Dean
I’m going to start in the middle today. This photo was taken as they are walking towards the baptismal font after the service of the Catachumen which is conducted at the rear of the church. I know it’s an ordinary pic but what I want to show is the amount of natural light available at the Greek Orthodox Church of “All Saints” in Belmore.
The church is surrounded with yellow stained windows, and with the afternoon sun glowing bright the entire church had a warm natural colour to it. This changed my style of shooting for the service, more to what I like, using the available light to capture the image and the flash is just for a little boost.
When the very first shot of the day looks like this and I only guessed the exposure I know I’m going to have a good day.
A quick formal at the entrance while waiting for the Koumbarie & guests to arrive.
In almost a mirror image of a photo I took a few weeks ago at Ioanna’s Christening, the god child & godparent exchanging a look during the service.
The oil is poured into the Godfathers hands in preparation to anoint Dean.
Dean having a wonderful time in the baptismal font.
A very quick lesson on cropping & making a few basic changes.
A good image like this.
Turns into a gorgeous one like this.
Dean’s first offering, a lock of hair.
A Christening cake in the shape of a christening box made by Sweetart.
A couple of heroes from Superheroes Inc showed up to entertain the kids.
When I did the “first run” processing the images, this candid caught my eye.
However after going through all the images, I’ll leave you with my favourite for the day, the mood and emotion in this one is a standout.
