Normally when I enter Grace Cathedral, not during a service, of course, It's quiet and relatively empty however, on this day, although only a few tourists wandered around taking in the sights or walking the labyrinth an organist brilliantly bellowed out a series of sombre tunes on the massive pipe organ. I approached him and handed him a few bills of gratuity asking him if, one, he could play Bach's - Chorale Wachet Auf, Ruft Uns Die Stimme and two, if I could snap a few pictures of him; after a double indubitably yes answer I snapped a few unimpressive images before deciding to white balance my camera to tungsten light and here is what I got.

Unfortunately on this impromptu visit to Grace Cathedral I'd forgotten my tripod, which although I didn't really need to remedy the low light situation none the less helps me to get a level shot as I have a problem usually getting a perfectly balanced image hand held so in this case, after a few failed attempts, I had a few people staring at me strangely as I lay flat on my chest using the floor as a leveling tool to capture this nice perspective black and white

I was just sitting reading the NY Times one morning and thought the place I was sitting would make a very nice photo - and - it did....

Grace Cathedral soars into the sky high atop Nob Hill in San Francisco. Taken with Sigma 10-20mm. Love that lens.
