England - Thirsk, Closer-In Shot of Side Sactuary #1

This is an example - as well as what will be in tomorrow's post - of using light play to enhance an interior church shot.  The conditions here at St Mary's that day were great because there was nothing artificial light-wise; only natural sunlight provided illumination from the windows so no post-capture color adjustment was needed later.  Given another opportunity with this one, however, I would have stepped a few inches to the right to better position the candle holder.

And speaking of the candle holder, observe that there is a mouse carved in its base.  In North Yorkshire there is a master woodworker that is known for creating beautiful pieces with this signature emblem.  Andrew wanted to stop by his place to perhaps buy a gift for someone but the timing didn't work out for us.
