Great work. I get the feeling "work" is the operative word. I almost didn't look because the title made me think of other cathedral shots that were pretty boring. Sure am glad I looked.
Very well done, beautiful images and composition..I shoot small, country style churches that may lack this grandeur but have their own personalities. You have captured the personality here of a grand scale.
Wow. Thanks for the graphic reminder of what can be achieved with a wide-angle lens and a lot of creativity.
I'm incapable of choosing a favorite. Your demonstration of the class elements of composition while pushing the enevelop technically is really inspiring.
And, uh, not for nothing, the friendly folks who make Photomatix may want to send you a little thank you. Based on your photographs, I'm definitely going to check out their product. There are limits to the dynamic expansion one can obtain when shooting in RAW and screwing around in Lightroom/CS3 (although, to be honest, I've become a BIG fan of the "Fill Light" slider in Lightroom . . . what a workflow time saver!). Obviously, you're a great chef, so it doesn't matter all that much what kind of skillet you use in the kitchen . . . but this "Photomatix" thing certainly seems worthwhile to check out.
