Photographer's Note

I don't know if they belonged to each other or not, but I guess they did.

Hello Gy鰎gy,
I would have expected most members of the site to select the workshops as their main photos. This is definitely more in your style, I am just surprised to find you in this environment, so far from flea markets and mountain passes. The darkness forced me to adjust my eyes for a while to discover the barefoot man kneeling in front of the altar. It was a well spotted moment and I guess you had to be quite discreet to manage this well timed photo. It certainly tells me something about the world.
Have a nice weekend,
Gert

No doubt you picked the right picture as main post, Gy. Sign of the times, sign of the cross...great bl/w picture with lots of meaning. The second person in the shot I only noticed after a while. Great picture, tfs.

Hello Gyorgy,
A beautiful photo of the interior of this small church. You really made the most of the low lighting here and the two people are well-included.

Hi Gyorgy
I would have posted both photos.
A great one with the phone checking woman but I also like the light on the feet of the prayer just in front of her.
cheers
Ian

Hello Gyorgy, Not such an old archive. A well-observed scene, good title to it. People are crazy about the need for mobiles everywhere. Maybe a bit too dark it is difficult to see the praying man, we see only the bare feet (but it is not a Buddhist or Hindu temple, so it is strange).

Kind regards MAlgo

Hello Gyorgy,
Another nice and perfect TE entry in b&w in your gallery.
You've captured with perfect pov and ligth management.
The use of handies is a major problem of todays World. No matter if in a church a mosque or synagogue. Unfortunately.
Good message.
TFS and best regards

Hi Gyorgy
Intimate and Serene!
Thanks to your narratives, obviously the view point works in the way that focus is on the lady at the thirds and the second person becomes secondary contributor. Credit to your competent side-lighting control and technique in dim low light ensuring that we never miss all the little features there. Not an easy task within the constraint so to speak, but your determination in making is applauded. Well done, Congrats
Warm regards

Hello Guy,
The two workshop photos are beautiful, but the main photo is very special in terms of subject and execution. Still, I would have liked to see some more contrast in the photo, but the bare feet make up for that.
Interesting presentation.
Have a nice day, groet Rob
