So last weekend Katie and I went into DC to see the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. An absolutely beautiful church. I've been there 3 times before, but it was during the graduation of my 3 cousins, so I didn't get to wonder and take a bunch of pictures of the building, I was focused on the graduation.

But this time, I had all day to just enjoy it. And I did, and I took plenty of pictures. 1079 pictures to be exact, in the span of 4 hours. :what?:

I am very glad i remembered my tri-pod, the place was very low light (to a camera) and everything had a reddish glow to it due to the lamps. :dontknow2: but needless, I managed to take some awesome pictures if i do say so myself, and here they are... now the first batch are all HDR images, took me a while to do all these...

that's all the HDR's I did. I need to go back again because some didn't turn out at all and i want to re-do a few of these. Plus I did a number of panoramic shots that didn't work out and I need to re-do them as well.

But a few normal pictures turned out...

But it was a beautiful place to see and the weather that day was amazing. I do want to go back again soon. If you are ever in DC and have the chance, go see this place, you'll love it. :yup:

Hard to take pictures of churches like that. It looks like it took a lot of ideas from chuches in europe. Nice shots.
