Iconic

Another photo taken from one of my Church photos.  I found a tiny little chapel, set off to the right, inside of the church.  I was the only person there.  Being respectful to the religion, I gently and as quietly as possible rested my Canon 5D and 200mm 2.8L lens onto the back of the pew in front of me.  I held the camera as tightly as possible and took my shot.

As I took this photograph, I paid very close attention to the light.  I knew I could bracket this shot; effectively turning it into a great HDR image.  However I wanted to bring out the darkness of the chapel; and the silhouette of the Crucifix.  In the end I took this photo at 1/80 of a second at F2.8, ISO 1600 with my 200mm lens.
