Richness Of Glass Colours

It can be a trial to capture stained glass in churches. These windows can be found in Christ Church Cathedral.


The richness of the reds and purples particularly stand out.

    When I can, I try to make myself 'read' the stories in the glass.

    I always photoshop the pics and really up the contrast and drop the highlights.

    I like them. I find I have to underexpose to get all the colors but then the walls look black!

    Usually whenever I have attempted to capture the colors in a stained glass window, they have turned out either overexposed or too dark.

    @Kay: when a photograph of stained glass works out well, it's a good thing.

    @Mari: that they are.

    @Randy: indeed!

    @Jennifer: thanks!

    @Mumbaiiteanu: thank you.

    @Linda: I've had that too.
