Yeah all the 50mm shots are wide open at f1.4, this is the Sigma 50mm f1.4 which I picked up for £220 second hand

Christ, did you hold them up at gunpoint? That's a bargain!

Yes, very difficult to get a shot because the light was so bad in there. It was taken with a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens as well. Next time I go I might pursuade the Vicar to let me use a tripod, he owes me a favour since I fixed his Computer a few years back

I always use tripods in churches and cathedrals...

Heres mine.

Taken with a Canon IXUS 95 on full automatic.

I think you will agree that the colours, depth and detail are extreme.

Bought it over on the TP forum a while back. I didn't realise it was a good price at the time. I'm sure I've seen them around since for that price. I wish I could afford the £1300 a 70-200L mkII looks to be going for at the moment!

They may have been taken on consecutive years, first when I did have a Fuji, then later when i got the IXUS, but always been stoned as thats all I do. I find spending 50euros to bang a hoe costs to much money.

I love this thread, so when I get some time I will up load some of my Cathedral photos, well done guys.

For the stain glass window shots, I take the exposure compensation was slightly up as the meter will give a different reading fro the exposure ! ?

An absolute beast

You wouldn't happen to know the photography/tripod rules in Worcester cathedral would you? I have just got my first DSLR and want to snap a few pics inside

Andy90 · 4 Sep 2011 at 11:27

Some really nice shots here. Has anyone got any shots of St. Giles Church in Cheadle (the one in Staffordshire not the one in Manchester), the whole interior is by Pugin, it is apparently spectacular.

Neil79 · 4 Sep 2011 at 11:44

How would you have improved this shot?, any tips for re-processing?

I can go back but I very much want to improve my church photography!
