Lichfield Cathedral

Photographers Comments
My first visit to lichfield Cathedral and first shots in low light inside a church/cathedral building. Any thoughts?

Hi Maureen,
a nice sharp image with good DoF. Nice warm colours and good details in the shadow areas. For me though the position from where you stood is a little disturbing. Personally I would have utilised the aisle looking straight down towards the alter adding symmetry to the final image, but this is only my preference.

If it moves shoot it. If it doesn't move, still shoot it.

Thanks for looking Phil. I know what you mean and you're right. I was a little nervous about taking pictures and there was a service going on so I stayed at the side. I plan on going back very soon. This cathedral is amazing and there was lots of interest to photograph. Unfortunately my son took a tumble and we had to leave prematurely.

Sometimes it can be confusing about the rights to taking photographs inside churches and Cathedrals. Some of these buildings are covered by their own copyrights and often object to photographs being taken. However this is often covered with advanced warning upon entry with 'no camera' signs. When posssible to take the photographs, and a service is going on, always avoid flash. (This tends to annoy the clergy) But generally they should expect such a beautiful building to be photographed and would be used to people standing central to the aisle pointing their cameras forward.

They didn't seem bothered by me taking any photographs but I still felt a little nervous. I didn't use a flash. thanks for the great advice. I'm really looking forward to going back

Hi Maureen...can you believe they showed "The Antiques Road Show" from Litchfield on BBC Prime here yesterday.....strange but true.

I quite like the angle of this shot it adds interest to the arches on the RHS and also to the high ceiling. My preference, but I think Phil will agree that everybody see's things from a different perspective...LOL
