The Intercession of the Theotokos nunnery in Tervenichi.

Series were made in summer 2017 and 2018 and merged for publication, since the first one couldn’t be successful as we arrived to the village at 14 o’clock. Lighting condition on a hill in midday were far from being tolerable, so it was decided to refrain from publishing the earlier shots before making something more proper in morning or evening. An opportunity turned up on 1^st September 2018.

Waiting for dawn. 5.49, f11, 1/3s, CPL+gradient grey.  

The same 5.50.

Another white balance, 5.52, f11, 1/2s.

Gradient blue, 5.53, f11, 0,62s, CPL+gradient blue filters.

First rays. F13, 1/8s, CPL+gradient grey.

Another focal distance, the same settings.

Another view from a hill. F13, 1/8s, CPL+gradient grey.

Clear geometry. F13, 1/10s, CPL+gradient grey.

A new day has begun. F13, 1/15s, CPL+gradient grey.

Right on arrival. F10/1/2s, CPL plus possibly gradient grey – I don’t remember. An objectionable shot as cropped camera limitations don’t allow taking high quality night views. We have what we have.

Now the earlier series taken in August 2017.

Frozen mirror. F14, 1/60s, CPL+skylight L1A.

Frozen mirror, F14, 1/50s, CPL+gradient grey.

Marble-like landscape. F14, 1/50s, CPL plus something else.

Despite certain doubts concerning their publication, it was eventually decided to publish this couple of panoramas. A total fail in terms of lighting conditions, nonetheless may they exist.

Fields and hills, f14, 1/50s, CPL+skylight L1A. Very large file, clickable, but not on a slow connection.

The lake. F14, 1/60s, CPL+skylight L1A.
