DIVINE LITURGY: Homily after the Gospel reading

            ꒌ   ЛИТУРГИЈСКА ПРОПОВЕД - По читању светог јеванђеља. Протојереј-ставрофор др Војислав Билбија својом беседом припрема и бодри парохијане Цркве "Свете Тројице" за предстојећи Часни пост. 

► █░▓    THE HOMILY - The Divine Liturgy is the primary worship service of the Church. In the first half of it, in the part called the 'Rites of Proclamation', following the Gospel reading which occupies a central place in this section, the priest gives a homily, a medium-length excursus on the Scripture (roughly equivalent to the Protestant sermon). The ten-minute speech reported on this image reflected on the Great Lent, the fasting period which has commenced on Monday following this service. The Lent is preceding and leading to the greatest of all Christian feasts, the "Feast of Feasts" - the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, also called Pascha (Easter).
The perspective and order if size in this image (for good reason completely absent in painting of the orthodox icons) symbolizes the sanctity, the hierarchy of the fulfilled life of the saints as opposed to that of the living, even if they belong to venerable clergy.

Panasonic DMC-G80 with its proprietary kit lens, stopped down to f/7.1 aperture at classical 17 mm medium wide angle focal length, with 1/60 shutter speed safely handheld. The sun broke loose from the murky clouds and stormy wind above Rotterdam just for a few seconds, projecting the changing light patterns over the iconostasis. The camera oddly flattened the huge contrast of this scene, but the details were preserved. The aperture of f/7.1 is in terms of depth-of-field equal to almost f/16 in full frame format. The electronic shutter of the G80 and its silent operation is indispensable during the service. 

Developed from raw in Affinity Photo 1.8 and compressed and sharpened in IrfanView. The latter holds up nicely against the competition of bigger brothers and is ideal for fast corrections and batch operations. Not to mention that it is most likely the world's leading viewing software for Windows platform.
