I called the church before the Walk to ask if I could come in and take images. They said Mass was at 7:30 and if came when that was over, there maybe time. When I arrived, they gave me 10 minutes to take images with the lights on, and this is one of them. But when they turned the lights off, the light came streaming through the stained glass windows and it was wonderful. I stayed for another 10 minutes until the sun moved and the light changed again.

When I first entered the church, the lights were all on. After Mass, they left them on for me, but for just a short time. When they turned off the lights, the sun came through all the stained glass windows and created this wonderful warm light.Equipment

Depends on the subject.Feedback
Call ahead to make sure you know when the services are. Ask if you can stay and take images and even offer to send some to them.
