The Corridor of Cathedral Basillica

I am almost 6 months into photography! I got my Rebel 2000 not too

long ago. I haven't had a chance to really play with the camera and

my new 50mm 1.8 EF II, until recently. This picture is taken under

very low yellow light. I didn't correct the color level because I

prefer the majestic yellowish look. I did auto-level the contrast

with photoshop. Is there a problem with the scanning because the

original has better detail in the dark center and lower right

corner? Does anyone know how to fix this? I know ISO 200 films are

not recommended but I just realized recently from the many messages

in the forums. A few pictures were also taken using the 28-80mm EF

II, but the quality was really bad. There were all blurred and less

contrasty. It is because of the zoom? I did use a tripod though.

Lovely ceiling. Those highlights on the rhs are annoying, as are the deep shadows.

Again I personally prefer this to the earlier shot:

But that's taste I suppose.

 

QV - I agree the lack of a horizontal floor indicates that I may have inbibed too much communion wine, hic!

Nice photo, but it really bothers me that the picture seems tilted to the right. I have seen these type of shots done with the camera sitting on the floor.

Somptuous colors and light !
