St Mary’s Cathedral

8 July 2010 · 3 comments · tagged with , ,

I found the architecture of St Mary’s in Perth rather intriguing for a cathedral. Most of the cathedrals I’ve seen are very square, and often cross shaped at a bird’s eye view. This one was very round, You can just see it in this photo: at the sides the supports, the not-quite-flying-buttresses are attached to some kind of arch. Very modern. Thanks to Wikipedia I now know that particular bit of architecture was built 2006–2009. So, quite recent indeed.

Beautiful light… that 300s does an incredible job with noise reduction. Nice image!

I love the shadows on this one. It looks like a setting for a Dean Koontz book.

James — Thanks! Yes, the D300s is much better at higher ISOs than the D50 (or any of the lower-end Nikons with the CCD sensor, I suspect). Not that they are bad cameras at all, but I quite like how easy it is to push this one further.

Oscar — Cheers! I haven’t read him, but I think I know what you mean ;-)
