stained glass

31 The great churches of the world tempt you in with their grand architecture, but frequently it is the stained glass windows which are the best things to photograph. They are often bright enough that you don’t need to worry about not being able to use a tripod. To avoid problems with contrast, don’t frame up your shot so that you include large areas of the walls, as the windows will be overexposed or the wall will be featureless black. Zoom in so the window fills the frame.
