I really like something about these, not sure what, but the first three need a straighten!

What an amazing place! Lines are so clean - that #4 looks almost graphic with those trees. One to definitely go on my 'To Visit' list - thanks for sharing!

I Got the spire on No3 absolutely straight but it put the rest out so i stopped trying i just like taking photo's

Actually 4 is fine, I was mainly talking about 2 and 3, and if you're not going to correct the verticals, then you need to just straighten the ground, so at least all the verticals will be converging...well....vertically!

I know these are in sharing, and you can say you just like taking photos as much as you like, and perhaps that is your goal, but if you want to become a much better photographer, it is essential to start taking notice of these things early before they become a bad habit...not trying to be mean, it's just that excuses tend to lead to either lack of improvement or regression!

Thank you very much

Great shots !

Chimpster · 13-03-2008, 17:58

Heh, pleasant surprise to see this shot

The Mrs and I were actually married at that building as we're both members of the church. I love the look of the Preston Temple although the grounds are nicer at the London one... Picture below

Interesting looking place.

morlandroger · 14-03-2008, 07:34

Great shots. I fly past that place on the M61 regularly and have meant to have a go myself. It looks particularly good when floodlit.

I dont think you can get in the grounds at night when its lit up the barrier is down, it would have to be a distance shot

Chimpster · 14-03-2008, 10:05

You could actually. It's open fairly late on some nights and in wintertime it would almost certainly get dark enough for some nice shots of it lit up. Some days it doesn't close till around 10pmish.
