Inside King’s Lynn Minster
A quartet of pictures that I took while inside King’ Lyn Minster. While I don’t think the photos themselves are particularly outstanding, I am extremely impressed by the vibration control on the Tamron lens.
It was pretty dim inside the minster, as such places often tend to be, and I was shooting Ilford Delta 100 film, hardly the best choice for handheld photography in such conditions. The available light meant that I was getting shutter speeds of 1/10 sec to 1/20 sec, even with the lens as wide open as I could get it (f/3.5 is the widest it will go, but that drops down if you start to use even a small amount of zoom). I did brace myself against walls and columns where I could but, even so, those are impressively slow shutter speeds for handheld pictures.
The fact that these pictures are sharp (although with a little drop-off in focus because of the aperture) is a big confidence boost for my trust in this lens’s capabilities.

King’s Lynn Minster
A view of King’s Lyn Minster standing above the foreground buildings. It looks oddly shaped due to the two towers being different sizes.

A clue to its location…
You may need to click on the picture to see it larger, but there’s a clue there to let you see exactly where I was standing when I took this photo. 🙂

King’s Lynn streets
When I visited King’s Lynn, although there were plenty of people about, and lots of traffic, the roads close to the quayside were often devoid of pedestrians and traffic. Not completely empty, but quiet enough that it was easy to bide my time and get a photograph of the street scenes without anyone around.

The ghost of an old neighbour
I wonder what used to stand here, beside this (I presume) wharf building? You can see where it once stood, the whitewashed outline of it’s gable tattooed on the structure it shared space with.
I’m sure someone familiar with King’s Lynn would know.

King’s Lynn Custom House
This attractive old building is the Custom House in King’s Lynn, Norfolk. It dates all the way back to 1683 where it was originally a merchant’s exchange. It took on the role of Custom House in the 1700s and continued to do so through to 1989. The bottom of the building used to be an open arcade serving as a meeting place for merchants, the upper part of the building supported by supported by columns, but the arches have since been filled in, and the columns replaced by masonry.
