Lower Heyford Church
This wonderful little 12th Century church is constructed in a mixture of Cotswold and Hornton stone. It just loves to be photographed and as you can see looks wholly different at different times of the day and in different lights. Here are just some of my many images and of course every one is very idividual. One of the pleasures of photographing this building is the many opportunities for changing the geometry of the gravestones by just moving a couple of feet or changing the focal length of the lens a fraction.
St Mary's Lower Heyford - Summer afternoon
The diffuse light of a summer afternoon is somewhat paradoxically the least flattering to this lovely old church. Without highlights the stone tends to retreat into an amorphous mass but she still retains her inherent beauty.
