Philip Booth is a great guy .. choirmaster of All Hallows Church, Twickenham, East of London, UK.
I like to help out the choir and also to take pics. The Sony R1 is a great camera .. the swivelling LCD Screen mans you can take ground-level shopts without being mistaken for an over-devout worshipper. I used as Ricoh GX8. This is the altar and the massive carving behind it was done by Grindling Gibbons, who was a mate of Cristopher Wren, the guy who designed St Paul's Cathedral in London. And ![]() Here are the DChoir stalls. Note the candles. They were originally to illuminate the sheet music, but as often as not would set them on fire. ![]() And here is the pulpit from which the priest delivers the sermon .... note the area without fill-flash ... if you cold see it you woul notice that it is a parabolic section, the axis slightly aiming into the congregation. The pulpit is actually acoustically tuned to the hall to amplify from a head-height point source. ![]() I hope you enjoyed these Best wishes Glyn |

Thankyou Bahadir.
The solumn aspect is, I believe intensified by my feelings as I take these pictures ... they are done during the break between the choir rehearsal and the actual service. I am not a congregation member, but I am member of the 'extended' church choir .... I come along to help out on special occasions. The mood does influence me ... and also, these are pictures that i know I am going to present to Philip .. the choirmaster I mentioned at the top of the thread. He really IS a great guy. So'who am I doing this for' adds to my solemnity. best wishes Glyn |
