    Very nice, they're quite surreal. I'm normally not a big fan of churches but you've really captured some great images there.

    Hi Paul.

    I really, really like the Chapel Sepia shot - so sharp.

    Our Lady's Corridor is slightly sloped right I think, makes me a little dizzy. It doesn't do as much for me as a photograph anyway - I don't know why but I think it's a little featureless/lifeless. I know it's a statue, but still...But the Chapel Sepia is really wonderful.

    I am rubbish at finding a base line in compositions. I didn't have a trpod with me, but almost all my pictures suffer in that regard anyway. I really have to work on it, because I've ruined alot of landscapes by having the horizon shoot off at a weird angle!

    Thanks for the feedback guys.

    Yes but horizons can be fixed. Photoshop Elements 5.0 has a really cool tool for doing that which I think CS2 had as well. You will lose the edge of the photograph due to rotation but if it's not very far off, then the loss is minimal. I don't worry so much about them now and am finding that when I don't think about it, they're better.

    They look a little flat to mine eyes, and I hate sepia tones to boot, but it's great to see someone else tramping through churches. :D

    Yeah its easy to fix rotation in photoshop. There's a thread discussing it over in the darkroom. If you worried about keeping it level then try to get more of the scene in frame and then straighten and crop the image afterwards so you don't loose too much. I know this is using PS as a crutch but if you do improve your leveling while doing this then I don't see the harm in salvaging images along the way.

    I'd use a scissors, protractor and set square, if it were a print. Photoshop is just slightly better for the local environment as I won't curse if I get it wrong.

    OP - I find it's better not to get hung up on them as sometimes they work and sometimes they don't but if you can fix them then it takes the pressure off and somehow they turn out better anyway.

    I might just head back to the school with a tripod and take it again.

    I dunno, i think the flatness works here. the statue one looks like one of those Maya or 3Ds max renderings you see of gray objects. Kinda ethereal. :)
