But don't forget to put the White balans button on cloudy. Greetings Hans van Veelen, Dawei.
I don't understand why you would set your white balance to cloudy if you're shooting inside a church. Can someone explain why?

1/4 second with the lens wide open (smallest aperture) .....on a tripod always. Every church. that is, during the ceremony.
Which is it...smallest aperture or lens wide open? They're opposites.

What lens did you use? Good shot!
I used a Tamron 70 to 300mm zoom on my Nikon D3000. I was zoomed all the way out to 300mm which on my crop sensor is the equivalent of 450mm on a full size sensor.
The other details include f/10 at 1/640th of a second and an ISO of 400. I was shooting handheld, hence the faster shutter speed. I manually focused as well. Auto focus is fine for some things, but for birds, I've found the only way to do it right is to use manual.

I'm thinking about entering this one in the phone company's photo contest. I was able to capture the meadowlark perched on one of their fiber optic markers.

Either one is going to be only as good as the operator. If you know a Nikon or Canon user well enough to share lenses, that's what i would choose. I'm partial to Nikons myself.

Because of the cheapness of extension tubes and reversing rings etc., I don't honestly see the point in what you are doing.
For me it's kind of like shooting in manual versus program mode. There is a certain sense of accomplishment that comes with doing it yourself.

I have an old b&w enlarger stored in my basement. I wonder if i could repurpose the lens from it for this project?
