I stayed with the moks in a cloister for a week, took only shots of the place, no people
-
set 2, inside the church built 1340
-
lots of garden and nature inside and out...
-
I really learned the value of 2.8 and 4 with this lens. 1.4 and 2.0 were the most used to date

The library

Lovely pictorial of your monastery. Beautifully photographed.

Some very nice images ;) Nice and fun even some of them ;)
And very true and neutral to the lens, that is obvious so results are pastel and velvet like.
I would have most likely be inclined to go for a stronger expression in some of the images by giving the more Clarity and or Contrast or do them in B&W conversion.
Lovely light in the second image!

thank you.
you think a more aggressive processing would give some of the shots more impact?
-
Great series of very nice shots ! The library is fantastic !!!
The "one camera, one lens, one place" is a great exercise, almost mystical... :)
-
Yes I think that more Clarity and/or B&W would yield more impact - Question is, do you want more impact ;)

By the way, I love #4 from the library series. The light throuigh the oval window is diffused beautifully. Also, the image reminds me a bit of "2001" by Stanly Kubrick.

Yes indeed!

the workplace with the globe made me want to sit there immediately and work. The 89 year old librarian found it a pity that noone uses that nice place. The library is closed to the public, only monks and guests are entitled to use it

currently I am scanning my output still and decide which pictures to use. My first impulse was to document and make the colors look very much the way they appeared to me in real life. Maybe with more distance I want to revisit the set.
Take this as an example: the light is before dawn and I intentionally chose the underexposed shot from the BKT set of three for my edit because I wanted the greens to appear as saturated and deep as I experienced them in that moment. Here the edit adds an emotional dimension.
The vignette of the Neo-Noct at 1.4 adds some drawing magic.

If the lens is of some flexibility, like the 58mm or 85mm. I guess one week with fisheye only would not yield such a variety of shots. Here the hand of mentioned librarian and the "Kreuzgang" normally closed to the public.
PS thank you for your help with the diagnosis. The infection cancelled itself out before anyone could identify it.

Beautiful series, there are some magnificent sculptures, I'm also drawn to the globe in the library image, the hand with the seal ...
It most have been a very restoring experience
-
Yes, indeed, great series. Love especially the light in #2.

thank you, John.
The hidden room where the monks swear their oath:

in the room with stained glass windows, dark woodden ceiling and walls I kept the orange tint. In which picture do you think a different WB would make the result better?
-
More or less all of the indoor images have some degree of variation, kind of makes the series look a bit off or

I will check that on a calibrated system. The Notebook is not a good reference point

An enterprising set of shots of an interesting place, with the one lens selected being 'not wide' making the challenge very high. The off-center placement of plane of focus in many of the shots requires viewing on a large monitor...didn't work on the laptop. Mixed light sources, in this case low tungsten and cool daylight/skylight, and flat light are sometimes an annoyance. Not sure what can be done about the mixed colors, outside of hue manipulation, and that doesn't always work. Thanks for posting these.
