HDR image taken inside St David's cathedral, by tone-mapping 3 exposures taken at +2EV, 0EV and -2EV.

St David's Cathedral is situated in St Davids in the county of Pembrokeshire, on the most westerly point of Wales. Built upon the site of St David's 6th century monastery, St David’s Cathedral has been a site of pilgrimage and worship for many hundreds of years and remains a church serving a living community. During the 10th and 11th centuries the cathedral was regularly raided by Vikings arriving from the western seaways. A visitor in the 11th century found only an abandoned site with St David's shrine lost amongst the undergrowth. It is known that in 1089 the shrine had been removed from the church and stripped of the precious metals which had adorned it. In 1115 Bishop Bernard was appointed bishop of St Davids by King Henry I, and in 1123 Bishop Bernard secured a "privilege" from Pope Calixtus II. In 1131 he dedicated a new cathedral and in 1181 work on the present Cathedral was begun.
