Crossing 180

Uploaded: November 20, 2011 05:24:20

Description

A 180-degree panorama from the center of the nave crossing at Washington National Cathedral, stitched from 10 three-exposure HDR's.
It was a wonderful day to finally be back inside giving tours again in the newly-reopened cathedral; abundant strong, clear fall sunlight.
The black netting below the ceiling remains as a precaution should any more bits of mortar (loosened by the quake) fall out of place.

This is a jewel, Chris. I just wish BP allowed larger uploads so I could examine all the rich detail. Well conceived and beautifully done. Welcome home :) #1424489

What a stunning panoramic view of the beautiful Cathedral, Chris! I'm glad it's open again, and that you are back in your familiar role as docent. #9824747

Christopher this is absolutely stunning.
In fact all your photos are out of this world. I justlove going through your gallery and see the beauty of your pictures. I am sorry if I don't stop to write a comment on all of them because it would bore you and take me forever as all of them are amazing.
I wish I coul come on day to see this wonderful cathedral. #9826588

Thank you very much, Fernanda! If you ever get over to this part of the world, let me know! #9826891

WOW!!! I had never imagined the vastness inside this amazing Cathedral!!! You have totally outdone yourself with this one Chris!!! This is pure perfection!! #9838430

Chris Budny level-deluxe November 30, 2011

Thank you very much, Renee! It is an 83,000sf building, 510 feet long from end to end; using the wide-angle lens on this, the nave aisle (right in the center of the pano) looks even longer; it is probably about 300 feet from where I stood, to that distant rose window. #9838660
