This 13th C cathedral has seen it's share of fighting, death and destruction, there's a story in the stones which is one of the thing that draws me to sites like this.
I was watching the forecast to find a day with some decent clouds and Thanks to windy.com I managed to time my visit with some lovely, wispy clouds. Of course, there was still strong sunlight and that caused some issues shooting into the sun, but the Olympus 9-18mm is a cheapo marvel, controlling contrast and avoiding hotspots (something that I struggle with on the more expensive 12-40mm when shooting towards the sun).
Technically you could argue that there are blown out highlights on the second image but the histogram shows there is detail there and I quite like the overexposed flare behind a building. It's something Simon Marsden used to great effect.
