St Pauls Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

St. Pauls Cathedral is the fourth to occupy this site (one is siad to have existed from 604AD). It was designed by the court architect Sir Christopher Wren and built between 1675 and 1710 after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. It has played host to the funerals of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill; Jubilee celebrations for Queen Victoria, King George V and the wedding of Diana and Charles.

At the time of photographing this there was a lot of renovation work being undertaken. I tried to capture the Cathedral without any of the eyesores. Hope this works.

A different view to most, but i feel this one works very well, i like the details in the cathedral but also i like the fact that the sky has alot of detail as well, good use of the panoramic format, great shot!

Good angle, nice detail and brilliant blue sky.

I hate it when you go to see a landmark and there is scaffolding al lover the place, When I wen tto paris the Arc de Triumph, Notre Dame and La Defence all had scaffolding all over the place, does not make for good photos!

I think your photo works very well although you have used only 40kb for it, you know you can use up to 200kb and 800 pixels, this would make the photo so muc hmore detailed, and woudl improve it no end!

If you need any help give me a shout and I will do what I can to let you know how to improve the image quality.

Well done : )
