Vatican City God rays

March 3rd, 2008 - 10:10pm

If you’re going to photograph God rays (Crepuscular rays), the best place to find them is above Saint Peter’s, pointing directly at the Vatican City, right?

Taken from the roof of Castel Sant’Angelo.

A bit disappointed that I’d forgotten to switch from ISO1600 back to something more useful. We’d been inside the castle, so obviously the higher sensitivity was needed but it’s still annoying; I seemed to do this quite a bit and it’s really an annoying design “feature” of the 350D that it doesn’t show you the ISO setting.

A few steps to the right might have had the God rays pointing directly at the church but I don’t think it really matters. Some great symbolism here, I think.
