Post Your Interior Architectural Photographs here

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 pulled back the windows more, 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

Someone has to stimulate the economy. If not you, who?
 
A bit more balanced version. The top middle is Wells. Most recently seen in the film Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Lovely. The sense of airy luminance comes across very well.

Good to hear. My initial approach was to go more high key with the ceiling. It lacked the feeling of depth that I believe this version brings. As I get older, I'm finding subtlety can be more dramatic, while at the same time, much more difficult to achieve.

    I always liked this one alot. The mineral stratification on the walls in the lobby, are identical to the stacking of mineral deposits in this area. I like the various fossil imprints which influenced the overall architecture of the space.
