Ely Cathedral Image
The one you (Heuschrecke) have just added is better lit than the previous one and benefits from the trees not being in leaf, but the angle is not as good with the foreground brick buildings. I would like to see a winter image (no leaves) taken from the hill near Stuntney (52.376 0.281) preferably with early morning light and the low ground covered with mist! I am based over a hundred miles away and might travel myself, but a local to do a recce would be welcome. Probably a 300mm telephoto needed. SovalValtos (talk) 10:24, 16 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for your comment. If you like the previous picture more, please feel free to revert. Surely, the composition of the painting was much better. Thanks for suggesting the location, I'll try to make a shot, although it could happen my lens is insufficient. (I use a 135mm lens for old 35mm film cameras fitted with the help of an adaptor to my Canon 550D which makes it an equivalent of roughly 200mm by crop-factor.)


 * I am not going to revert now as there is not much between them. The earlier version, presumably taken from somewhere near Causeway farm would benefit from lighting manipulation, and I am not sure that is allowed. I do not understand what you mean by 'the composition of the painting was much better'. The subject deserves the very best in images, to my mind even more so than King's chapel. Are you aware of actual paintings, prints, engravings etc of it, as there could be useful comparisons in a gallery with modern photos? SovalValtos (talk) 16:14, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
