While Lucas was having communion for his nameday, i took advantage of what little time i had to take some shots againt a wonderful sky and a stunning inside of the church. have to go back to this place with a tripod and no babysitting duties. very little PP on these. 14-24mm, (i wish i had FF )









thanks for looking.

Bloody beautiful shots there Chris!

I love all of them but my faves would be one and three...

You can borrow the D700 sometime mate, as I think you, the D700 and your 14-24 would be a magical threesome.

Thanks for showing us these images mate..well done.

thanks mate.
i think borrowing a d700 would be a slippery slope to financial hardship indeed. lol

These are amazing images Rooz. I’m fascinated by the horseshoes on the roof, mainly pointing down, which infers good luck pouring down on you. Just a question, is this a Coptic church?

Fantastic Series. Iam drawn to the quality of the subject in the first, and with christmas aroud the corner the forth could be a card for season greetings. Amazing efforts and a job well done. Nice Work.

thanks Chris. its a Russian Orthodox church. those "horseshoes" are actually the gold halo's around the saints heads. due to the exposure you cant nake out the saints but the reflection off the metallic gold paint for the halos makes them stand out. (nice idea you had there though lol). the saint thats highlighted on the right, from the sun coming thru a high window, is actually St Lucas which is quite appropriate given the occasion. lol

this is a return to the scene of the crime somewhat for the lkittle fella who was baptised here. anyone who has seen a russian baptism knows there is no subtelty about it. lol

We went through 3 Greek Orthodox baptisms for our sons, so I understand what Lucas went through  BTW, our youngest grandson is also named Lucas...must be something in the air
