Summary

[edit]
Description
English: St Matthew's Church in Paisley is an Art Nouveau church built in 1905–07. The architect, W. D. McLennan, designed the building and many interior furnishings, including the organ case, font and pulpit. This view of the interior is from the rear gallery and features the stained glass window by Robert Anning Bell.


The church interior consists of a wide nave with galleries to the right side and the rear. The pulpit on the left hand side features a wooden crown of thorns above. The right of the choir features a large organ, which is still in use. A number of small rooms are found around the church along with halls to the rear. A tulip motif appears throughout the building, featuring on woodwork, stone, stained glass, the pulpit's brass lectern, and even the light switches. The windows are mostly plain white with small coloured-glass features. The exception is the huge stained glass window on the west side behind the choir — this is not the original (which was similar in design to the others) but was replaced as a memorial to the Great War.


Photographer's notes: I took this photograph from the rear gallery with a Sony A33 camera and Tamron 17-50mm lens at 17mm, mounted on a tripod. In order to capture the dynamic range I took seven photographs at ISO 100, f/8 from 1/40 to 5s (possibly the darkest of which was not required). I used Lightroom to apply lens distortion-correction and a mild degree of noise reduction.Then I aligned and merged them in Photoshop to produce a 32-bit HDR tiff that was re-imported to Lightroom. Finally I adjusted the levels and applied a very small amount of vertical, horizontal and rotational transformation to fix the camera angle.
This is a photo of listed building number
39007.
