For quite awhile I have had this idea in the back of my brain.
"How much, if any, black is required in black & white photography?"
The linked photos were taken on a recent trip to Saints Cyril and Methodius 
Church in Dubina, TX.
The church windows belong to Trinity Lutheran Church, Frelsburg, TX.

One more. An attempt at platinum toning.

I plan to explore the opposite side of the question as well. I guess that 
means taking a camera out after dark. Something new for me.

Thank for looking. Helpful critiques encouraged and appreciated.
