St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York City
Especially for Emilio: Handheld, 23mm fixed lens, 1/60 sec at f/2.0, ISO 800
I definitely put the low-light capability of my Fuji X100T to the test with this image. And what’s even more fun? This is a 3-photo merge: In landscape orientation, I shot from the ceiling to the aisle and merged the three images in Photoshop. Do click on the image to see it enlarged in all its glory. I continue to be amazed by this wonderful little camera!

I have no clue how to do a photomerge, you certainly have managed it beautifully!

I’m really getting tired of having to come up with superlatives for your photography. But I never get tired of having my name mentioned by you. So now that you’ve answered my question, I hope I can get something as good as you always seem to. This is beautiful!

No superlatives necessary, Emilio. Just leave a smiley face if you’d prefer (or a thumbs down if that’s more appropriate!)😄 Have fun with the T1 (and FYI, I found that one less intuitive than the 100T – just saying). And, by the way, where are you going??

Thanks, AmyRose! I think I’m finally getting the hang of photomerging 😀 Though, I must say, Photoshop (or Lightroom) really does all the work. And I know what you mean about the capabilities of phones!

The phone cameras do have their limitations, Stacy, as I am understanding. Today I bring out my Canon because the itch is there to photograph with it what I have been with my phone. There is a big difference, IMO, and so I wish to return to my first Love today. 🙂 ❤

wow! great job. This is an amazing photo. I’ve wanted to try the photo merge thing. I have photoshop but have been completely overwhelmed every time I try to use it, so I stay in Lightroom. 🙂 Definitely one thing I want to try in 2016

Oh, I know the feeling about Photoshop, Lisa! I know a few things, but I, too, do most of my post-processing in LR. The photomerge, though, is actually pretty easy – it’s a couple of button clicks and PS does all the rest. And, as my photo shows, you don’t need a tripod to make it work. Just overlap your photos by about 40%. And it works on both portrait and landscape orientations. Give it a whirl 🙂
