Church Project

I want to do a bit more with projects because I’m enjoying my Project 365 so much. So I thought it would be interesting to concentrate on one type of subject, like Churches for instance. It will be good to explore a subject in more detail, and good practice. I chose Churches because I like architecture, and Churches are amazing examples of this.

These shots are of Birkenhead Priory the first Church that I wanted to shoot, mainly because it’s the oldest standing building on the Wirral (the first photograph) so I thought it was a good place to start.

The tall tower is St Mary’s Tower which was part of a later church that was built next to the old Priory.

Birkenhead Priory was also the first place where a ferry crossed the River Mersey, operated by the monks of the Priory.

You may think it a bit strange to see a ship in these photographs seeing as I’m looking at Churches, but it is the view from the top of St Mary’s Tower, looking over into Cammell Larids dock yard. The dock yard is literally feet away from the priory, it’s amazing what you can find right next to Churches!

Trying out the gallery feature!

Image of the Week #9

This week in image of the week:

I seem to get onto to a topic and then get stuck on it! I have another gate this week, but a very different one from last week.

This is an old Church gate, actually one of the gates to get into Birkenhead Priory one of the oldest buildings on the Wirral.

I just liked the way that the iron gate is rusting with the stone pillar propping it up at the end. It adds depth to the gate and makes it more interesting, aging it.

The more photographs I take the more I can see my own style or preference for different types of photography emerging. With a definite lean towards industrial and architectural subjects, that I think are fascinating and have wonderful patterns and texture to them.
