A quickie break from Venice! We had a Camera Club evening outing this last Monday, visiting the tiny Chantry Chapel of St Mary the Virgin, which only 1 of 6 such chapels remaining in England, and stands in the middle of a medieval bridge built in the 1340s over the River Calder in Wakefield. As the Chapel is only open on a few certain days of the year – plus once a month for services - it was arranged for us to have access on Monday evening. I did upload a set of images back in October 2009 (click here for these images & more info on the Chapel), and thought it worth another airing.
However, silly me forget to change back the settings to manual ISO on my camera after experimenting with it set to auto ISO, and having the camera mounted on my tripod so I could use a setting of 100 ISO, the camera had decided that was too low and I came away with most of my images at 1600 ISO Sad I didn’t realise until I got home and loaded them onto the computer!

1/3 sec, F11, 10mm, ISO 1600
Single Raw image processed in Adobe Camera Raw, tweaked in Elements 6, with some assistance from Topaz Adjust.

Thanks again to everyone for your votes & comments on my previous uploads, it really is appreciated and encouraging.

What a beautiful little chapel, such gorgeous details captured here Trev. Cameras do things on their own ALL the time, at least mine does! Wink Aggravating isn't it? But this shot came out so well.

Those wall lights are eerie!
After a visit to a museum that didn't allow flash, I walked round Paris for quite a while before remembering that the camera was still on ISO 3200. I'm glad I didn't see anything unrepeatable!

I bet some of your members were taking this image using HDR Trev , It looks just fine even if the ISO setting was wrong and determined by some camera maker in Japan. I expect that some Topaz has got rid of any noise for you .Love the lights. Do you do these in Photoshop because I would have thought you needed an aperture of F22 or beyond to achieve these so good ?.....Phil

What a lovely opportunity to visit this charming little chapel and despite the high ISO, it's an excellent image Trev.

I came back from a day at a conservation park recently, a clear sunny day, to find virtually all my shots had been on 1600. The reason? My new camera has the on/off switch at front right, unlike my old one where it was at the back of the camera. Just a few millimetres away is the wheel to adjust the aperture. I am only now just about training myself to check that I don't inadvertently spin this wheel when switching the camera on or off - on that day I'd mistakenly set it to f25 Sad.

Excellent Trev, puts mine to shame, Wink

Time to be a little picky Wink
A little burnt out on the statue to the right and I would love to see more detail in the ceiling.

Gripe out of the way, this is a well balanced composition and you have captured the stained glass so nicely!

Nice one.
Jon
