Hey all!
Did some travelling around St. Petersburg and Helsinki, Finland last week with a bunch of friends. I took so many pictures and have my favorites up in a thread in the beginners forum(http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...y/260556-st-petersburg-helsinki-week-c-c.html) but had two HDR shots of churches I wanted to post here:
Church of Spilled Blood -- Located in St. Petersburg, Russia. The architecture of the church is primarily baroque and neoclassical, but the main attraction of the church is its 7500 square meters of mosaics that basically cover every surface of the interior sans the floor. As a photographer walking into this church was completely overwhelming -- there was just no way with my skill set I could capture in a single frame the depth and detail of this magnificent structure. It also did not help that I did not have a tripod with me, however I managed. This shot is of the highest ceiling in the church.
Temppeliaukio Church -- Located in Helsinki, Finland. This contemporary church completed in 1969 is one of a kind - it is wholly built into rock. All walls of the church are made of rough, unworked rock and supported by a concrete ceiling with a dome. Natural light is provided by the windows situated between the supporting beams for the ceilings. Truly one of the most unique and beautiful churches I have ever seen.
So please, give me your critique and commments!
