You can’t look at that and not go in. The entire building is leaning in multiple directions at the same time.

Behind The Lens

Location

Northeast Montana, the area was one a small prairie town named Dooley.

Time

Early winter morning

Lighting

The two tone shades of grey sky were not created by me. That was the appearance of the sky that morning.

Equipment

Olympus OMD EM5 Mark ii with Laowa 7.5mm ultra wide lens.

Inspiration

The structure is a wonderful example of the stark, rugged beauty of rural Montana. This is not an easy place to live for many reasons and while the entire town faded into history, this dilapidated church refuses to be lost to time.

Editing

Some fairly basic editing was done with Luminar Neptune.

In my camera bag

I always have my EM5 Mark ii, the 12-40mm f2.8 pro lens, 75-300mm zoom and the Laowa 7.5mm f2.0

Feedback

I’d love to be able to offer some intelligent advice to other photographers but I’m still learning myself. I photograph something every week. I read and watch all the tutorials I can.
