The Cathedral of Hope is the home of the East Liberty Presbyterian Church in the East Liberty neighborhood of the East End of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. The current building is the fifth church building to occupy the site; the first was in 1819. This cathedral in the Gothic style was built between 1932 and 1935 with a donation from Richard Beatty Mellon (1858–1933) as a memorial to his parents, Thomas Mellon (1813–1908) and Sarah Jane Negley, who were active members of the church. The principal architect was Ralph Adams Cram (1863–1942). Among the distinctions of the Cathedral of Hope are the representation of distinctly Reformed themes in stained glass and statuary. Notably, one stained glass window contains an image of Confederate General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, an ardent Presbyterian. |

My second take with the new Gigapan Epic 100 toy. Turned out quite nice if I do say so.
I do go into the deep end of the pool. 437 images and 2Gigapixel. Not what a beginner usually gets away with. Also the unit held on pretty well. Even when I fitted the camera with it's 70-300 lens. It did not really like it, but it did it's duty very well. This time I got lucky with the weather. A rainy day that changed into a sunny and clear afternoon. Only by the end of this shoot conditions changed and the occasional clouds made me wait a few extra minutes. Two extra learning points for me. Close the aperture even further. The bright light allows for that. And it would havegiven a better depth of field. f10 was enough to get vignetting (fall off)away. Don't try to get wife and daughter into the picture. In one place blending chopped of a leg. In the other it made may daughter completely disappear. Anyway, it was great fun. Looking forward to the next project. |

Adjusted to bring out the details in the darker areas of http://gigapan.org/gigapans/33950/. Completed in 1927, this Roman Catholic church has been recently restored for the 150th anniversary of its founding. I grew up in this town and this beautiful church is where I was baptized, confirmed and married. The stained glass windows, over 50 of them, portray scenes from the Old and New Testament of the Bible and are often used to illustrate the subjects of the sermons during Mass. The only lighting in this photo is from the sunlight coming through the windows. The German company, Franz Mayer of Munich was the designer and builder of the windows. |

An article in the Houston Chronicle explains the situation for this old Gothic Revival Sanctuary, which has been closed for 10 years: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/star/6679903.html This hand-held panorama was taken using a Nikon D70 and a Nikkor 28-80 f/3.3-5.6G lens and was stitched using the GigaPan Stitcher software and additional details can be found on Stitcher Notes with information there concerning the GigaPan Stitcher run. The blue sky is empasized due to a Heliopan UV filter. Note: This panorama can be seen in Google Earth as a curved panorama on a curved surface by clicking the link, View in Google Earth (assuming that you have Google Earth installed on your computer). |
