How do I change a normal Church into a special one?
This one here is a Church of the Good Shephard in Lake Tekapo, New Zealand.
It is a one of a kind spot in Lake Tekapo.
I dropped by here before I went to the hostel. A church was just a church, to me. But along with great view it looks very good to visitors.
I met a guy who was really into photography as much as I am. He wanted to learn how to take astronomy photography so we took a walk at night to the church for get a great shot. We did take constellation pictures and long exposures and then… we flashed! Not with camera, with brain.
We had lanterns with us, so we thought it would be so much fun doing a long exposure shot if we were in it.
Want to know what we did? Set the camera on the tripod, and as soon as we pushed the button on the camera, we took a fast step toward to the church with lanterns on, and drew a shape of church when we got there.
Don’t follow? Then just watch the photo we took.
Can you see the chimney and everything, right? It was such an awesome memory.
Certainly deserves to be on my Travel Photo of the Week section! Don’t you think?
WHOA!! That is an AWESOME photo and what a cool idea!
Thank you for sharing with us,

@MKL
Worth to try, right? do it! and post to let us know how it goes.. 🙂
Fun photography! I’ve been to lake tekapo too and stayed at that hostel right off the lake. It really was very beautiful there.
@Adam
Glad you like the photo 🙂 maybe that’s the same hostel! There’s not many of them, right? I have such a nice memory in Lake Tekapo. Have you been to Observatory? It was the most beautiful night sky I’ve ever seen there!!

Great pic! We loved that place, too and have bunches of pictures of that same church. That area of New Zealand is just stunning to drive through.
@Adam
True! 🙂 I stayed there almost 4 days. Just love that area. Actually I’m gonna post an article about lake Tekapo later today too. 😉
