Painted With Light
Uploaded: January 13, 2014
Winter is my favorite season to witness the sunlight through Washington National Cathedral's stained glass windows. Here, the (unseen) windows of the south clerestory cast their light on the adjacent rib clusters of the vaulted ceiling, just starting to spring up and away from the wall. I wanted a compressed composition of just light-washed ribs, so I used 200mm on the 70-300. I was fortunate to get access to a scaffolded platform situated 75 feet off the floor; the platform put me about 2 feet above the bottom edge of the large clerestory windows.
1/14 2nd Place - EOD
In grateful and loving memory of Rowan LeCompte, renowned stained glass artist, who designed nearly four dozen of the cathedral's 231 windows, including the 8 windows casting the beautiful colors in this image.
