The Vaulting of the Nave
The vaulted Nave of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
This image was far more difficult to achieve than I originally planned. I brought my tripod but was told I could not use it. It was exceptionally dark inside and I had to go to plan "B". Luckily there was a pew in the back of the Nave and I was able to brace the camera and hold on for the long exposure. I used my wide ange at 10mm and set the ISO at 3200 and had to deal with an exceptional amount of noise. I cleaned most of it up with Topaz DeNoise. I would have preferred to center the shot but I'm still somewhat pleased with it. A magnificent architectural structure that would look more at home somewhere in Europe than the heart of New York City.
