Description
This little fella is St. Huberts chapel. Sat is a field on its own you may wonder why? The story that I have been told (and a quick search hasn't been able to confirm) is that the plague hit Idsworth hard with everyone either leaving or dying of the disease. To halt the spread, the village was burnt to the ground with only the stone church left standing. I guess burning the house of god down being frowned uppon a bit, would also have saved it.Built in 1053 and containing examples of medieval paintings from the 1300s it is a very interesting grade 1 listed building and for this night time photograph a fantastic little subject.

If only you had found a way of lighting this little church,... but, as it is, you've done well.

I discussed this exact thing with the group admins. At the time I thought it would cause a fight with the warm glow from light pollution from Peterfield. The way I see it this is a picture of 2 halfs that invites the viewer to seek the hidden detail in the silhouetted chapel.
I may revisit here on the next moonless night and see what a torch can add to this. Afterall the people have spoken!!!

Regarding the potential, 'fight', with the light pollution,.. that all depends how you light it,.. and what you light it with,. a torch would have to be very powerful,.. but the light painted with it would most likely look untidy, you'd be better off using 3 or 4 stationary, low, pointing-up lights based at the foundations,.. to light the walls or the features; that'd be my approach if it was my shoot,.. but, it's not my shoot,. so, really it can only be a suggestion.

hmm now That's equipment I don't have. If an exposure is over an hour I should be able to get past any messiness simply by vertue on the length of exposure. However you have highlighted (topical?) the need for a need to change pattern of illumination to achieve this.
Its all interesting stuff and something I will no doubt have fun with

Ok, so if you have ONE light,.. do one exposure for each part of the building you wish to illuminate and stitch the shots together,. makes sense? Just make sure that they're each separate from each other or it will be impossible to stick the image together. Also, just to give you a tip if I may, one hour exposures will cause a lot of heat build-up on your sensor,. don't forget to either cool it off,. or bring your exposure times down somehow if you wish to reduce risk of permanent damage to your much-loved gear. Anyway, less from me,. good luck whatever you do.

must admit I hadn't paid much thought to heat build up. It is cold out there so I'd like to think that wouldn't be a problem.
Layering images is an option. However I like to get the result I want from my camera and not photoshop so other techniques will be explored.
Thanks for the advice and as I said before, I will be sure to share the result of your suggestion shortly
