Description

I achieved the “cloud motion” look in the sky by keeping my camera's shutter open for four minutes at sunset while using a 10-stop neutral-density filter. I fired an off-camera flash manually during the exposure to light up the building a bit. The historic Smyrna Church (constructed 1857) near Searcy has gone through extensive restoration but it is the oldest church building in Arkansas.
