Nave, looking west
Nave, looking east

Category: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Interiors/Religious buildings#United Kingdom‎
Info Here are the two important views of the nave, church of St Peter and St Paul, East Harling. The view looking west is taken from the altar, with the mediaeval font in the distance. Nearby are some misericord stalls. The hammerbeam ceiling dates from c.1450 and rises to 45' (13.7m). The spandrels are filled with ornate carvings. The view looking east is taken from in front of the mediaeval font and shows off all the significant features of the church. The two aisles are not symmetrical: the south is 20' (6m) wide and the north 12' (3.6m) wide. I like how there is a contrast between the mediaeval woodwork and the modern active noticeboards. The little red creature in the top left of the east window is not the devil, but a red squirrel (see this photo for more detail of that window). At 103 and 169MP, each are about 2x the resolution of most Diliff cathedral interiors. As with any wide-angle rectilinear projection, the resolution is better in the centre than the edges, and please note if printed at fine-art 300dpi both would be 1m tall. All by me. -- Colin (talk) 18:54, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Photos like these inspire me not to even try to capture church interiors :) --Podzemnik (talk) 02:22, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To me, the first image is very good, but the second image is simply too wide by a couple of mm. Compositionally, I understand why you would choose this crop, but the undistorted area in the centre is rather small. To me a crop for the left window (so cutting the right window) and just below the heaters (?) at the top would work better (I made a note) - might still be worth uploading this crop just as a second option for wiki projects. --DXR (talk) 06:30, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per DXR the first image is the stronger, but I wouldn't crop the second. I like when a small church with an obviously active local community and kiddie art gets the "Diliff-esque" treatment. --Cart (talk) 09:18, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support But I'm per DXR. At least maybe you should have move ahead or back to have a better side arches positioning. And I'd have framed more of the bottom as well. - Benh (talk) 15:41, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Benh, it is always difficult to decide where or whether to crop. I can't go any further back as I'm right in front of a stone font. I would have shot another row along the bottom, but someone came in to close up the church and so I finished up. -- Colin (talk) 20:03, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
