Rusty Church Bell Photo

Photographer’s Note

Due to the unabailability of bigger BELL, some rural church in Sabah used to find other alternative as replacement for the church bell. As we see here, this "bell" was made from a lorry wheel. This bell was 25 years old according to one of the church member. When I took the shot I have to use flash and adjust the aperture and shutter speed in order to capture both the bell and the sky.

Wow, amazing result! The flash gives this "bell" a very fresh and clear appearance, almost unreal. And using the blue sky with clouds as a background without including anything "earthy" in your picture is an excellent choice. It gives the picture a very strong graphic and sci-fi feeling. And you note adds the "Trek Earth" value to this picture. Good work!

You should see the school in Kudat which had used the conehead shell of a 2nd World War bomb as its "official" school bell.

Your idea of using fill in flash and getting the background sky, make this bell, a lot more interesting to look and study. Good work Andy.
