St. Peter's  by kwind

St. Peter's

The light inside Rome's St. Peter's Basilica was magical when we were there last month. Like yesterday's shot, this is best on black. Thank you for all your favs and comments on my Aventine Keyhole image. It was pretty surreal to look through such a tiny opening and see such an incredible view.
Beautiful

Wonderful light, pic

Very powerful image! The only thing is - when viewed on black, I would probably cut of just a mm on the bottom - there is a thing white line I wish it wouldn't be there to really draw attention to the three beams of light. Very beautiful image. You should definitely print a book/album for yourself with your Italy photos!

Beautiful shot and great lighting.

Great POV to see the cross against the light and the rays of light coming down through the windows! Now almost a month ago!
June 17th, 2015  
OMG! This is fabulous!
June 17th, 2015  
Really have caught the light.

@vera365 Thanks for the tip. It's the light on the table. My Italy photo book is in the mail as I type. I can't wait for it to arrive. Take a look: https://www.mypublisher.com/?e=OHm3Q8zJl3RmG6lrgY1sVXhyLk7qDHUN&_mp=gmEYBcBz%252BgJ%252BqUTvZo

so beautiful! Looks opulent
June 17th, 2015  
Oh, now I looked at it again, and realized it is actually not at the very bottom (it only seems like it on black, as the table itself is also black). I will definitely look at your book, thank you for the link!
June 17th, 2015  
those rays of light really make the shot - well done!
June 18th, 2015  
Absolutely stunning! Fav
June 18th, 2015  
Love the rays of light, great comp Kim.
June 18th, 2015  
I just check out your Italy photo book, what a great keep sake!
So well organized, have you used this publisher before?
June 18th, 2015  
@radiogirl I've probably made 20 books with them. They are WONDERFUL!!! I highly recommend them.
June 18th, 2015  
this is lovely - that light is splendiferous!
June 18th, 2015  
btw... does that book publishing site let you choose the aspect ratio for your images? I've only ever used shutterfly and i'm quite fed up with the limited ability to choose aspect ratios... i keep meaning to try blurb thru lightroom, but then get caught up in LR challenges, throw in the towel and go back to shutterfly
June 18th, 2015  
A most amazing shot. I would be stunned if I were there.
June 18th, 2015  
Amazing light rays.... especially with the cross in the front and the splendid architectural space all around. So imposing and beautiful... what a gift, to be in that building. :)
June 18th, 2015  
OK... so now I have taken a look at your book. What a great adventure! You did a super job putting this together and it looks like a terrific trip. If you had posted the Vatican Spiral Stairs on 365, I would have faved it 15 times (if I could). It was a wonderful shot.
June 18th, 2015  
Those shafts of light make this special place shine even brighter. Fav
June 18th, 2015  
@northy My publisher has many different layouts you can use anywhere from 1-12 photos per page with and without captions. The great thing is that you can also physically drag the edges to make the photos whatever size you want so it gives you lots of options. I often modify them. The other thing I've done is make collages in PicMonkey, save it as an image and then used it like a photo in my book for a different look.
June 18th, 2015  
Takes my breath away!! Stunning capture and even more so on black!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!! FAV!
June 18th, 2015  
@rosiekerr I was actually considering the stairs for tomorrow's shot. I wasn't super happy with it though because I cut it off a bit. I so wish I had a ladder and a wider lens. The space was amazing but I just couldn't fit it all in the frame.
June 18th, 2015
