Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I should have considered the HDR possibility.

The camera was centered in the aisle, but may have been pointing slightly to one side. When you really look close, everything is just slightly soft. This is a 5-shot HDR. I'm not sure of the side effects from trying to fix the slight perspective problem in Lightroom. I took several test shots at different focal lengths, focusing in different places. I'm going back to re-shoot armed with notes from this session. Sadly, most of the churches are locked when not having services. Theft and vandalism seems to be a problem. When I was a kid, several decades ago, the doors were almost always open.The pastor and I went to the grade school together and my aunt is one of the ladies that keeps the church clean and beautiful. That makes access a little easier. gs George Sinos -------------------- gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 12:25 PM, Jack Davis <jdavi...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I'd say you have accomplished 30 day printing results in a week.
