Late Sun Through Stained Glass
It was all I could do to cross the street in the cold & wind to bring you this image from the National Cathedral. You're welcome.
[UPDATE]
I purchased Photomatix Pro and have started fooling around with using HDR processing for exposure-bracketed shots. All these images were foolhardily hand-held (no tripod for me, I'm a rebel,man!).
For comparison purposes, here's an "exposure fusion" version of the Stained Glass image.
And now here's a "tone-mapped" version.
And a special bonus for you lovely people: a tone-mapped version of the National Cathedral nave, given a rather more "painterly" treatment.
I'd be interested in your thoughts… any preferences among these images? Please comment!

Gorgeous. Love the nave photo, especially. My brother shot a gorgeous wedding there if you're interested: http://mmpextras.squarespace.com/photo-galleries/denyce-robert/
I like the third shot especially - the contrast isn't so dramatic between the stone and the glass, and you can appreciate the golden tones of the stone as well as the jewel toned glow of the stained glass. Lovely.
I'm guessing somewhere between the exposure fusion and the tone mapped lies the perfect image. I like the contrast of the dark and light in the former, yet the purplish stone color throws me. Suzy has a point about the stone's tone in the latter.
