Barcelona Cathedral

Apse of the Gothic Barcelona Cathedral - in the crypt beneath the main

altar can be seen the alabaster sarcophagus of St. Eulalia, martyred in

the 4th Century for her Christian beliefs.

Handheld 3 exposure HDR (-3,-1, +1 EV).

Very good !

Hi Rick, I am glad to see your beautiful work again, nice symmetry and contrast, good detail of the stained glasses, congratulations //Salvador

...for dropping by - I've been very impressed with the quality at high ISO on the 5D2, this one at 3200 would have been very poor on my old 20D! Cheers, RickDB

... such a wonderful version. Did you do the HDR by "developing" three versions in Lightroom and then combining them?

 

Well done.

...Handheld at 1/6, 1/25, 1/100s at f/5.6 - ISO 3200. CS4 won't accept altered exposures of the same shot for HDR merge like Photomatix. Amazing image quality for ISO3200! I did have the benefit of an iron railing dividing the chior and apse to lend stability - and I had to clone out only 2 people from the immediate foreground! There is also a tiny Romanesque "Capella de Santa Luchia" accessable from the Cloisters - very plain with a barrel vault ceiling, a place of silence and refuge from the boat loads (literally!) of visitors - to try and photograph it seemed inappropriate. Cheers, RickDB
