My house has a big central skylight with a beveled glass lighting fixture nearby that acts as a prism.
This rainbow falls on a light gray carpet this time of year. So I put my clean coffee mug under the rainbow, atop a sheet of paper, all on the carpet. Among the many mis-"takes", the writing has come through from the opposite side of the paper.
But the reason I posted it, was my sense that something interesting was possible, but I didn't have the knowledge or skill to take advantage.
Quick bit or research, from local history book. Ed.
Previous to this time James Robert Hope, a barrister, had married a grand-daughter of Sir Walter Scott, came to reside at Abbotsford, where, having assumed the name of Scott, he became known as Mr Hope-Scott. After he and his wife left the Church of England and joined the Catholic Church, when he commenced to take a deep in both in the temporal and spiritual welfare of Catholics who resided in Galashiels. Being desirous that the services should be conducted in a fitting manner, he purchased property at the foot of Stirling Street, upon the site of which he erected a chapel and school,
Thank you, Ed. I found it on the Web, and I posted that view because the windows seemed to match those in your stained glass shot (Post: #12). From your photos, both inside and outside, it looks a magnificent building.

Hello Phil
The exposure, colours and details in the second one are great. I just think it's a shame that the sides are cropped off - I would love to see the stained glass framed by the window frame.

Stained glass window in a very northern First Nations church in Canada.
Hello WD
This really is in contrast to the other stained glass posted here, as is the building itself!
The photo appears to show some barrel distortion, and it is over-exposed which makes it look a bit flat - lacking contrast and detail. So, if it were mine, I would do some processing on the image in an attempt to pep it up a bit. The perspective could also be corrected but, in this case, I like the angles of the lines.
Using this as a test as its the first link I've done! Thought it may display the actual pic??? Would be grateful for any hep on doing this - thank you.
Taken at Waterford Crystal Factory in the Republic of Ireland.
