Bath Abbey Aisle Vertorama
Over Christmas I stayed with family in Bath in the West of England giving the chance of taking some more shots of Bath Abbey. I noticed that their website had recently changed with a very sensible new policy about the use of Tripods. They permit Tripods to be used without prior consent between 9.00 and 10.00am. Outside those hours an advance permit applied for prior to the day of visit is required. Most serious Photographers would want to come early anyway to avoid a lot of tourists getting in the pictures. This image is an HDR Vertorama comprising 2 images looking down the central Aisle
Three different churches have occupied the site of today’s Abbey since 757 AD. First, an Anglo-Saxon monastery which was pulled down by the Norman conquerors of England; then a massive Norman cathedral which was begun about 1090 but lay in ruins by the late 15th century; and finally, the present Abbey Church as we now know it. Another claim to fame is that the first King of all England, King Edgar was crowned on this site in 973.
The weather conditions were ideal for taking this kind of interior image being dull with no sun to create excessive dynamic range. There was also the benefit of the interior being well lit giving a warm feel. The picture was taken with a tripod with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10 mm. I took 3 shots for HDR for each of the images both processed in Photomatix using the same settings of fusion Interior for a natural look. In Photoshop Elements which I have on my laptop I used the panorama function in Guided Edits to merge the images. More detail and adjustments with Topaz Clarity and also use of crop and clone tools
