I had a chance last weekend to photograph one of the largest Catholic Churches in the US. To say this place was impressive is an understatement. The following is from Wiki
"The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is a prominent Latin Rite Catholic basilica located in Washington, D.C., United States of America, honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, the principal Patroness of the USA.
The shrine is the largest Catholic church in the United States, the largest church of any kind in the western hemisphere, the eighth largest church building in the world, and the tallest habitable building in Washington, D.C.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] An estimated one million pilgrims from around the country and the world visit the basilica each year. The basilica is on Michigan Avenue in the northeast quadrant of Washington, on land donated by The Catholic University of America. As of 2013 the rector of the shrine was Monsignor Walter R. Rossi, who possesses a Licentiate of Canon Law."
3 exposure HDR (-2,0,+2) shot with a tripod, combined in Photomatix, and then imported into lightroom for further adjustments (same for the rest of the pictures.)
All were shot in AP mode using my Sigma 17-50mm lens
1. This is on the lower level of the church, and is called the The Crypt Church.

I have enough for a second set if there is any interest in me posting those.
