8 for blurred background and good separation.
