Fun at Church ?!?!?

Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

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. :D

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

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?

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
