Stepping Lightly On Hallowed Ground
4th May 2007
Stepping Lightly On Hallowed Ground from duncmc via flickr.
St Mary’s Church in Elloughton, East Yorkshire, UK. The church is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, but the present structure was originally built in the latter half of the 13th Century. The tower was added later, and finished around 1530. The medieval building gradually fell into disrepair and was extensively rebuilt in 1846. The church was badly damaged by a fire on 25th October 1964 as a result of faulty wiring, but was restored by the following year.
This shot was taken last Friday evening from the west side of the church. An HDR layer has been used to bring out the detail in the headstones and the sky. I quite like what that has done to the grass as well, in fact I’m very pleased with how this shot has turned out on the whole.

Great great shot.
I love HDR although not keen on the over the top stuff you see around but never put my toe in the water.
Nice one.
