Aachen Cathedral Interior Revisited - a photo on Flickriver

             Because weather and other commitments have conspired against me getting aout with my camera recently, I have been continuing to dive through old RAW files and re-process them using my new workflow that is centred around ON1 Photo RAW 2020.

It is a great shame that Aachen Cathedral does not allow the use of tripods. This image is a stitch of four frames, each of which was shot using a Sony A7 and a vintage Vivitar 24mm prime with a Fotodiox Cannon FD to NEX adapter. Because light was low and I did not want to push ISO above 800, the images were taken with an aperture f/2.8 yielding an exposure of 1/125s. In an ideal world, I would have used a much smaller aperture with a longer exposure on a tripod as these images are a little soft. Wit my current full frame camera I would comfortably be able to shoot this hand held thanks to the excellent LUMIX IBIS system. I hope I can do that so that I can get a better capture of this magnificent interior.

For this image, I used DxO PhotoLab 3 just for noise reduction of each frame. I then performed a panoramic merge of the four frames and performed all other processing in ON1 Photo RAW 2020.
