Upper Independant Chapel (Heckmondwike )
I tied to capture the magnificence of this chapel but extremely hard to do, it is one of the busiest roads from Dewsbury to Bradford and I had to get a shot between the traffic. I was going to do it in Mono but it didn't do as much for me as this Yorkshire stone. How old it is I don't know but it stood black and derelict for years the a business man bought it sandblasted it and restored the outside and went broke, someone else bought it and it is now offices.

Is it leaning a bit Hugh or do me 20X50's need calibrating This ia an interesting building with lots of character and what a pity the sky wasn't a bit kinder to enhance the shot. I think it requires a re-shoot (traffic permitting) in better weather, then clone out those security cameras and what about moving to the left to keep those buildings and mobile mast out of shot? Nice try tho'.

yup good character in this building, I don't think it is leaning, I suspect it is on a slight hill, the building looks straight. George is right you could try to clone out the portacabins on the left, and perhaps some dodge and burn to the sky to bring out some detail.......not that I have learnt how to do this yet but if you know how it may help. nice shot overall though

I echo the good advice in the above comments Arthur, good use of the distort tool in Photoshop will correct the verticals of this lovely old building, nice work!

My camera was plumbed, it is one of those I think an optical illusion due to the green fence which is going up off level from the front of the building. If you look very carefully you can see 2 fences one plumb and the other running up hill. I took ages to get my tripod right. There is only one possible place to take a picture of this building. I will post the actual shot and you can see the difficulty. I was there ½ hour and only got one shot.

I see others have mentioned the lean ! It was the same with my last train photo im afraid, although the tripod spirit levels told me the shot was straight, the lens causes the shot to look slanted which is exactly the same here. you should look at the sides of the building lines, not the fences to see the slant.

Well, I Googled to find more information and it would seem that it was built in 1890. The dome is part of a 2 bed luxury penthouse flat for sale at £200K. You did the right thing to leave it in colour - that stonework is lovely! I think it is the usual problem caused by the camera which gives the apparent slant. Using the Photoshop Transform>Distort (or equiv) tool could fix it.

What a beautiful building. I love all the stone work.
