This was taken early last October, it's the last time I had the camera out in anger.
It's actually 15 individual shots stitched in LR because I only had my 56mm with me at the time, I'm heading out in the morning, again just with the 56mm.

Great to see you back after the sabbatical Phil ... You were missed  ...

That looks a fine bit of ecclesiastical architecture and the symmetry works  ...  For what it's worth,  personally   I love the hint of the shaft of light  running from left to right ..a real ethereal feel to the image ..

You have captured a beautiful light there Phil, and you processing is spot on for the subject...

FUJI

Thank you both for the very kind words, it is good to be back.

Dome impressive detail due to stitching multiple images. Well done.

[ChrisD]

Lovely image, but now I'm curious about the floor markings and what's missing from the alcove adjacent to the windows.

Good one Phil.  I always like indoor church images.

56mm ?? 15 shots?? well it was worth it Phil.

At least, I think it was 15, could be more, I deleted the originals after the stichting was done to save space.

Below is the stitched image before processing.

That is a good bot of work stitching the shots together Phil, really nice colours and lighting.

After seeing the originals stitched together before processing I am even  more impressed Phil ... .  It's a candidate  for the before and after   thread  that is !!

Very good result.  I’ve never stitched any shots together before, I may need to look a thing how to do this. 

[kev7d]

It look like the shadows lifted well minimising noise.

Thank you. I'll give the B & A a few of my brain cells and see what I can come up with

Lightroom makes it very easy, although my machine (Dell XPS 9550) did chug a little dealing with so many RAW files, but it got there in the end.

All the shots were hand held, pre focussed midway between myself and the window - 1/125 - f/4 - ISO 400, so the noise was minimal. Below is a 100% crop of the alcove referred to by @ChrisD

Thanks for this detail Phil.   Good to see how you did it.  

[Kobione]

Great result after all that stitching Phil - good to see you back here too!!

Impressive Phil, I think I would have wimped out and used a tripod.

If you do find the time in the next few  few weeks to  do a before and after on our B and A Forum with some advice and guides to how you did it PhiI, I'm sure  it will be of interest to some of the members on here ... It looks  really  good, the final edit .
