Default St. Peters

I took this picture this summer during my trip to italy. It was my first trip with my DSLR. Hope you enjoy.

This is inside St. Peter's basilica in The Vatican.

Robert, this is a great capture in my opinion! I am rather suprised this picture has not generated more comments for you. Your exposure had to be right on to capture the light ray like you did. Excellent shot bud!

Hi Robert. I was right on that very spot last year and got several shots, but none of them look like this. It is a most beautiful capture and those rays add power and majesty to an already majestic setting. Incredible. Thanks. PAUL

Thank you so much! I guess I was at the right place at the right time. There is no shortage of subjects to photograph in Italy.

Gorgeous shot, and those sun rays filtering down through the windows are to die for!
