Reason
I believe each of the images could be featurable in their own right but work particularly well together to illustrate some of the significant architectural features of the cathedral.

  • I always try to position the camera dead centre, but I find this slight lack of symmetry to be quite common in churches and cathedrals. Sometimes the altar or the middle of the aisle isn't aligned with the ceiling, or the quire is off centre. I'm not entirely sure what the source of the misalignment was in this image but it's probably off by a matter of 1-2cm at most. This is a very wide angle view (115 degrees horizontal field of view, roughly equivalent to a 14mm rectilinear lens), and any misalignment is exaggerated by the perspective in the corners. What I can see is that I am very close to being exactly in the middle of the the ribs on vaulted ceiling (there's no lean of this line which you would expect if I were off-centre relative to it). If the image is indeed centred on the vaulted ceiling, then I would have to assume that the quire and the arches behind it are imperfectly symmetrical and slightly shifted to camera right. Then again it might all be because I was just that 1-2cm off centre. I'm not sure. I don't think it's a huge issue though. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 22:53, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
