aah, South Australia… heh I was gonna say, “Waitasecond… I’m sure the Vatican looked a bit more ornamental than that…”
All the same though, Shane, this is absolutely majestic (as is most of your portfolio, actually)!! the composition just makes the church seem so grandiose… and the lighting… wow…. so warm and heavenly
beautiful image!
Kathryn Potempski
what a great photo,all the technical stuff ticked off ,fantastic composition congrats Shane could you please tell me what lens you used?
Shane Smart replied
Kathryn – I used a Sigma 18-50 (at 18mm) and it reminded me how much I want a wider lens…
Stephen Mitchell
Un_!believable, this is a fantastic photograph of StPeters!
I’ve tried to shoot in this church before (_they don’t mind just as long as you don’t disturb parishioners) yet have not had such good fortune. Commendable work.
