[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 824479, member: 53455"] Among the organizations I work for as either as [I]pro bono[/I] or a paid photographer, the Sauvegarde de l’Art Français foundation is the oldest. This private charity has been around for more than a century, financing restoration works exclusively on churches older than the 19th century and not otherwise helped by public funds. One of my great-aunts, Aliette de Rohan, marchioness of Maillé, was its Chairwoman for several decades in the mid-20th century, when I was still a little boy, and when she died, she made a very large donation that still keeps the foundation going to this day. I have fond memories of her and will, one of these days, upload more content relating to her in this “Post your church shots” section. Anyway, when on commission to shoot village churches for “La Sauvegarde”, as it is known for short, I sometimes stumble upon lovely Romanesque little jewels. It was the case in the village of Buellas, just north of Lyons, where the Saint Martin church (this dedication is generally a sign of old age) offered a delightful ambiance and some interesting photo opportunities. Nikon Z7 II, Micro-Nikkor 85mm, ƒ/2.8 PC-E tilt-shift lens, manual focus, FTZ II adapter. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. Natural light, single exposure. Some tilt to the right (no clue how much, I’d say between 2 and 4 degrees) to increase depth of field. [ATTACH type="full"]410634[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
