Serbian Church, Birmingham

[Stravinsky]

I took the photography group I run to a Serbian Church yesterday.  I'm not sure they were expecting what they saw inside.  This church was only built in the mid 60's.  It took 5 years to complete and then a further 3 years by one man to paint the interior.  I'm guessing he wasnt using Dulux!

Second image is fantastic, what focal length are you using for these? 

Great work on your part and the painter who must be dreading the next touch up session

What an awesome set.   Great colours.

Thanks, that was more or less the first shot I took and I felt it might be good because of all the curves - ISO400, 2 second, F10, 16-35 IS L @ 16mm

I posted these on social media in Birmingham and it's caused a frenzy of people wanting to go there, so now I've had to email the Father there asking if he will have another open day

Well it does look a good spot to be with camera.  These type of shots are up with my favourite things to shoot.

That's a pretty impressive church interior.

That’s just a fabulous set Stravinsky ... it looks like cobalt blue as the ground colour and is so effective . I take it then that the church is not open to the public normally ... what a shame .   The first image is just superb ...hats off to you ...a masterly set .

A very nice colourful set, but for me the first is the best of the lot imo fantastic.

Very kind of you to say so, thank you ...... Ive actually sent an email to the Father asking him.  I guess it will always be open at service times, but of course the congregation wouldn't be to happy

What a fine group of images Stravinsky and such a photographers paradise you found. Brilliant work by the painters!

BTW you could actually do this using Dulux, their colour mixing system is excellent and with replicate any color from any of the various colour systems around. It will work on as little as a half litre.
