St. Patrick's Cathedral - NYC by michaelelliott

St. Patrick's Cathedral - NYC

276 / 365
Located on Fifth Avenue across the street from Rockefeller Center in Manhattan is St. Pats. The 135 year old cathedral is one of the most famous in the world. This is just a small view of the enormous and beautiful interior.

Also thank you very much for all the great comments and many favs on yesterday's city reflection in a puddle shot. It was a lot of fun to do.

The interior is wonderful, I've only ever seen the outside before - dwarfed by the buildings around it, this gives a much better idea of the sheer scale of the cathedral!

The pillars and arches are so intricate which is a reflection on your capture
posted May 3rd, 2012  
@peterdegraaff - thx Peter I've taken many pics here before (typically down the center aisle) to try to capture those features but finally found this angle to show them off better. I appreciate you noticing.
posted May 3rd, 2012  
@melissapike - Melissa how can you not have gone inside? You've been looking for new things to shoot. Try to go at lunch.
posted May 3rd, 2012  
@aspada - thx Amy I know you know NYC very well, but I forget, did you once live here?
posted May 3rd, 2012  
@sheilacoates - its unbelievably huge inside shaped like a cross with amazing height.
posted May 3rd, 2012  
@ellimae - thx so much Ellen. Like I mentioned to Peter I always taken shots down the aisle but this angular view across the pews offered something new for me and got in the pillars arches stained glass and other features. Took me long enough haha. Thx again!

@michaelelliott I did live there when I was younger but only for a short while. Then we moved to CT. There's no place like NYC... love it!

Awesome, I've never gone inside!

Wow, what a beautiful photo of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Love the detail, stained glass, arches, etc. It is so huge as I look at the people down below that look like ants. I sure hope you get to take more photos of the interior and even one or two of the exterior. One thing on my list of photos to take some day, the interiors of a few churches in our area, but nothing can beat one like this. Thank you for sharing, Michael. Enjoying seeing NYC through your eyes/photos. FAV

posted May 4th, 2012  
Question Michael: is this HDR or did you capture the detail in some other magical way ?
posted May 4th, 2012  
Heavenly shot, Michael. I have always been awed with St. Patrick's beauty.
posted May 4th, 2012  
@wardie - Thx Paul very much. When I edited this in picmonkey I used a touch of the HDR feature which helped to bring out a bit of a 3-D look for better definition and depth.
posted May 4th, 2012
