The North Yorks Moors aren't far from Durham Paul but I don't know the Old or Young Ralphs.

I'm one of those on this forum with a fascination for black and white. But as you say there's a time and place and in this case I prefer Tim's colour shots to these monos, good as they are.

This is a good theme to work on Paul. You have to search closely to find the the cross in #2 though.

This is just how sunsets should be photographed, with an inetresting silhouette in the foreground. Well done. To crop or not to crop? that's your call.

This is a priceless record of history being made, well done. I like them all but I'm particularly interested in I used to play here. The graffito is in English.

Its a fine set of pictures Tim but my pick is the first one, which could be a side street anywhere in Europe just as much as the Far East, and the last one. The urban gardeners could be peasants working in a paddy field but te city centre backdrop gives the game away.

In my experience there seem to be more Pentaxes about than previously. There were quite a few at Whitby when we went to the Goths, that's in addition to the usual gang who go from PU.
When I go to photograph a steam train on a main line charter train there are always dozens of other photographers, and invariably there some other Pentaxes.

Great idea and processing. I wonder if pouring coffee into the computer would help my post processing technique.

Here it is Tim; inside Chester Cathedral. This is Brother Ranulf.

Bernard: A guide in Newcastle Cathedral told me the misericords are Victorian but based on medieaval examples. Most of the stained glass in Newcastle is also from the late 1800s, the original Middle Ages glass was destroyed at the time of the Reformation.

I'll try the vignetting Anderew, it sounds like a good idea. I like photographing coloured glass and have quite a few from the National Glass Centre at Sunderland as well as in various cathedrals. Exposure is critical because its so easy to blow the highlights when you're photographing from inside a dark area. The way I do it is to underexpose by anything from 2/3rds to 2 full stops depending on lighting conditions outside the cathedral. If you maintain detail on the highlights it's easy to pull back the darker coloured area in the glass.
