Kościół św. Franciszka

500px Photo ID: 145452931 - You've seen the crypt bones, now see the gilded woodwork of the Church of São Francisco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Porto, Portugal. The riches used came in considerable measure from a gold rush in 18th century Brazil (applying some 600kg of the gliding metal, as measures go). Sorry, but more baroque detail than pixels available!.This  was a technically tricky shot for me, for the light conditions, the detail (which makes processing contrasts and clarity a bit of a wild game) and the golden hues (which prove quite difficult to fine tune - they may come considerably different depending on your own display setup i guess) all require some careful touching to keep an overall balance, Overmore, the pic is composed by a number of expositions, taken by stealth (no tripod, no flash used), which made it all a more laborious... and adventurous :D
Igreja de São Francisco to wspaniały kościół w Porto. Jego wnętrze zdobią liczne złote dekoracje i freski, tworząc całkowicie unikalną atmosferę. Kościół został zbudowany w XIII wieku i od tego czasu przeszedł kilka przebudów. Chociaż cena biletu wstępu jest stosunkowo wysoka, warto zobaczyć to arcydzieło na własne oczy.
