STEALING IMAGES, a photo from Moscow, Center

Photographer's Note

When you buy the tickets to visit Kremlin there are many options and it is difficult to ask for information to the angry people who works in the ticket office, they have no patience with those who don't understand their rules. When the angry woman who sell me the ticket became to shake the poster with information I decided to buy anyone about churches. It gave me access to the Kremlin and I could to visit the interior of the churches, but photos were prohibited. I presume because the interior of the monuments is so narrow and thousands of Chinese tourists would like to do that and they put this rule to prevent chaos. Anyway I tried to stolen some images.
I don't remember the name of this church, but you can have an idea how their are adorned with many murals, probably produced between 16th century to 18th century..
.............

Quando se compra entradas para visitar o Kremlin existem várias opções e é difícil entender bem cada uma e é difícil pedir informações às pessoas zangadas que trabalham lá e que não tem paciência alguma com aqueles que não entendem as suas regras.
Quando a mulher feiosa começou a sacudir o cartaz com as regras decidi comprar um qualquer que tivesse as igrejas, aquele ingresso me deu direito a ver o interior do Kremlin e entrar nas igrejas. Contudo, era proibido tirar fotos lá dentro, creio que era uma forma de evitar tumultos, em especial com os milhares de turistas chineses, já que as igrejas são bem estreitas e pequenas.
Mesmo assim ainda roubei umas fotos, mas não sei mais o nome dessa igreja. No entanto, podem ver como elas são decoradas com muitos murais coloridos, a maioria deles foi feita entre algum ponto do século 16 ao 18.

Jorge, the church interior is richly ornated with ancient religious frescos. The chandeliers are very elegant. A safety barrier protects the artworks from deterioration from the tourists. Interesting photo note, fine colors, good sharpness, regards

Hello Jorge, I often read in your notes that people in the ticket offices or restaurant are rude yo you. I wonder why. It has never happened to me in Russia and I travelled a lot and also mainly by myself. When you do not know the language, the good option is to organize as much as possible online. For instance, you can look at the Kremlin page in quiet what kind of tickets there are, when it is open, etc. And you avoid the queues. Another useful option is to have things printed in your native language and in a local one. I did this in China when it would be difficult to find the hostel. I just showed the print to taxi driver. When he didn't know the place, he called the hotel for explanations.

Nice stolen photo. Indeed, if the Chinese tourists would like to take selfies or pictures with the V-signs everywhere, it would be worse. But I do not think it is not the reason for the ban. But no so much problem. here are so many wonderful churches in Moskow or around with no tourists and where photos are allowed.

Best regards MAlgo

Hello Jorge,
It's an interesting interior with rather dark but attractive paintings and architectural details. Despite the limited light the photo is well exposed and sharp. Maybe some more contrast would have been possible. I don't mind the inclusion of a visitor.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Jorge,

The same rule applies in the Sixtine chapel of the Vatican. The point of view is showing the details of the interior of the church. The surrounding light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Jorge,

Such a theft makes you feel very secretive, very bad, I know it did to me when a secretly took a shot in the Vatican!
However, despite the problems with the ticket sellers and the prohibitive signs, you achieved a very acceptable and interesting photograph from inside the church. The murals do look old, with a mixture of religious and royal subjects.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Jorge,
Signs telling me that I cannot take photos often make me want to take pictures more than ever, especially when I've already paid to get in. So it's good you managed to steal this photo as well. It shows the many paintings on the wall really nicely.

Hi Jorge,
the interior indeed looks quite old. I usually give up on the interiors, I mean I visit just a small selection and usually I don't take photos there not even because it is prohibited but it is usually so dark so it is a challenge.
But I am glad you took the photos as it allows us to feel as if we were visiting the place including many splendid interiors.
The man with the blue jacket adds a nice color touch.
Very well done,
M

Hello Jorge,
It's not the first time that I read in your note that people in Russia are not always friendly and helpful towards foreigners.
That puts a big damper on the joy of travel and will make me think several times whether travelling to Russia is a good idea. It's not only the beauty of a country that makes or breaks a journey.
Here you show us a church interior with lots of beautiful frescoes and some well decorated columns.
A bit dark but I understand you had to take the picture secretly.
Best regards, Paul
