Didn't think this would turn out, as I needed to open up the lens to almost full aperture using a shutterspeed of1/60sec, taken in Blackburn cathedral, the almost directly overhead sunlight was streaming down through the cathedral's lantern tower an illuminating the steps and pillar with this brilliant orange glow.

Great shot :thumbsup:

Thanks Melody, and welcome aboard.

Remarkably well-exposed for the conditions at hand.  I fiddled a little with it in GIMP, but I can't say I found anything I like better than your version.

Might be worth going back to get a denser negative on faster film; the composition is great, and that color is otherworldly.

It has an interesting interplay of light, shadows, color tones, and geometrics.

Tough conditions.  Looks a little washed out.  Not sure if that's the effect of the light or the harsh conditions you were dealing with.
