This altar-piece was there is Tammisaari Church where I was assigned to take orchestra rehearsal photos. I arrived early so I had some time to look around and I found this dignified scene. I looked a bit closer and from uncommon angles and this framing cought my eye. The 50mm 1.4 was the right tool for this type of shooting. I did not want to go for higher ISO as the details were quite dark and easily noisy. 1/50 was barely enough to hand-held this in that awkward shooting-position, but in the end I did not regret the sore neck for a moment.

I struggle with this lighting, speed as well. But You always pull it off flawless.
