Steve excellent shots but feel the colour are better & I would like to have seen more detail in the roof areas so pushed the shadows slider a bit more

 

[ProG77]

^Agree. Colour versions definitely better as the B&W versions a tad too dark and a lot of the detail has been lost.

 

[SFTPhotography]

Fair enough. There is room for recovery

Unusually for me I prefer the mono versions of these, agree that more detail in the roof would be good e.g.

I get the edit gramps but do you think it looses too much of the contrast of the original.

 

[gramps]

It probably does working quickly on a 300kb file Steve ... just illustrating what, for me, is a more attractive option of the detail available in the roof - on the original file I am sure that there would be a lot better to be done

I think that's better Steve, the ceiling is such a major part of the structure that it deserves to be displayed

 

[Norkie]

Nice images, what lens was used please?

 

[SFTPhotography]

24-70F2.8. I really need a TSE for this sort of thing, the convergence bothers me slightly.

 

[Norkie]

I think you have managed the converging vert's ok, looks natural

Nice stuff Steve I have walked past on many occasions and never shot it. My daughter lives just down the road so I will have a closer look.
