Thanks, Larry!
That reminds me of the old saw about the difference between Baptists and
Catholics: Catholics will say hi to you at the liquor store. :-)
And yes, that would be a great place to try a little layering of
bracketed exposures. I was strolling down the sidewalk with friends
when I took this one, and didn't want to hold everyone else up, so I
just turned on the camera, popped it into "landscape" and fired. The
sky just happened to be a really beautiful shade of blue that day. One
of these days, I really do need to get back downtown and shoot some of
the older buildings before they get turned to dust in an earthquake --
and it won't take much of one to do it.

A shot I took on the way into the bar I went to yesterday for St. Pat's to
have a Guinness or two. It's one of the older buildings in town (Paducah,
KY), where I really should get around to shooting some of the architecture
one of these days.

As always, comments, critiques and suggestions welcome.
Of course the Episcopal church is across the street from the bar. I hear that
they're a very social sect, any time you get four of them together, you're
bound to find a fifth.
Oh, it's a nice photo too. Though with those dark shadows in contrast with the
sunlit side it is one of those cases where I would just autobracket my raw
exposures, just in case I ever get around to doing HDR. I don't go for that
wild tone mapping HDR style, but there are times it would be nice to be able to
pull more detail out of the highlights and shadows if the shot turns out to be
a keeper.
It occurs to me that with the K-5, it has so much more dynamic range at low
ISO, I should increase my bracketing range, at least at low ISO.
Lovely old church, well captured. Love the deep blue sky!
I agree. The sky, and sunlit bricks are metered perfectly.
What's Landscape mode do?
cheers,
frank
