Derby Cathedral Inside & Out
On Sunday went into Derby for lunch then went for a walk around Derby and we took a look inside the Cathedral (the Uk's smallest Anglican Cathedral).
Again I took with me my trusty Hs10 and my Fisheye lens which helps to get some shots of the whole building
View across the street from the Cathedral
The Cathedral of All Saints is the smallest Anglican Cathedral in England.
the Cathedral is built in a Gothic, Neoclassical style
The Tower stands 212 Feet tall and contains the oldest ring of Ten Bells in the United Kingdom.
At the Back of the Cathedral is the Cathedral green which also has a statue of Bonnie Prince Charles commemorating his visit in 1745. The furthest south he got to the English Throne.

another view of the back of the Cathedral and it is here you are able to see the peregrine falcons which have nested here since 2005
a closer picture of the falcon on the ledge which was installed in 2006.

Well, what a coincidence Stuart. LOL...My Husband and myself went to Derby Friday morning and stayed two nights returning Sunday afternoon. I bet we passed one another in the street. I did see one or two photographers with their cameras. I was about to do a little photoblog to put a few together I took in Derby with my little Fuji F70EXR pocket camera. I took one of the Cathedral and the street sign Amen Alley and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Can't believe we stood same places at almost same time. Small world. Thanks for sharing. I will favourite this as it brings back memories and shows me what we missed by not going inside the Cathedral. (If I do a blog I will give you the link)

Well what a small world Alison. Hope you enjoyed the city..You missed a treat inside the cathedral..the ceiling is just stunning.
I live about 20 mins outside of the city in a town called Belper...along the Derwent river..
Would love to see your pics in a blog...bet we stood next to each other Lol and did not realise.

Just sorted 20 photos to put into a little photoblog Stuart. Hopefully, will post in next day or so then you can see what we got up to. We live in the Potteries so it's only a 40 minute train ride for us. We will definately be going again to Derby. Loved it.

Great blog. Think the lens makes it more interesting than the normal cathederal shots.

I enjoyed some of the fisheye shots that worked really well. I don't think they all did - just a perrsonal opinion. However, I can see the different interest these shots would add to a blog. I hope you explore it more.

Hi Stuart. I've just posted my 'Alison's Derby Days Photoblog'. http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/blog/77182/450454 Thanks for inspiration to post it as I was in two minds whether to do a photoblog. I have posted a link to this photoblog of yours in my first comment box so members can see the inside of Derby Cathedral through your eyes. Thanks again and we will visit Belper and Derby again soon.

Thanks Stuart for the lovely comment. (Coffee sounds good, next time, hopefully.)

Hi Stuart
An interesting blog but looking through that "fisheye" lens, although a novel idea, I did find it a loss less interesting than "normal" type shots. Not that I would ever discourage experimentation, no way. But you get my drift about the novelty wearing thin after a few shots. No disrespect meant at all, I love to see this type of work but for a blog.....To my mind, not the way to go. Just my humble opinion of course.
Thanks.
Steve

Never keen on fisheye lenses when used for external architecture. Your inside shots work exceptionally well.........except for the one in which you included the entrance. As I commented on your galley picture, I think square framing is a better way to present the shots.....but that's just my thoughts.
For the inside shots I think the lens works very well...........for the outside shots it's a matter of opinion (not to my taste)

Some good interesting shots Stuart, a great way of fitting everything into the frame, like you said.

photography- cheaper than owning a dog and you get just as much exercise!

The fish eye lens certainly creates some interesting shots, some more successfully than others. Its still a great blog .
