This is the same church as the one posted about 10 days ago with the snowdrops outside. |

Thank you, Sergio - it dates back a long way - 12th century! A pretty much deserted place but I find it fascinating! Ann :)) |

Did you get permission to use a tripod inside? They usually don't allow such as they can cause damage and cause obstructions for others. A reasonable result balancing out the deep shadows with the highlights, some highlights have burned out but that is almost inevitable with the way you have shot this. |

No - I wasn't aware of a need to obtain permission - there were no notices. It is in the hands of the Churches Conservation Trust, so no one there manning it and no one else there at all for most of the time that we were there. This church is really tucked away and it would seem few people know of it - I have never seen more than two other people visiting it when I've been there! Thanks, Tim - not an easy place to photograph, other than straight up the aisle, as it is quite small. I liked this angle, as something a bit different but the light was difficult to manage. There are the remains of medieval wall paintings all along the walls from the 13th and 14th centuries - I may post one of these at a later date. |

I'd guess that you'd email in advance to the relevant person. The vast majority of churches have a website or are affiliated to a parish who have a site. As for notices, even in a church conservation Trust one, they probably do expect a few people to take photos in the normal manner but not to use tripods, where legs can knock delicate artifacts, fall over even or legs damaging floors. To most people, the difference between taking a few personal snaps to using it as a photographic location (possibly commercial) is the use of a tripod. I've never used a tripod in a church - it would break the sanctity for me, for a start. I could be entirely wrong of course, in which case official clarification would settle the matter! |

All valid points and I respect your opinion - it's certainly given me food for thought! |
