more church

these were taken in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. this is just one of many worship halls in this structure; i especially liked the ceiling design:

these walls contain over 50,000 names of priests and nuns who have since passed:

i liked the crosses:

Wow...that's some awesome stuff. I'd love to see more of this type of thing if you have it.

When I look at these pictures, I actually feel like I'm standing right there!!

WOW AGAIN and AGAIN!!! You never cease to amaze me JonMikal!!! The lighting in your pics is always spot on, it definitely sets the mood in these especially!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: Two thumbs up

I really need to find a place like that here in San Antonio! Awesome pics as always!

Second and final shot are pretty strong - nice work.

First shot leaves me thinking I've missed something - maybe I have!

Good work though - third shot should be a gallery shot - seen it done hundreds of times before but works well here.

Great work! Can you tell us the setting. I figure 1600iso hand held or 200iso with a tripod. Very hard conditions to shoot in. I like all three for different reasons.

that's what I was going to ask.... not sure how people would feel about a guy standing there with a tripod in church

I love the lighting on the 2nd shot there

great shots... again!!!!!!!

i went to the Basilica for a class trip earlier in october i think, and i took pics similar to the last two but they don't even compare :hail:

JonMikal · Feb 15, 2005

thanks guys!

no tripod - 200iso. i rig ways to brace and use the self timer; allows me to concentrate on being steady.

AIRIC · Feb 15, 2005

Dude! :hail: That is pretty steady. The exposure had to be a least a second or two.

don't get me wrong...i use props i.e. camera bags etc to help out occasionally and will luck out handholding once in a blue moon. what helps me is shutter priority coupled with raw settings...sometimes i up the iso but not for these.
