mass (for MSA Nov./Dec. 2017)

I have the same camera. I am always handheld and blurry. Nice scene. That is some floor.

Well done! I really like the composition and lighting.

@Eric Rose Thank you very much, Eric !
@LLSteelsmith Thank you, LL !

I think it is great also, like that light streaming across the room to the near wall. Did not notice any softness, probably because it such a nice photograph.

The only thing looking soft in that scene to me is the distant background of the far wall of the church. It's hard to get motion blur with a Rolleiflex if you're not trying to do it or you don't have Parkinsons. I routinely pull of 1/4 second exposures hand-held with mine.

@mike c Thank you, Mike ! You can see the blur only if you blow up the image. I'm quite satisfied with this shot.
@TheFlyingCamera I totally agree - Rolleiflexes are great for hand-held long exposures. I have taken some photographs with the Rolleiflex with 1/15 or 1/8sec and those are obviously sharp. Maybe I (my hand) was moved by the mass ...

Your picture reminds me of just what the Münster Dom was designed and built for. I wonder if you have heard the main organ, it has an unbelievable sound in that setting.
Nice picture by the way, very light and airy.
When I visited, the cathedral was being readied to celebrate 750 years, the list of Cardinals on one of the walls over the preceding 749 years was very interesting. If one looks at the names, you can approximately work out which nation was in power and over what time frame, in that region of what is now Germany.
Münster has perhaps the best cathedral I have ever seen in Germany, the town itself, would have to be close to being the push bike capital of Germany, if not the world; simply wonderful place.
Mick.

@Mick Fagan Mick, thank you for sharing your memories and thoughts about Münster and the cathedral ! Listening to the main organ is a great experience - maybe the reason for my unsteady hands ...

What stuck me first and with unyielding impact was the openness and generous lighting of the enclosure. Perhaps that is because you distanced yourself and 'wasted' available space of foreground. But, I think that this works well. The only thing lacking here, Manfred, is Martin Luther posting his 95 Theses upon one of the ornaments. - David Lyga

It is a statement about mankind and is self-explanatory in its composition and content.
