This was not my picture of the week that was voted on, I will get to that next, but this is my favorite picture. This was my last shot before I left the cemetery that day. I was raining that morning, cold and windy. I took this from outside the cemetery on the sidewalk that sat lower then the actual cemetery. It was about 4 or 5pm in the late afternoon and I was fighting against time and light. I happened to snap this as the sun was coming back out for just a few minutes between the moving clouds. I love the way that the color came out so minimal due to the shadows. I feel like it gives a dark mysterious feeling. Then the little bit of light accents the church and draws your eye to it completing the picture. I feel like without that you would not know what you are looking at. I used my standard camera on my Galaxy S5. The panorama mode on it is amazing! It has a guide bar that comes up to make sure you keep your picture straight as you slowly pan across the view you are looking at. This helps make both vertical and horizontal panoramas really easy.
This was my POW and almost did not happen. I was on my way home from the cemetery and thought I had gotten a good amount of pictures for the day and drove past this but then stopped actually to see what a panorama of the corn field would look like. After that was a fail, I walked over towards the abandoned church and started doing vertical panorama of the headstones nothing was coming out great due to lack of light. Then before I left I turned and did a quick pano of the church and really thought this wouldn't look great, the light by the church was actually blinding in trying to take the picture. When I got home and pulled them up on my computer I was really surprised at how this came out. This was also shot with my standard S5 camera in panorama mode. Nothing special.
