Stained Glass (dialup warning)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

On Easter Saturday a few of us took our cameras along to Christ Church Cathedral in Newcastle. They were setting up flowers for Easter Sunday and the place smelt fantastic. This batch of pics is my favourite shots of the stained glass. Many more can be found here. All shots were taken with the 24-120 VR. Click a pic for a larger version.

Great shots Stubbs. Stained windows are always fun arent they! One of them in there might look a bit better with some perspective correction?
Smile; it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

how did you get them so vivid without overexposing them?

Thanks for the comments guys.

Wendell - It was in the afternoon and most of the glass was on the southern side of the church.

Stubbsy,
really nicely done as expected from you :) .

It is kind of sad that this is an art for which the skills are being lost in society

Very nice Peter,

I was trying to figure out how you would compose these shots as there was a great deal of dynamic range between the glass and the bricks.

It just goes to show that you lean something new every day. :wink:
