Green Hill Church

TByrne · 20th of April 2007 (Fri)

Well out into the rural hills you find the county peppered with tiny churches built during The Great Revival of the 1920s. Each looking like a subject of those hand painted post cards of the early part of the last century. See... see how they look as if time rarely visits these places?

Very nice, I like the effect you've created here.

great shot......get rid of the telephone pole

Great effect, Ted. You're right about all the old churches in these here hills. I really like how you've made this. You could put this on a post card, put 1908 on the back and sell it as an antigue. I guess they had telephone poles back in 1908.

it looks okay, but I'm really not sure what effect you were actually going for!!!

Not sure I like the effect, but it's a well composed photo. I'd be interested in seeing the original.

I like it.
Has an old creepy/ghostly feel to it.

I like it. I agree with losing the telephone pole. I would also lose the driveway and garage on the right.

Titus213 · 26th of April 2007 (Thu)

Very nicely done. It looks very Americana to me, comfortable, familiar. Great photo and excellent conversion.

Dont mean to impose on your thread, but i have a neat picture of an old church in north east Florida id like to share.

Shutter22 · 27th of April 2007 (Fri)

Very cool shot, I liek the effect you added as well. If you're going to get rid of the telephone pole for old tyme purposes, get rid of the yellow line in the road as well.

TByrne · 27th of April 2007 (Fri)

Nice feeling. Interesting the way the Greek Revivalist mood is captured in so many of these buildings regardless of their simplicity.

Thanks for sharing....

Whoa... this antitelephonepoledisesablishmentarinaism is rampant!

I like the pole and the yellow lines. They're both sort of primitive and connect this place to everywhere else phyhsically, while the image connects it to our memories and nostalgia. I am forming the Don't Stamp Out Telephone Pole Society... Poor things....

Thanks, you're all very generous. You know it was odd. This place is as rural as it looks to be, you don't accidentally come upon it. But when I drove up that hill and saw the church on the crest... there was no doubt in my mind that it was an image that would resonate as much among city as country folk. There's something so universal here, as if we had it hard wired into our memory banks eh? Deja vu? Maybe its the normalcy of what is not a "normal" location that makes it seem "spooky"? You think?

TB, I normally agree that what is in a picture should stay in a picture. I normally have serious issues with objects being cloned out in order to achieve a "better" picture. I am normally of the opinion that if someone can not find the location or patience to get that shot they want they they are stuck with the shot they got.

That being said...

It appeared to me that you were going for something different. Something totally custom and period. In that vein, yes, I think the pole and driveway should go. Else....I really like the shot.
