San Francisco de Asis Church

Shots of this church exterior work best in soft or overcast light. David Brookover shot this the stormy afternoon in early October. It was shot at a 20mm focal length equivalent on an 8×10 view camera. Outdoor light in New Mexico is very bright and harsh in the summer. I strongly recommend winter or overcast days as the best time for exterior architectural photography lightwise.
TIMES
Early morning gives the best and softest light. The light may be equally soft just before sunset, but you run the risk of the wind coming up. Indoors, use available light. Flash is intrusive and inappropriate in a house of worship. Respect those in prayer, even if you don’t share their devotion. Flash usage is forbidden in this church.
