TAKE A PHOTO THROUGH A GLASS PANE

This was taken from within the University Church in Oxford looking out at the Radcliffe Camera.

This is a very large window divided into many panes and I guess each pane is surrounded by lead. I was going to use one pane of glass plus the lead surround but it actually looked like there wasn't a pane of glass at all and that I had put a border around the shot :-) I, therefore, decided to include bits of the surrounding panes and I did then add my own border :-) On closer inspection I can now see the middle pane of glass has distorted little bits of the building :-)

I am, however, very puzzled by the surrounding panes where in places there is a lot of distortion. I can't imagine that the middle pane I chose is an almost optically perfect bit of glass :-)))

And, for 'Sight and Sound' I have decided upon a 'book' link :-) The Radcliffe Camera is used as a Reading Room by the Bodleian Library. In 1962 Bo Diddley recorded "You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover" :-)

Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music
