I think, it was around lunch timeLighting
It was a little challenging. The sunlight was pretty bright, even in the church. I took the picture at ISO 80, f/2,8, 1/400Equipment
I used a Leica D-Lux 5Inspiration
this church is quite magic. After a driving into a valley with narrow and winding roads, one reaches a little villages with old house and this very modern church designed by the architect Botta. The contrast between old and modern architecture is quite striking. The church is breath taking.Editing
no, I did not use any post-processing.In my camera bag
Nowadays I use a Nikon D800 or D4. I have a selection of lenses. For wildlife my favorite one is a 600mm lens. I use it as much as possible. In the summer I always carry a macro lens. There is always a chance to see an interesting insect.Feedback
Time. For a picture of this building one needs time. I spent quite some time walking around and study the light and the structure of the church, before I started taking pictures.
