7D and Samyang 8/3.5
Eleven exposures courtesy of Magic Lantern, edited in Lightroom, Nik HDR Efex Pro 2 and Topaz software.

I failed regarding the windows top left, must try harder. Razz
Tried to keep this kinda natural, 1-stop increments help that and also keep the noise relatively low.

One of my favorite subjects . A vey well done HDR , balanced and without those horrid artificial hdr look.
Lots of detail .The lens is not a classical architecture one , rather a "special effects" one . You made a good use of it . Congratulations ,well done , Gary !

Nicely done. I wouldl not have realised it is HDR produced if you didn't mention so.

Thanks for the kind replies everyone Embarassed
It's encouraging to see that several people didn't think it looks like an HDR composite. There's an HDR method called 'enfuse' which produces much cleaner looking results, I tried to create the same look while using regular HDR pp.

This church was very dark, in fact I couldn't see any detail in the ceiling at all. All the exposures were shot at ISO 800, which on a 7D is as far as I'd want to push it. So I'm very pleased with how low the visible noise was when I created this in Nik's HDR Efex Pro 2. I also used Nik's Define to clean up this small amount of noise, then tweaked a bit in Topaz Detail.

The preset I used in HDR Efex Pro was one of my own, I find the built-in ones a little too much for most cases.
