The romanesque church in Gernrode

26. July 2009 by Friedhelm.

Thanks to my wife Nancy, a research librarian,  I was able to photograph this romanesque church at the northern edge of the Harz mountains in a small unknown community named Gernrode. This church was build around 956AD and it is pretty much in original condition. You can read about it at the following link http://books.google.com/books?id=N9Nf-GHTgnEC&pg=PA300&lpg=PA300&dq=church+gernrode&source=bl&ots=TWFbSaR5mk&sig=Ulm1oAM44Fz9KaII0HmxrA2DxcI&hl=en&ei=XD1sSqLVPITSsQOAiaiWBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6

My photographic eye caught the beauty of the crypt. I combined three different exposed images into one HDR image which I edited then with a small free program called Shift N 3.5. This program can be downloaded for free and it helps to create proper perspective of buildings. Here is the link www.shiftn.de

Happy photographing!
