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.

Early mid - September morning

At this time of the year the sun begins to cast dark and long shadows in the churchyard. I have resisted the temptation to lighten the forground shadow here as I think the contrast with the brightly lit church adds to drama of the moment. Only two small gravestones have been sacrificed after all. There should be more weddings here!
