Winchester Cathedral
 've
always liked the technical challenge of taking photographs in churches and
cathedrals: this photograph was taken in Winchester Cathedral in October 1985
using an Exa 500 35mm single-lens reflex camera (the baby brother of the long
discontinued Exacta family, made by Ihagee). It wasn't a
particularly expensive camera, but as you see with careful handling it was
capable of fine results. Nowadays I use a medium-priced digital camera, and the
irony is that it won't handle this sort of photo at all well - I would have to
buy a much more expensive one to get similar results. I should admit to using
some digital shaping to get rid of the sloping walls that result when you point
the camera upwards.Click here to see a large version of the photo. There are some more photos taken in the same session on Flickr, including a close-up of the magnificent carved stone screen behind the altar. Posted: Tue - April 24, 2007 at 09:40 AM by Roger Wilmut |
