    Beautiful Monroe Congregational Church

      Monroe Congregational Church (Founded 1762) 34 Church St. Monroe CT After I had just photographed the one room schoolhouse just down the street Cheryl and I headed over to what was the original green of Monroe. Once there we noticed, what is almost always the case in every town, a beautiful Congregational Church. I took my gear and headed over to the green, accross the street, to see if I could frame up the shot with some of the surrounding environment. Photographed with a Sony A7RV, 61MP mirrorless camera and a Sony 24-70 F2.8 GMII lens @ 24mm in late fall. 1/125th, f8, ISO 100, MANUAL MODE

    Church of the Resurrection, Wallingford CT

        Church of the Resurrection 115 Pond Hill Rd. Wallingford CT 06492 (203) 265-1694 http://resurrectionct.org/ I photograph churches based on either historical significance or unusual/beautiful architecture. I felt that this church has beautiful lines and is somewhat unusual in it’s construction. I remember when the church was built in 1965 and, frankly, it doesn’t look like it has aged much. Still a beauty! Photographed with Nikon D7100, 24MP camera and Tokina AT-X-11-20mm shot at 20mm. (35mm equiv.= 30mm). 1/60th, f18, ISO 400

    Driving through Litchfield County CT

I had to pull over as my eyes gazed upon the majesty of…
