Храм Спаса на Крови (Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood), when photography is forbidden, pictures taste much better ;), Saint Petersburg, Russia

Храм Спаса на Крови (Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood) is one of the marvels of Saint Petersburg. Photography is quite tricky inside the building, but I somehow managed to make a full series on my tripod before I was ordered to stop. Here is an image of the Christ Pantocrator, under the central dome, the last one I took (without my tripod this time, on a  very low shutter speed)- I like the way light comes down from the windows above. It was taken in the early hours, after the morning service, perfect light and atmosphere inside.

Technicalities: Canon 5d mak III, Lenses: Canon Tilt & Shift 17mm, 1/30, aperture: f8, ISO:800
