Thanks for the tips guys.
You are right, of course, a noisy shot is better than no shot. I was about to say I might be able to use flash..will I ever learn? I'll be at least 15 to 20 meters from the altar.
I hadn't thought of going mono Martin, that might work. Again Kris, I should be always shooting in RAW, but don't But as you say, it'll give me more options later.
I'm going to write up some notes for myself, as I'm sure I'll forget something on the day.

What would be the downside to using high ISO settings?
I took some practice shots in our church today, so I have an idea of what settings I need to use at my son's communion. It was an overcast day and the only way I could get reasonable results without using flash were on ISO 3200.
Now, hopefully, on the day ( in May ) it will be lovely and sunny and nice and bright in church, but just in case. If I use a high ISO and frame the image so as not to need any (or much) cropping, should I be able to get decent quality prints?

Congratulations!!
I'll have to send some of mine in to BBC NW.

Cragside is well worth a visit, but it is huge! The house is nice, but for me it was the grounds. It needs more than one day to get around it all, which was a shame as we only found the place on our last day there.
I got to Lindisfarne whilst I was up there, but have very few useful shots, the weather was appalling ( rained every day ).
It's only taken me since last August to sort through these . If I find any more useful ones I'll put them up on here.

Ted, is it me, or you set up your gear (or processing software) to higher than default saturation levels (vivid colours)?
My favourite is no.2 - with the water flowing down the waterfall, nice place. Probably it would look even better with blue sky (CPL filter?) - but it is beautiful anyway.
I have manually increased the saturation ( quite a bit ) as the sky was grey overcast and although it was quite bright, the colours were a bit dull. Do you think I've overdone it?Ted, is it me, or you set up your gear (or processing software) to higher than default saturation levels (vivid colours)?

Clarky, it was a private house, but it is now in National Trust ownership. Museum, is probably not the right word, but it is close enough

Tis a fair point.

Some of my photos of Cragside in Northumberland, taken last year on holiday.
As always C&C wanted.

Good advice, thanks. I'll try to remember it.
I am still conscious that I need to slow down and also explore the subject, rather than "just" photograph it.
