Just some pictures I took at St Davids Cathedral in Wales, and as a sad fact St Davids is also the UKs smallest city which is no bigger than most villages.

As you can tell I love stained glass windows. Hope everyone likes them.

Superb set.

Did you have to get permission to shot in the cathedral?

I asked at the little shop they have in there, and the lady said it was fine, as long as I didn't disturb the service that was in progress.
Which is the reason why all the shots where handheld, so I couldn't get them perfect. Plus your not aloud to use a flash.

Lovely set of photos well done. I would love to try out some photo shoots at Durham but your not allowed to take photos inside.

I will never understand how some let you take pictures and others don't. Some of the best documents of historic sites have been taken by your average joe, all you need is a brick thrown by some yob and the history of a stained glass window could be lost forever.

Some of these are nice photos. You should have a go at resizin' 'em and combinin' 'em into one photograph, they'd look great.

Da iawn!! Ardderchog!!

Great shots of a lovely place. Particularly the last one.

How did you manage to get the windows all square? Did you use s/w to correct the distortion/perspective? Or were you standing on a pew?

Diolch yn iawn lawer, I better stop with the Welsh or I will confuse everyone!!!
I used Perspective correction which is part of P.S.P. as best I could, but the last one was just a straight on shot.
