Holly light and a black snake Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a fragment of a great St Peter's basilica in Rome.
There is a far, darker area there, behind an altar in apse. And over black mramour columns,
there is shining stained-glass window, surrounded by gold Rococo "glory" motive.
The holly light is well seen from an opposite end of this 186 meters long church.

I used no tripod for this shot. ISO 400

Hi Krystian, interior photograph are always very difficult, but those picture is very beautiful, maybe a tripod usual is certain easily. You cropped is perfectly, the colours nice, is this scanning or digital Krystian?
Thanks for sharing.

Good details and a very interesting motive. But personaly I feel that this column becomes a bit distracting. I would prefer to have the Holy Light as a single motive of the composition using the whole frame (in a vertical photo) or placed in one of the top corners of the image to show more of the church.

L'angle de prise de vue est très bon, Krystian. Toutefois, le fait d'avoir retenu "400 ISO" ; le bruit s'est installé et nuit à la définition de l'image. Le fragment supérieur central permet de voir ces angelots encadrant ce vitrail ovale. Les photos d'église nécessitent pratiquement l'utilisation d'un trépied (je sais que cela est parfois interdit, ainsi que le flash).
Le stabilisateur d'image a permis, malgré tout, de restituer l'ambiance de ce style baroque de la Basilique de Rome.
Merci du partage Krystian.
