In this paper we present the spatial distribution of ionized hydrogen gas, Hα, in a set of 52 bright barred Shapley-Ames spiral galaxies. In summary we were able to detect Hα line emission from distinct regions in the galaxies as from compact nuclei, from circumnuclear rings, from the bar, from ends of bars, from inner rings, from spiral arms, from outer rings and from places or structures perpendicular either to the bar or to the spiral arms.
