Location : The font in Wells Cathedral is the oldest thing in the Cathedral - it is over 1,000 years old. It came from the first Cathedral at Wells, which was founded by St. Aldhelm in 705 CE.
This image was captured early in the morning before the tourists arrive using a tripod-mounted Canon 5DmkIII camera and a Canon TS-E 17mm f/4 L lens. I used Live View focusing at 10x to focus on the font. The camera was set to manual exposure mode, f/11, ISO 320 and daylight white balance. I captured a sequence of images but only used one shot of 2 seconds for this image. The processing was somewhat involved in that the image was duplicated in layers, converted to monochrome, sepia toned and then screened with the original colour image, giving this warm yet desaturated look! The image was flipped left to right to improve the composition. The RAW processing and the final adjustments were all done in Photoshop CS/6.
