Location
Washington National CathedralTime
It was around 9:30 am.Lighting
The sun was low in the sky and it was shining through the stained glass windows. The colors from the windows seemed to dance on the opposite wall.Equipment
Nikon NIKON D750 Lens AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm Focal Length 16.0 mmInspiration
Once a year they clear all the chairs from the Nave and allow photographer to come in and photograph the Cathedral. As soon as I heard about it I sighed-up. Everything about the cathedral is inspiring- the architecture, carvings, colors, and windows.Editing
Yes this was a 3 frame HDR image. I blended the 3 images so I had detail in the shadows, midtones and highlights.In my camera bag

For this shot I laid the camera flat on the floor with the lens facing up and used the timer to fire the shutter
