Viking Grand European Cruise 2019 - Cathedrals, Churches & Synagogues

We visited several prominent houses of worship, and my photographs are of exteriors and interiors both. As to the latter, most of the photos were taken using High Dynamic Range technology. Those who have tried photographing stained glass windows will know that if you achieve proper exposure for the windows, you'll often lose most if not all details of the surrounding church structure. By extending the range of light captured by four stops, HDR permits retaining detail of the windows but also showing interior detail (although the photos will often contain color noise due to the high ISO required for natural light photographs). I will note, incidentally, that all these HDR photos were taken hand-held, a feature enabled by my Canon 5D Mark III camera.
