Reason: The five images in the set all show interesting and highly detailed views of the stonework, woodwork and architectural style of the cathedral. Of note is the asymmetrical arches and incomplete pillars of the nave which is the result of disruptions of the Reformation in the 1530s when work was stopped on the cathedral. Hopefully people are sick of artwork instead of cathedrals at the moment. ;-)

Comment - Rather serious ghosting on the view of the gift shop (!). Person moving, across different exposures I believe. Any chance to reduce that, even a little? The two people drawing in Nave 1 also. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:22, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, not possible to reduce that. It's not movement between exposures, it's movement within exposures and I've done all I can to minimise it. The problem is that to get a wide depth of field, I have to use f/13, and inside dark cathedrals, that means exposures up to around 10-15 seconds for the longest exposure in the bracket so if there are people in the shot, they will most likely ghost. I guess we've been lucky enough that most of my images have no people in them, but here, it was impossible to avoid. A few from the front of the nave looking back to the entrance is never going to be devoid of people because that's where the volunteer guides tend to stand and it's where all the visitors stand and gawk (or in this case, look through the gift shop items! Yes, most English Anglican cathedrals have gift shops. ;-) ). In the case of the nave 1 image, those people were sitting there pretty much permanently (they were there to demonstrate some kind of art) and couldn't be avoided in that view of the nave.

Fair enough. They are pretty much invisible at thumbnail size anyways, and I understand your pain (oh so much... but still, gift shops? Don't think I've seen that in Canada or in Indonesia) so support. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:57, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually in Lithuania at the moment (a kind of Wiki sponsored thing), and trust me, Eastern European Catholic/Orthodox cathedrals are infinitely worse as far as gift shops go. They sell all kinds of kitschy bling relating to this saint or that, and of course lots and lots of candles. Although English cathedrals are definitely tourist attractions too, I wouldn't say most people are visiting because they're strongly religious, most are just interested in the history or architecture. Definitely not like that in Lithuania, where most of the visitors seem very religious. Still, for the most part I haven't felt unwelcome or intimidated taking photos in there. Stay tuned for some Lithuania-themed nominations... Ðiliff «» (Talk) 14:07, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

St. Anne's Church, Vilnius

Ðiliff, if you're in Vilnius (with its countless churches), be sure to visit the unique St. Anne's, will you? Sca (talk) 14:34, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Hafspajen, could you clarify what you were trying to say with the above? ;-) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 19:58, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
