Another view of Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, this time taken by me. The main difficulty is trying to show the sheer size of this building in a single photograph. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy to read them.

the only effective way to do that is to incorporate something into your composition that demonstrates that. the street light and trees in this shot goes part ways toward doing that but for maximum effect you would have to compose it so they were more visible as a frame of reference.

as for the shot itself - it definitely would have benefited from averaged out metering to eliminate the scorched sky and some perspective distortion correction from a purely aesthetic pov.

Yep, I can relate Steve. It's SOOOOOO frustrating not being able to get the whole thing in - or the bits that you want. What I'm struck by though is that you don't seem to get the same problems with the verticals that I do. What lens are you using - I'm guessing not a very wide angle? In terms of how you can fit more in, well I discovered the 'photomerge' feature in Photoshop and used it on a few images, probably most successfully on 'Leadenhall Market'. It's very easy! I think you have a natural affinity with this building anyway because I like the way you've photographed it. Ok it would have been good to have the nearest tower in the frame, and the sky is blown out....but the red sandstone looks great again and I think you succeeded in getting over the size.

Good angle, & clarity I wouldn't describe the sky as scorched. If you really want more in the pic can you afford a wide angle lens ?
Well done Steve

Do like they do in CSI. Lay a quarter down beside it for scale. Of course you might not be able to see the quarter. Never mind. I think you are doing fine and maybe what you want is an aerial shot. I guess you could use Phlossie and the Duke of Earl as perspective points. I better quit, I am absolutely no help. Good post Steve.

Another very nic shot Steve. I like the fact that you did not include the whole thing - this adds emphasis to the size.

Very beautiful shot with great angle! The lamppost are a good start to get the idea.
