This is the “Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore” in Florence, Italy. I photographed this magnificent church which was started in 1296AD with the help of a tripod.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!

We all know that our lifestyle depends on the climate zone we are living in. The same is true for places of worship. In the Christian tradition the churches in warmer climate look different that the churches way up north. Both have their own beauty like this altar that I photographed in a small wooden church in Sweden.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
I photographed this image inside the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. Since we were not allowed to use a flash or a tripod I used my nifty 50mm lens at f1.8 to photograph these magnificent mosaics. I blew part of this image up to 100% so you can see the mosaics more in detail.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
This week is “Holy week” in the Christian tradition and I like to continue with a photographic exercise that I did a few years ago on this blog. I challenge you to photograph places of worship. Many churches are currently decorated and I found that many Catholic churches are always open. As always enjoy this exercise!
I photographed this statue inside a church by the name of Santa Maria e San Donato on the Island of Murano just outside of Venice. I used a 50m prime lens at f1.8 to get this image.
Enjoy and keep on working on your images!
Let’s continue last week’s exercise and create images where the camera is close or on the ground.
I took this image with my cell phone and a selfie stick. I like my cell phone because it is capable of creating dng image files that can be beautifully edited in any raw developper. Enjoy and keep on photographing!
