Altar_St. Louis Cathedral Basilica Bronica ETRS

The altar of the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica. The people in the

front pew are to give you a size reference to the altar. The altar

itself is dwarfed by the dome. What you see is an amazing artwork

of individual mosaic tilework and marble.

It is extremely dark in the cathedral. This is an 8 second exposure at f/11 with available light.

Nice picture but two suggestions: I would straighten the angles with something like panotools (PS perspective correction would also work) and crop the people at the bottom.

I am new to MF with an ETRs, your photos tell me that this is a great camera when put in the right hands. The quality of your finished photo is excellent - you can see the gold and the rich decorations.

Do you scan the negatives or a positive?

Thank you for the kind words, Leo.

 

This was scanned from a negative using a low-cost Epson 3170 flatbed scanner. This image really does not do justice to the actual print- and the print does not do justice to the Cathedral!

 

You will fall in love with your Bronica. This was taken using Kodak 400UC film on a tripod. The lens was 75mm MC.

 

I have looked at your portfolio, Leo. Amazing work! I think you could make fantastic photos with a shoebox.
