Vespers
Beverley Minster, East Yorkshire, UK.
Beverley Minster, in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire is a parish church in the Church of England. It is generally regarded as the most impressive (architecturally speaking) church in England that is not a cathedral.
Originally a collegiate church, it was not selected as a bishop’s seat during the Dissolution of the Monasteries; nevertheless it survived as a parish church, and the chapter house was the only major part of the building to be lost. It is part of the Greater Churches Group and a Grade 1 Listed building.
The Minster owes its origin and much of its subsequent importance to St John of Beverley, who founded a monastery locally around 700 AD and whose bones still lie beneath a plaque in the nave. The institution grew after his death and underwent several rebuildings. After a serious fire in 1188, the subsequent reconstruction was overambitious; the newly heightened central tower collapsed c. 1213 bringing down much of the surrounding church. Work on the present structure began around 1220. ~ Wikipedia

Samantha Lewan...
It’s brilliant! I know nothing about HDR… I wouldn’t know where to start, you’re a very clever cookie :)
Sarah Pett-Noble replied
\you just take a handful of shots, starting at a low exposure and gradually increasing the exposure, then when you merge them together to create a composite. I still had to tweak it a bit,

Sarah Pett-Noble replied
Thanks sooo much, Jennifer, this was an HDR merge, my first attempt. Its a beautiful building, well worth a visit, but it was very dark so I was glad I’d taken my heavy tripod (which is actually taller than I am when fully extended!!!) so I could do a longish exposure. xx

Love this shot Sarah, I cant see the vespa scooter but that doesn’t matter because the image works superbly without it. Not sure the church would appreciate a vespa scooter inside the building anyway!!
This is a fav shot!! xx

LOL Robin, I don’t know, maybe a vespa would give it a more cosmopolitan feel hehe. Thanks a million xx
