[QUOTE="hark, post: 339224, member: 13196"] After seeing some photos of [URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/12/church-ceilings_n_5568080.html?1405181610&ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063"]breathtaking church ceilings[/URL], I decided to try out my 14mm ultra wide at church. There are long felt banners hanging on the Sanctuary walls so I hoped to capture the banners on the walls as well as the ceiling. Unfortunately the ceiling isn't high enough to shoot straight up and get the walls, too, so it wouldn't work. :( Since I was there, I decided to experiment with the lens to see what it could do. I've never had anything this wide before so it was uncharted territory for me. ;) These were simply test shots. Normally when I take photos inside the Sanctuary, I mount my camera on a tripod; however, since I was just playing around to see what type of perspective I could achieve, I didn't bother to remove distracting items before shooting and shot handheld. After seeing [USER=9240]@BackdoorHippie[/USER]'s Chapel photo from Princeton University, I wanted to try out a shot from a similar perspective. Wow!
