Sunlight in the Cathedral
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 4 November 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Sunlight in Sé Cathedral, Madeira during our recent visit to the island. The cathedral was full of local people watching the newly arrived statue of Our Lady of Fátima, hoping to witness one of the miracles for which the statue is famous.

A sneaky shot, Ian. I like how nobody seems to realise you are taking their photo. Georgeous light as well.

@Mirko Herzner: Thanks Mirko.....everyone in the cathedral was concentrating on the statue. If you google "Our Lady of Fátima" you'll see that the statue has a reputation.
@Alun: Thanks Alun!
@Julia: Thanks Julia.....it was certainly the lovely light which prompted me to take the photo.

My first thought was shouldn't the light be on the nun ;-) A really candid shot and you have mastered the light and situation excellently.

You have captured the devotional of the worshipers very well, Ian. I like the mood of this great shot with beautiful lighting.
