One of the venues we visited on Sunday which was entirely photographer friendly was Trinity Church on Copley Square. Both Bob and Brian spent a great deal of time shooting with their fisheye lenses and the results are spectacular. You can find their ceiling images here and here. I don’t have a fisheye but the 14mm did a pretty good job of capturing the grandeur of the architecture. I did shoot a few images pointing the camera directly upwards from the centre of the aisle but, just to be different, here’s a shot taken from a corner of the sanctuary creating a diagonal composition.
For those interested in technical details, I’m pretty sure this is the widest bracket I’ve ever used to produce a single image. It comprises 12 separate exposures, each 1 stop apart.
You can find the high resolution version of this image over on Flickr.
Stunning image, Dave. I really enjoy your choice of angle here, giving the ceiling a triangular, arrow-head effect. The processing is also very complementary to the scene itself.
I had such a great time shooting around with you and Bob. We have to do it again sooner rather than later.
Thanks, guys. I’m glad you like this version but I’m suffering serious fisheye envy after seeing Bob and Brian’s versions.
Make sure you look at the version on Flickr since, for some reason I can’t fathom, the colours on that version are far better. The images came from exactly the same source and all I did was downscale for the blog so I’ve no idea why this one should be so much more muted.
