Ceiling Fresco, Santa Maria Maddalena, RomePosted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 31 May 2008 in Art & Design. We've been here a few months ago: La Maddalena is dedicated to St Mary Magdelene. It is situated at a very beautiful square I unfortunately failed to photograph adequately (next time!) and Rome's only true Rococo church - we'll get the chance to have a closer look at its beauty in our next visit. The fresco in the vault shows The raising of Lazarus at the prayer of his sister Mary, I don't know who painted it. My original photo had an almost sepia tone. When I corrected the lighting the true colours were revealed. God, I love image processing! My (old) coffee-table book of selected postings.

@Ronnie 2¢: Actually it was just a push of one button and I was finished. Really flabbergasting! :-D @Michael Skorulski: I'm the last one who expected these colours. As so often, light was quite dull when I made these photos and only two and a half years later I can really see what I have photographed there. That's quite cool! :-D @Helma: My pleasure! If you're interested: here are many more church shots :-) @Japanalia: You're welcome. You'll like the next one :-) @JoeB: Amen! ;-) @Ian Bramham: Actually it's much simpler: for captures like that I just lay my camera on the floor, lens to the top. For releasing the shutter I use my remote control. That's all. Pretty simple :-) @Twelvebit: And this is just a small church! Michelangelo described it best in his own words after he had painted the ceiling of Sistine Chapel. |
