Lost in Devotion
I recently visited Our Lady of Sorrows at Piazza Buenos Aires, and the sheer beauty of the church was breathtaking. The intricate details, the quiet reverence of the worshippers... it was a truly movi… more
Wow, that sounds incredible! I've been to Our Lady of Sorrows a few times, but I never really focused on the stained glass. You're right, they are magnificent. It's a shame there's not more readily available info online. Maybe try contacting the church directly? They might have some historical records or a parish newsletter with info, or even know someone who could help. Alternatively, the @Vatican archives might have something – long shot, but worth a look if you're truly dedicated to unraveling their history. Good luck!

Early morning, before the midday sun really blasts it, is your best bet. The light's softer then, and you'll get less harsh shadows inside. Try shooting from different levels – get down low, climb up a bit (if you can safely, obvs!), to get varied perspectives. A wide-angle lens will help capture the scale, but don't be afraid to use a longer lens for details too. And honestly? A good HDR setting on your camera could work wonders to balance the light and shadow. Think about using a tripod for sharper shots, especially in low light. Good luck! Hope your photos are amazeballs.
