It’s a Minster. York Minster. I did read something there about what a minster is. Iif I remember correctly it has something to do with having being a place of worship since medieval times. Or maybe not. You can alway google it if you’re that curious.
We came to the conclusion that my local Cathedral would fit into York Minster three of four times, quite easily. It really is huge.
And I don’t have a super-wide angle lens to capture it properly. (Another bit of kit to add the the wish list.)
Another shot from my day trip. Any ideas yet? Or did you all guess from yesterday’s shot?
My sister was visiting (from New Zealand) and to make up for the fact that we spent most of her trip here in my house we shuffled the kids off to nursery and went for a day trip. Can you guess where?
Always check your ISO settings before shooting…
LittleMoo ran in to me today to tell me she could see colours out of the window, and that I should come and see. So we went into the lounge to see a glorious rainbow stretching right across the sky. I grabbed my camera and took off upstairs, then outside in the drizzle to take some shots.
You can see where this is going, right?
So, downloaded pictures to Lightroom, went to process them to boost the colours etc. And they were shot at ISO1600! Which on my Canon 350D is VERY NOISY. I’m so disappointed with myself. What a dork!
I might try running the best image through some noise reduction, but don’t have the heart at the moment.
So I’m off to change the ISO on my camera back to 100, and watch TV while dreaming about buying a shiny new camera which displays ISO setting in the viewfinder (ie the 5DmkII).
Here is another possibility for my wall art:
It’s going to be a busy day today. Had a quick photoshop tutorial from Mrs Crayons and am now itching to get playing with storyboard templates. I also need to process the pictures from the Halloween party and get those uploaded (probably in my new storyboards!). But first I have to go and visit my daughters prospective primary school before we send in the application form. Oh, and Squishy will be home at 11, while LittleMoo will be home at 1. Lots to do, not a lot of time!
I’ve done it. I’m twittering away. Probably about nothing much of any interest, but you’re welcome to pop over and say hi. It’s over there –> in my sidebar, and you can find me here: www.twitter.com/pinkmilkisyummy.
And your photo for the day today is another possibility for my wall art:
Had a lovely day at the Made by Artisans press preview yesterday, and was snap happy. Have a look for pictures at www.pinkmilkphotography.co.uk.
I’ll be at the actual fair too, so why not come on down and say hi in person. It’s Saturday 21 November from 10-4 in Becket Chapel, Peterborough Cathedral. That’s England, btw (just in case you’re not actually that local!) 
Here’s your pic:
I had loads of fun doing the images for this, creating the storyboard format thing (or whatever it’s supposed to be called). But it took me AGES! But I’ve decided it’s the look I want to use, so I’m going to have to get working on some templates to speed things up. My kids were going bonkers waiting for me to finish!
Hmmm. If I had a good excuse for not posting for a long time, I’d put it right here:
But I don’t. I’m just a slacker. But don’t take it personally. Basically the only communication I’ve done lately is of the face-to-face variety.
However I shall endeavour to try harder.
And because this is supposed to be a photography blog, here is your photo for today:
I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but I saw it and loved it so had to take it home to photograph. I’m trying to come up with an image to mount onto canvas for my living room. This one is a contender.
While out with my daughters and the camera (am trying to make it second nature to take it with me), we found this little patch of daisies. Boy, those chubby little fingers can move faster than the eye! Fast enough that I was burst shooting and hoping for one in focus.
I like the way the blues of the river and the sky came out in this shot, taken in Lincolnshire.
