This is the final picture in this series of internal views of Durham cathedral. In this HDR I did tweak the colour temperature and tint in the Camera Raw filter to produce a slightly different look and feel to the masonry.
I have a HUGE confession to make here - photography, videography, and the use of mobile smartphones is not normally permitted in Durham Cathedral, and certainly NOT for commercial gain. Those who transgress this rule are usually quickly prevented from carrying on by the approaching robed ushers, so when I entered I had not expected to come away with these shots, and did not intend to plan or shoot them! However I saw so many tourists taking pictures with cameras and phones , and it appeared, on this particular Sunday, that nobody was willing to prevent them continuing that I naturally just joined in (on the spur of the moment). I was ever so grateful, and these are probably going to be the only ones that I take in my lifetime, so I left a generous donation on the way out. I apologise profusely for breaking the rules, and look for your forgiveness.
