Salisbury #5 Cathedral Nave (1220-1258)

Spectacular! One day I hope to get there with a camera.

@Eric Rose Very kind of you. I would highly recommend it. There is a lot to see both in Salisbury and nearby. You could combine it with Stonehenge for example (it's only 10 miles from Salisbury). We stayed in an hotel called the Red Lion. An old fashioned and very ancient hotel. Charming, quirky and made a good base for a weekend. It's 800 years old and they say the oldest, purpose built hotel as an actual hotel, in Europe. I loved it and would go back for a long weekend anytime. PS: the cathedral also has the world's oldest working clock (1386) and the best contemporary copy of Magna Carta (1215, there are only 4 surviving copies from the time). Nice to talk you again Eric. Best Wishes, Stephen.

Awesome photo! I love this series of yours

@Nodda Duma Many thanks. I enjoyed taking the photos.

Clearly similar (Gothic) architecture to the Barcelona cathedral (see link). The perspective looks very clean. Do you have a tilt lens?

@markjwyatt Yes Gothic but in the Early English Gothic style that differs from the European style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Gothic_architecture

No I don't own a tilt lens or shift lens. This camera has a fixed wide angle lens (lens is not interchangeable). This makes architectural photographs difficult. The only way I have found to partially overcome the limitations of the lens is to try to avoid any odd tilt to the camera. That mean staying on the centre line of the building and making sure the camera is as level horizontally as possible. It does limit the photos I can take and it makes the process slow which is not straightforward if a cathedral is busy. I could look for a shift lens for my Olympus OM equipment but I cannot justify the cost just for architectural photos. The OM shift lenses remain rather expensive (around £350 or more) which is rather a luxury but I do look from time to time.......
