San Marcello al Corso

@Will: Thanks! Currently, I'm playing with Aperture (I used it here to emphasize the details that were almost lost in the darker areas), but I don't use any noise reduction. I didn't have a tripod at hand in that church, so I had to use this high ISO value.

@Steven: Thank you, Steven! Tomorrow's image will show another example for this kind of intimacy.

@HorseRotorVator: Thanks to these bubbly Italians it never gets too peaceful :-)

@Brites: I had to brighten up that photo, too many details were lost in the shadows. This church had really small windows!

@Irwansyah Sk3tchw!nd: Yes, this church was a real toughie in comparison with the greater ones (very bad light here). However, the few people here enliven the scene, so I guess they appreciate the intimacy of this rather small church.

@MaryB: This is sometimes easier in smaller churches because they permit you to capture the whole room without leaving out the details. These glamorous ones, like Il Gesù, almost scream for attention and you don't know where to start and when to stop making images; the smaller ones show everything at once and your eyes can rest.
