Inside Worcester Cathedral

After lunch I went inside Worcester Cathedral to try my hand at some more HDR interiors.  Although they're getting better, it's still a challenge to preserve highlight and shadow detail while also keeping the shots looking natural.  The proof of the pudding, they say...

Unfortunately (for the interior photography) it was a sunny day.  This, combined with dozens of tourists walking in and out of the frame, made for an interesting couple of hours.

Worcester

It was such a lovely Spring day on Saturday that I decided to stop off for a few hours in Worcester on my way to Bristol.  My main interest was the cathedral, but here are a few shots from the around the town. 

The statue is, of course, Edward Elgar, who is inextricably linked with Worcester.

It seemed slightly incongruous that a beautiful mediaeval building had been turned into a mobile phone shop.

Speaking personally, I love to have my hops individually tailored...

There's something about the eternal and unquenchable optimism of a Labrador when it comes to food!

Just one of the many discount and money-lending stores in the city centre, although the top prize must go to the very large number of empty and boarded-up shop premises.

The local intelligentsia...

Stopping for a quick smoke.

Some more general views of the city.

Anyone for a spot of good old-fashioned rectification?
