Methodist Church of Sheepshead Bay HDRed.

The oldest existing church in Sheepshead Bay, built in 1869, it deserved special treatment. The original size is rather large, as I didn't compress the JPG that much.

This image is so fun and freaky that I'm taking another look.
The lines in the Parking Lot are perfect pointing toward the church's pointy architecture (aka leads my eye in). And that tree looks ominous with its wispy limbs against those clouds that look like lost spirits.

I took the original photograph in March. (I'll have to locate it, it's in my March Sheepshead Bay folder.) I tried all sorts of setups, including a few taken from the sidewalk on Ocean Avenue but this one seemed to work the best.

Since I practically grew up here (I was baptized here, which was why they joined the church) I can't help but love the architecture. They remodeled it in 1925 without ruining its charm. And since most of the buildings east of the church are two or three story late 19th century structures there's a lot of visible sky.

The parking lot also fascinated me with with its contours as well as it's lines. I added some relief mapping to the HDR to accentuate that aspect.

Recently they did some reconstruction which brought back much of the beauty of the 1925 remodeling. Considering that a few years later the New York Conference was considering closing the church they have made an amazing comeback.

It's a beauty and I love the point of view, considering I go shopping in the Waldbaums every other Tuesday night. I like the texture of the parking lot. Also enjoyed your discussion on the history and photographic treatment.

The foreground really works in this photo. The best HDR has got to be when the skies are affected.
