Fabulous shot.

Durham is worth a visit too - but I'm not sure how camera/tripod friendly it is at the moment.

Thanks Martin. Yes that's the problem with some of these places; if you have a "serious" camera it is often assumed you are out to make money from the endeavour. At York I got basically no hassle at all other than a couple of polite questions, but then at that point they've already made at least £12.50 from you just getting in the door. Other places which don't charge an entry fee may not be quite as accommodating...

Beautiful Gabe

Thanks Patrick, much appreciated.

Was exceeding the image circle of the lens a bit here, but I quite like the effect.

They have a good website: https://www.durhamcathedral.co.uk/visit-us/photography

When i visisted a few years back they organised special photography events in the evenings. Tripods and big camera's where no issue at these events, but otherwise they were rpetty strict on photography.

"Photos for personal use taken on ordinary handheld cameras and/or mobile phones is encouraged."

See this is the kind of thing I mean. Vague terms like "ordinary handheld cameras" give them license to refuse you if you look too "serious", even sans tripod.

I think principally what motivates policies such as these is grubbing as much money out of people as possible, something which sadly happens all too often when it comes to our cultural heritage. Don't get me started on the National Trust.

Gabe, these are very nice. It would be interesting to see a larger series of head-on, very symmetrical church interior images like that. I know it can be very difficult to get just right!

Thanks. Yes it could make for an interesting series. As you say, difficult or impossible to get them exact because the buildings themselves are not perfectly symmetrical. I have some other shots still to post which are not straight-on.

What would be nice would be to have solo access, and for all interior clutter to be removed so just the building itself could be appreciated without distraction (something Frederick Evans was able to enjoy). Doubtless a pipe dream however.
