Ballylaggan Reformed Presbyterian Church lies close to Agivey in the district of Aghadowey, on Curran Road, the road between Kilrea and Coleraine.

I often pass this church on the journey from Randalstown to Portrush, and I’ve often wanted to make a photograph of it. Its austere architecture denotes its Covenanter / Presbyterian heritage and its rural location gives it an attractive surround. But we’re always in a hurry, and I’ve never had time to stop…

Today was no different. But I was forearmed! With my wife, Janette driving the car, and the Fujifilm X-T30 camera set to focus on moving images, with a shutter speed of 1/500th sec on ISO640, I wound the car window down, focussed and clicked – several times. Shooting in RAW, I processed the image in Photoshop, and with a little bit of airbrushing to remove some intrusive objects, including a lamp post, – I had a reasonably acceptable image of Ballylaggan!

Here’s the original, shot from a car window at 50MPH,
