Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

St Philip's York Street Anglican Church...

On a recent walk in the city at night I took some images inside a church I'd been meaning to visit - St Philip's, York Street Anglican (which is at the end of York st in the city just as you come of the Sydney Harbour Bridge).

This was a really very beautiful building inside and at night with all the lights on inside everything was golden honey coloured. The warm light coloured wooden pews and floors, the light sandstone walls and pillars, the wooden ceiling and the creamy and light brown tiles on the floor already gave the whole ambience a very light honey coloured feel but the additional warm lighting just made it all glow like the whole room was swimming in golden honey.

As always comments appreciated...

I still had to do an image in monochrome however :)

Great detail and colour in these, not a fan of the b&w because I think the warmth adds to the image. I would like to see more of the ceiling though.

Top notch as usual Rodney. Only nit pick is the signage on the back of the pews in 1 & 2 which draws my eye, maybe clone them out?

Thanks Geoff - I knew I'd get pinged on that and truth be told I did try some cloning (only in lightroom - the first image I removed the first two largest ones) but lightroom doesn't do a great job with this - so I guess I'll be forced to go to photoshop - sigh :)

I am put off by the colour images, the yellow/gold glow really doesnt look right to me, but then again I have not been inside this church. The BW image looks spot on!
