Environmental portrait at 300mm. I consider it as such because the lighting, coming from the audio control gives a very specific color, direction and overall ambiance. As for the previous post in this thread, he is an audio technician for live events. The lens performance is brilliant wide open.

Thank you Akira, have been while since the last live dance show. It was difficult to find the rhythm but a very pleasant experience. The show had a few excellent visual moments. So happy you like this one
Øivind, Richard, thank you. Yes, 300mm can work for portraits. Unobtrusive, it works nicely for candid too. Little to no post. The camera was set as neutral profile, wb k3200 (my usual starting point for stage work). Light levels were low, some iso3200, f2.8, 1/160. All adjustments are a exposure fine tunning

I'm glad an image of mine could sooth you in the midst of the heavy damp of a tropical storm. After all the violence of the storm has moved on, you are still left with the oppressive wet air. Ugh. I hope by the time you read this, things have dried out and cooled down. Cheers!

Nice Take.
In my hometown there is a former church from about the same time, which resembles the same shape with its portal arches.
The shape of the parabolic arches is reminiscent of steel tubbings, which were used in mining to support the tunnels.
Build from bricks as well.
https://www.emschertainment.de/veranstaltungsorte/heilig-kreuz-kirche/
Architect was Josef Franke https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Franke_(Architekt,_1876)
He did a few projects and buildings in the greater area.
I may have a few photos from the time as it still was considered a operational church.
And yeah - obviously the town was grown on coal and steel and for many of us the structural archetypes are still present on the mind.
