Description
Mission - San Xavier Del Bac
Mission Altar
Obviously, this is the mission's altar - a tad ornate for my personal taste - almost everything up there has been gilded in either gold or silver. This was a particularly onerous shot as I felt that bringing a tripod into a church while people were praying would be a bit gauche so I sat in the first pew, rested the camera on the railing in front of me and squeezed off the shot - 1.5 seconds at f3.1 - one could spend weeks just photographing the detail up here.

WOW I've never seen a church like this one before! So much work has gone into it. Hmmm a tad too ornate for my taste too. Wonderful capture especially with no tripod.
What amount of work is necessary to sculpt this! Though I prefer gothic stily, I am still amazed on such imagination. Good capture wihout a tripod!
Beatiful capture! A bit ornate, I agree, but so many interesting details to look at. Well done! :)
