I was running rather low on options by the time I had time to do any photography today. Having finished my teaching for the day I found myself in Chichester under a leaden sky and with virtually no light to play with. I’m afraid I cheated and headed for my favourite haunt in times of photographic desperation – the Cathedral cloisters! This view is of the glazed part of the cloisters which, unfortunately, I had to shoot through a glass door. My shutter speeds were sinking perilously low so I’m amazed I managed to capture any images that were even reasonably sharp!

Very neat!!! Ryana · 2011-01-14: 12:51

Bravo Helen ! You and your Lensaby work wonders josy63 · 2011-01-14: 15:08

Uho. I never thought of a "quick living church". Everytime I think of churches, I feel quiet, peace, cessation... You turn my world up side down. :D thanks for that snowpie · 2011-01-14: 15:29

Oh I really like the effect in this one - I guess its the lensbaby - but it is perfect with the colouring cariad · 2011-01-14: 15:41

For all the obstacles, you still managed to get a great shot! Annabelle33 · 2011-01-14: 17:35
