Shot this in one of the many churches I saw in France. This was a chapel that was off to the side of the main room. I shot this from a slight elevation. The image is a 5 exposure HDR shot at F22,D300,ISO 800 17-85mm,tripod mtd. Photomatix was used to combine the images.
Hey Dave,
Supe light depth and I actually feel the symmetry really works well here! Would be really tempted to lighten the alter area a few points......so it becomes an even stronger focal point.....but not so much as to competer with the stained glass on the rh side. I love the angle of view too! Very nicely composed and great use of the HDR.
Nice one Dave. I like the arches which really help the perspective. Nice HDR work. I think if you play a little bit with the white and black points in the HDR software, the alter will lighten up, and the right areas in the ceiling will disappear. Minor tweaks for a nice image.
