I’ve visited the church of St Mary the Virgin in Stansted Mountfitchet before, but on that occasion I was on a mission to find some suitable photos for an educational blog I was writing. On this occasion I had a much needed morning off and was determined to do some pinhole photos but needed a location close to home. With a journey of just three miles St Mary’s fitted the bill perfectly!
One should always have in mind that you can never get too close with pinhole photography - a strategy which worked well with the church piano.
More close up details.
As I ventured out into the porch the sun was positively warm (much warmer than inside!) and the ornate wooden arch was throwing interesting shadows onto the door.
Along with the warmth of the sun, the snowdrops in the churchyard also gave a hint of spring to come…
