This is the work of Mark Bailey submitted for the Coventry Cathedral Creative Competition - enjoy.
Mark shares not only his images, but his insight and technique also:
"Coventry Cathedral is a wonderful place for creative photography.
During my visit I regularly found myself swapping between a 14-24mm wide angle lens and a 16mm fisheye. Both of these lenses provide the 'get it all in' effect I was trying to obtain from this large interesting space. Due to the low light I opted to take high dynamic range (HDR) images to ensure I was making the most of available light.
HDR allows a wider contrast range within an image, which offers enhanced detail in both bright and dark areas of a picture. It necessitates taking multiple pictures of the same subject with each image taken at different exposures. These separate images are then blended together to create one single image.
I hope my images help to portray the colour, grand space and wonderful light of the Cathedral.”
