Ely Cathedral ultrawideangle interior

wow. kaleidoscopic

Thanks! I've been meaning to take shots like these for ages, but today was my first chance.

There will be bigger files, for zooming-in on the ceiling detail, on Flickr later :)

Wow, thanks very much for the highlight!

Great set, do love the lantern - got that proper dizzy Ely feel. :)

Thank you :D

I'm enjoying these, but what's that black squiggle in the last shot?

It's a recent addition, topped with a cross, and may represent the path to salvation, or something like that :)

Life goal: Fly to England. Go to Ely. Get Euphro to show around the Cathedral.

These are so fabulous Euphro!

:D

What an amazing place. Very dizzy now. Love these pics.

That's a worthy life goal Silar. Swamprose and I spent only one afternoon in Ely with Euphro, and it was not enough!

Always happy to show people around :)

Fabulous!
That top ceiling shot especially.
You went for the Sigma then?
Mine's virtually glued to the camera body. No more walking backwards to try and get everything in.

Thanks! Yes, I did go for the Sigma. It's a great lens and it lives on the D40. There are much higher res versions and a lot more on Flickr now :)

superb lens for Ely.

oh so jealous of that lens! i'd love to do that with lincoln cathedral, i've always felt like i could take a thousand pictures and never capture it properly, this lens would do it! i love how stained glass casts coloured shadows on columns, there's a fab photo my dad took at my graduation in the cathedral like that. your flickr ones are great :)

Thank you very much :D

If you'd like to see where you could get this lens second-hand, which is what I did, then drop me a line :)

Thank you for sharing these fantastic shots. Just found them and shared on Facebook :)
