FRANK KING PHOTOS

ST. COLMAN’S CATHEDRAL, COBH, IRISH REPUBLIC

Bad weather changed our cruise ship route and that turned out to be a great thing because it gave me another day on Irish soil.
I was up and off the ship at dawn with the goal of photographing this cathedral, which I had seen in so many Irish photos. To be able to get inside and have the place mostly to myself with an added bonus.
I needed a 13-second exposure to properly record this scene. The original picture is in colour, but I often appreciate a monotone treatment for classical architecture. Do you agree?
The cathedral is relatively new, completed in 1919. The 300-foot steeple is the tallest in Ireland. Here’s a view in colour: https://wp.me/p2ccTX-2Zd
