This image was part of a series of triple exposures taken inside churches and cathedrals across Britain. I wanted to highlight how beautiful our architecture is regardless of religious belief.

Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in St Mary's Church in Tenby. Pembrokeshire has many unique, sometimes tiny churches which are often open all year round, this one is slightly bigger and very well maintained.Time
This particular image was taken in the early afternoon, there had been a recent wedding so there beautiful floral arrangements everywhere. As it was early spring the sun was low enough to add a little warmth to the lighting which always helps.Lighting
Because it is impossible to safely use a tripod I rely on as much natural light as possible. Most churches also appreciate consideration about the use of flash, so it's all about having a bright day and finding the balance between sunlight and deep shadow.Equipment
I used a Nikon D5300, with a 12- 24mm wide angle lens. No tripod or flash were used.Inspiration
I have been working on a series of images using triple exposure inside many churches and cathedrals all round Britain looking at the beauty of the architecture without allowing religion to be the focus. It's all about the beauty of the building and taking time to appreciate our history no matter what you personally believe.Editing
There is always quite a bit of post processing involved, the images can be quite grainy as I have to use a high iso and the colours can be a little flat, so I use the highlight and shadow slides first then the colour mix to enhance specific colours in this case the greens. Then use the noise reduction just a little to smooth the worst grain.In my camera bag
I normally carry my Nikon D5300 and a wide angle lens and a 50mm prime plus a 105mm macro, all nikon as I love the quality and don't have any problems with fringing in high contrast settings.Feedback
Find some detail, for example a stained glass window or a statue then experiment with as many angles as you can think of. Don't delete anything til you've looked properly at home there is often something unexpected with multiple exposures that you need to see on a big screen to appreciate.
