High Contrast Black and White Church Photos

[thecryptofiend]

---

Introduction

---

Here are some more Church photos I've been experimenting with in Black and White. I have been trying to pull out more of the texture in the stone work.

I'm not sure if they are too extreme with the contrast and vignetting though? Let me know.

As always feel free to use them in your own posts as per Steemit4free.
