Description Cupola of the basilica of Esztergom, Hungary. Taken with a technique I learned from a documentary - the "Ave Maria" technique. Put your camera on the ground, its lense facing upwards. Set the timer and shoot a long-exposure photo. And pretend that you do not notice people giving you strange glances.

Nagyon érdekes kép. Azt gondoltam a cím a templomi környezetre utal, nem a technikára

Probably the only photo angle I've seen which manages to capture that really strange vertigo you get when seeing these in person. Very nice, but my hands are tingling now (strange reaction?).

I take it that given the long exposure time, you use a small aperture (say f/22?) to minimize depth of field? I'd like to shoot a picture with this technique if I ever get the opportunity.

The EXIF on the right of the screen says : 1/10s, F13, 14mm, 400iso...
You just need to read...

Obviously it hasn't occurred to you that I may simply have not seen that info.

Thanks for the insinuation, though, it's much appreciated.

Actually, I think I shot this with f14 or f16. Glad you like the pic!

Dizzying; feels like I'm falling into it.
Of course, I haven't had an eye exam in a while...

Jujj, már azt hittem, hanyatt fekve fényképeztél
Nagyon szép lett a kép különben.
