Guildford Cathedral #2

Guildford Cathedral #2

Quite often I like to photograph the not so obvious. The fact this image was taken in Guildford Cathedral is only evident by the glass window but it could be anywhere. The combination of light and shadow is what caught my eye here, since this sort of thing does. I have done a a fair amount of tweaking with this image in Adobe Lightroom by changing the white balance which to start with seemed cold, by using the eyedropper tool to pick an area of white in the image. This then rescued a reasonable amount of tones from the image to push the shadows further and lift the midtones a little more. I am happy with the final result.

  • Wow! This works great. Simple and yet mysterious and dark. I really like the vast dark area at the top. It adds depth and unanswered questions.
