When I'm out shooting, I'm looking for a lot of things, how the light plays across the scene, are their converging lines, is there a contrast of color. All these things provide structure to the image.

I was out shooting a few days ago and came upon this beautiful country church. I started to work my way around it, shooting wide shots, close ups etc. I knew there was a photograph here I just had to discover it. I heard a story many years ago, a big oil executive was having his portrait taken, and was annoyed that the photographer was taking so many photos, he asked him "Why do take so many photos, shouldn't one be enough?" The photographers reply was "Do you strike oil on the first try?

 I walked around and shot a few more and noticed an interesting pattern

I went home and after sorting out the evenings photos. This one popped up and I like it.

So I cropped it a little tighter, straightened it and did a little color correction. Not bad .

But what would it look like in Black and White.

Pretty good. It has some nice lines and nice patterns.

Who knows it might look better cropped even further.

So there you go. No too bad. Well that's all for today, now get out there and shoot!
