On Sunday, when I met my friend Nicole to photograph her baby’s 8 month portraits, I ended up getting there a little bit early so that gave me some time to photograph the church on the Villanova University campus with my new wide angle Tokina 12-24.
I love photographing churches; especially ones with so much character like this one. I have an entire gallery dedicated to churches HERE if you’re interested.
I love how wide angle photography looks and I’m so excited about this new lens! Even with the distortion of the angles I still love it!
Each of the photos below are 3 exposures, merged to HDR, with Photomatrix:




I also photographed the interior of another chapel on the campus later that day that had some great wooden arches. As soon as I have some time to work with them in Photomatrix I’ll be sure to post some of them.
Regards,
Jen xoxo




















um…okay I’m so going to switch to wordpress if I can have pictures on my blog as big as yours without people having to CLICK on them! Help me out girl!
And what a local! What a church! What great photos!!!
Congrats on your new site! I love it.
This has to be some of my most recent favorites of your HDR. These are breathtaking and I love the new lens. Amazing job, Jen!
Jen,
First – Congats on your new Blog – It looks great. The university photographs are simply stunning. Some of the best HDR I’ve ever seen and the compositions are perfect. This is right up my alley.
Excellent job!
Thank you so much!!
So far I’m loving the new blog…still trying to work out the kinks of switching from blogger to wordpress…
Wolf – wow, what a compliment! Thank you! *bowing*
I truly *heart* HDR…it’s a my top favorite besides portraits! If I had more time in the world you’d see more of it!
Hi Jen,
Thank you for stopping by my blog. Your blog is fantastic and I’ve got you in my rss feed now. Look forward to seeing more!
The Villanova images are spectacular – your Tokina and the HDR helped capture the majesty of the building.
Besides my 366 themed photo blog, I have this one where I

Love the look given by the ‘new’ lens and HDR, stunning.
Found the ‘blog’ layout to be very modern and professional looking, keep up the good work (who needs sleep!!)
