A visit to England warning, many photos

Hello all
Just spent a wonderful 12 days in southern England .
Loved every moment ! [ except one ] . My EM-1 enjoyed
the weather as there are no blown highlights to deal with …..
So much different than Italy and here in Calif.
The 40-150 F2.8 is a wonder, even handheld in the dim light
of a church .
These are shots of London, Bath, Bristol, Salisbury and Wells .
If you like please re process and see if they can be improved [ the can ] .

... and the "warning" is ?????

Glad you enjoyed it. Have you read The Art of Photography? It features a good deal of Wells Cathedral, with a big piece on the Chapterhouse stairs and the author's experience shooting other English Cathedrals.

Good set Ken. You got around and visited some great locations. The London Eye image is my favourite. Over recent years I've visited all but Bristol in your list - see my Flickr Albums for a closer look.

…the best I have ever seen of this thing. Wonderful. Beautifully seen and beautifully captured.

Bath -- been there, done that, but clearly I don't get the t-shirt -- you do! I photographed that wonderful weir (with my Rollei and Agfachrome 120 roll film) in 1974 (r was it '75?) but I didn't get out at night to see it, did I? (Or maybe they hadn't invented electric light back then :)).

Salisbury -- yep, saw that too and photographed it, but not as well as you did. Great work.

Wonderfull, thank you for posting.
I always get "wanderlust" from watching this kind of posts.

The warning should be you can starve to death with the food over there. I was there in 93 and thank God they had a McDonald's in London. 

Thanks Ken.

i understand that photography is now allowed in most Italian tourist places now. So, no problem, except for those darned tourists in the way

Plenty of Wells Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace here https://www.flickr.com/photos/dieselgolfer/albums/72157649235862988

Ha! you must be teetotal ?? otherwise you would have discovered the great pile of GOOD food in Pubs .. Better return quick and get your fill

Thank you so much for that .

The Albert Memorial is a gigantic jewel of a monument, I have photos of the detail

taken at sunset, a magical place !

Are you going to show us a few of those too? Please?

An excellent set. Thanks for posting.

Great shots! Some of my favorite places! Glad you had a good time.

You'll be interested to know that a photo like this one sold for $233,000 recently! (But it was taken 122 years ago!)
