The question is how best to set the exposure:
- Like it is here to show the choir detail
- Less exposure to keep the stain glass from being washed out
I wanted to retain some detail in the darkest shadows (the upper window frames). As such the windows metered at +6 stops above middle grey. Also I was into reciprocity failure so the exposure was 90 seconds long. Even so the Portra still handled it well. During conversion I could have easily retained more saturation in the windows, but I didn't want to lose the sense of luminosity in the process.
Take two photographs and decide later is another route.
Sure, but at £12 a pop it pays to have some clarity of purpose
Lovely. The sense of airy luminance comes across very well.
