cathedral window by ingrid2101

cathedral window

Up far too late scanning negs last night . This is one of the windows in the St Magnus cathedral, driving past there last Sat I realised the sun was in the perfect position so dragged the kids in and took some photos. I'd love to be Inspector Gadget and get right up there to take detailed shots
camera Nikon FE
Kodak gold 400
C41 kit dev 3:20
bleach 4 mins
stab 1 min
OK I don't normally say this but it definately looks better large on black
cool colours

This is an optical illusion. It looked like some 3 D rounded cube when I first looked at it. Then as I studied it I could see the reflection on the window frame. Such fun. Like the drawing " A woman or a vase"

Glorious! It really is...
February 26th, 2013  
Love this. Stained glass is so beautiful when it lights up and reflects like this.
February 26th, 2013  
beautiful shot Ingrid. How long had you had this shot in your head before you were passing at exactly the right moment!
February 26th, 2013  
Just beautiful !!! The reflection makes it a fav for me :)
February 26th, 2013  
Beautiful and unusual shot Ingrid.
February 26th, 2013  
Fav great light
February 26th, 2013  
Amazing work, the lights are fantastic. I admire your ability to catch this on film and develop it yourself.
February 26th, 2013  
nice low light
February 26th, 2013  
Cool colors and great capture of colored light on adjacent structure.
February 26th, 2013

Thank you for the comments :)
@gwhit123 A few months actually George! Just being off work on the perfect day, I'd spoken to the custodian who told me the best time to get light through the windows

@peterdegraaff Thank you Peter, we've had glorius sun for days now - very lucky for this time of year
@endrem Thank you Endre, I was surprised at how easy colour film is to develop
@abhijit @studiombkcom @ Thank you :)
February 26th, 2013  
You are amazing. FAV! the colors are WOW!! We could use some sun here. Wa is so darn rainy. I have a few rolls to develop and scan so yes it maybe a late night for me too. Scanning is my least loved thing.
February 26th, 2013  
Wicked shot Ingrid. The colours are amazing. So worth the time to see large. Well done!!
February 26th, 2013  
@masosy Thank you Kate :)
@aprilmilani Thanks April, we've been unseasonally lucky and this is probably our summer - boohoo. I don't like scanning either as I'm doing it high enough tp print as well so it takes ages !
February 26th, 2013  
I adore stained glass.. loving the colors you captured and the reflections on the dark wood really make the colors even more beautiful.. lovely indeed :-)
February 26th, 2013  
Just stunning Ingrid - those reflections on the masonry are gorgeous - that is one beautiful window! : ) fav
February 26th, 2013  
Absolutely beautiful!!!
February 27th, 2013  
Beautiful capture!!
February 27th, 2013  
Ingrid, these colours are incredible - intense and deep. This is a beautiful photo.
February 27th, 2013  
So nice! It's remember me the churches in Cracow , where I was studying . Beautiful colors and great photo!
February 27th, 2013  
@mizhayz Thank you, I love stained glass too, glad you like it!
@rennes Thank you Lisa! It was better in real life- hard to capture this kind of thing
@julieb65 @genesis_one @gailmmeek @konradkoszucki
Thank you all for looking and commenting, very much appreciated!
February 27th, 2013  
Lovely shot again. Would also love to say 'Go Go Gadget legs' to get me up to high places.
February 27th, 2013  
Wow Ingrid, love how the coloured light through the stained glass falls on the stone walls. Big fav
February 27th, 2013  
fabtastic colour, lovely framing, I dont want the gadget option, it has context like this
February 27th, 2013  
beautiful shot, know what you mean about having go go gadget legs to zoom up close!
February 28th, 2013  
@thirtysevenways Thank you, it would be so handy
@primitiveprobe Thank you Andreas - much appreciated
@chewyteeth Thank you Dave but you don't have to use them - be good for getting things out of cupboards too.?
February 28th, 2013  
@ingrid2101
How high are your cupboards, my normal limbs have no problems with cupboards, not as yet.
February 28th, 2013  
@chewyteeth Top shelf's a bitch
February 28th, 2013  
Great shot - spotted. planned and captured. On top of that you went and developed it! A fav.
February 28th, 2013  
@chewyteeth I'm not very tall _ i'd actually prefer to float, that would be fun
February 28th, 2013  
@dave_rv Thank you so much Dave, it was more luck - had this one in the back of my mind for a while and just in the right time right place
February 28th, 2013  
Super colour and framing ... much better large as you say. What scanner are you using? I'm in the market.
February 28th, 2013  
@automaticslim Thanks AS ( sorry, do you have another name:) ) I have an Epson V100 photo - I can't say whether it's good or bad as it's the only one I've had that does film, but it's ok, I can't be much help and I know it's probably an important part but there's too much info in the digital world :)
February 28th, 2013  
Thanks Ingrid, I'm Andy by the way. :-) Presumably this scanner will take 120 film, but will it do 6x9 negatives do you think?
March 1st, 2013  
@automaticslim Andy - get something else it doesn't do 120!! I've never scanned 120 before and just realised the squares were for slides duh, which is a pain as I have some ready for developing and now can't scan them. I'm glad you asked as I was going to develop a roll soon and would have probably cried - I did wonder why the square sections were seperated. Thankfully it didn't cost much :(
March 1st, 2013  
Stunning colours!

Fantastic colours - looks great large

Gorgeous colors and light refractions. When stained glass window shots work they really rock.
