Originally posted by RICHARD L. I had to watch for people circulating around and possibly destroying the image I was after. Tripod-mounted Pentax K1 + FA 20 mm f/2.8 @ f/11, using the "Pixel-shift" function. I'm not certain this kind if image benefits much from pixel-shifting as long exposures leaves the photogram exposed to all sorts of possible garbage. This horizontal version seems much sharper than the vertical one seen above.
I like both shots they are very well done and a fine example of the religious architecture in Quebec
I think both images are very sharp. I think the sense of sharpness between the 2 photos is more due to the curves in the roof line and arches, the perspective. towards the altar.and being off line to the center of the church
In the setup of the shot I believe you were using the candles as your subject and the rest of the sanctuary along with the line perspective of the pews as background. If you were able to do the same shot down the middle isle with the altar as the focal point some of the distortion may be less noticeable
