The above could have benefited with more flash
Angela took the above after she saw me take the photo below
Both Angela and I took some photos in church yesterday. I don't feel comfortable taking pictures in public buildings unless you have a valid reason. Walking around with a camera in a church on any given Sunday will probably get you some looks but if you are there for a wedding or in our case a baptism nobody takes a second glance. The problem with indoor shots and our little digital cameras is the flash just isn't strong enough. My camera has the ability to add an external flash and for occasions such as this it may be beneficial to get one, but the ease of the onboard flash and the fact that the camera is lighter without it makes me stay away from spending the money.
The Greek Orthodox Churches are quite ornate and you can get some really nice photos. This church was recently renovated as they had a fire a few years back so the colours are still very vivid.
