This was taken hand held with my Sony A99 with a Sony 50mm lensInspiration
A group of photography friends and I planned the trip after someone told us about the place. It was a great reason to take a road trip. I wanted to capture the emotion inside, it really was incredible.Editing
Only post processing is Nik silver efex pro for black and white processing.In my camera bag
Sony A99 body and a Sony 50mm lense for bare minimum.Feedback
This image for me was more about a sense of feeling. A feeling that took hold when I entered the church, it has so much history and such tragedy. It wasn't until I went exploring that I was able to get a composition that I felt best captured the mood.
