Awaiting the worshippers

[pjflan7]

Sometimes, I have to work Sundays and last Sunday was one of those days. I had to be there at 8 and so I swung by Salem Presbyterian on the way to work...You have seen shots of this church before in conjunction with a setting sun. Today, they are associated with a rising sun.

Here is a reflective shot as well as a see through shot of the sun's light



Pews bathed in morning's early light



Here is a shot of the piano taken through the window in the 1st shot. Here you can see the order of the morning service as well as the music sheet of the doxology for the musician.



Here is a shot of a hymnal laying on top of the piano

Nice set Patrick, you used the available lighting well and I like the reflection in the 1st one and the Hymnal shot the best.
Thanks for sharing these

I have seen a lot of people spe******e in certain aspects of photography, seems like you are working towards manipulating the sunlight. Well done.

all nice as usual Patrick .. I love the reflection on the pew in the last ..

I like these a lot! The first is so wonderful. You combined the art of photography with the peacefulness of the place.

[Hayward Taylor]

Hi Patrick - wow - these are awesome ... I really like the first photo

[Mpow]

They're all great, but I really love the first one. It has a bit of everything, reflection, shadow, light, but I think it works really well.

Just beautiful, Patrick. I especially love the first one, and the mood it creates of a warm sanctuary inside contrasting with the coldness outside; and the last, with the light. Oh, the light! Thanks so much for sharing them.

Well Patrick, you have outdone yourself again. All are great shots but the first and the fourth are fantastic.
