Our pastor is departing and I arranged to take a portrait (not my favorite category) of him for hanging in the church. I had the pastor stand on the threshold of the sanctuary just off center (his left shoulder is butted against the door frame). I opted to reposition the cross on the altar slightly to have it show up and reflect back at the camera. There was a single speed light on a stand with a shoot-thru umbrella just to the left and slightly in front of the pastor. After several captures with the pastor, I did a series without him where I adjusted the shutter speed to get the stained glass window to the correct exposure (or, at least, closer). This is a composite of pastor with some of those other plates. I shot f/2.8 in order to maximize the focus on the pastor, though I am having doubts whether stopped down further to make it more apparent that the window is Jesus with two lambs on either side. Any thoughts or constructive criticism is welcome. Scott
