Description Er... Yes, it is. I mean, it is the inner aisle on the right in St. Paul's Basilica Outside the Walls in Rome, said to be the second largest Roman Catholic church after the St. Peter's in Vatican.
Anyway, this magnificent church is far more graceful, more tranquile and pure in style. There are less tourists as it is located far from the downtown or Vatican, takes about 20 minutes by metro line B and about a ten minute walk from the Basilica S Paolo station, and this means you are far less disturbed either in your prayer or rubbernecking. There are a lot to rubberneck!

Technical data for those who may concern: this was shot 25 secs long at f/18 aperture on ISO500 with my gripped Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and EF 24–105mm f/4 L IS USM tube from the floor, with a Manfrotto Pixie Evo 2 compact tripod, thethered via WiFi to my Samsung SM-T800 (Galaxy Tab S 10.5") and remote controlled with Chainfire's DSLRController

At last, I have a question to my Italian friends and fellow deviants, especially to FrancescaDelfino  

Ho una domanda che non mi lascia stare. Ho visitato la Basilica di S. Paolo Fuori Le Mura in Roma due settimane fa e da quel tempo non posso capire come potrebbe lE murA nel suo nome? "Muro" e'  il maschile singolare di tipo di parete e "muri" e' plurale, vero? Ma "le" e' feminile plurale e "mura" e' feminile singolare per me...

HoremWeb  non sono sicura di aver capito bene la tua domanda, forse ti stai chiedendo perchè 'mura' al plurale rimane sempre mura?
Ci sono delle parole italiane che per il plurale si usa comunque il singolare, mettiamo solo l'articolo davanti al plurale, esempio LE mura, le è plurale.
Quando hai bisogno chiedi pure

Grazie Francesca! Ma qual'e' la differenza tra "muro" e "mura"? Come potrei decidere se quando devo usare "muro" e quando "mura"? (O "mura" e' sempre plurale?)

Oops, never mind, I've found a great explanation! Word Reference com: muro o mura?  

Grazie per il tuo tempo!

Mi scuso per il ritardo, ultimamente non riesco a collegarmi prima di sera.
Comunque la spiegazione data da Gaia68 è perfetta!

E' un piacere

Cara Francesca, non devi scusare per niente! Queste conversazioni sono i migliori aiuti, ci fanno piu' facile di ricordare la grammatica e le parole Comunque, sono consapevole che tutti di noi abbiamo la nostra vita oltre il internet – neanch'io non posso rispondere tutti di messaggi che ho ricevuto.

Stunning capture Hor. Extraordinary sharpness, great feeling of depth and beautiful composition.

Thank you, Alejandro! It was a painstaking process to find the right exposure as the nave is far brighter than the aisles, so I am really happy that it turned out this well. For the composition part, this is what I really like in the tethered photography, it gives all the composition advantages that the old fashioned large format cameras gave with their matte glass sheet, except this is not upside down (but I can turn the tablet the other way, if I want ) Even the sharpness may be controlled almost the same way, though the loupe is a feature in the app, not an actual glass thing But this method lets me photograph slowly, putting everything under my control and makes me think before shoot, almost like the large format cameras. It often gives a feel of lacking something—when I shoot "by hand" I do several takes to get spare images for the hand shake, timing failure, blinks and whatnots. In thethered mode I do two shots only—the second one for backup in case of a possible file corruption. It also involves more conscious theme selection, as set up needs time, too. So it is almost like working with a large wooden camera that so many photographers praise. I think the result is self-explanatory

Yes, the truth is that the results are very significant. I think that in view of this, I must make an effort and take the tripod with me more often.

Check out for this Manfrotto Pixie Evo 2, it is small, fits into a large pocket or a belt pouch, and almost firm enough to hold my gripped 5D Mk IV and EF 24-105 (almost 3 kgs). With your Rebel T3i and a medium heavy lens it will be a bless if you can get one. Its price is in the "almost affordable" range, cheaper than a Joby Gorilla Pod and way more solid than the Vanguard and other micro statives. Of course it could help you if you can shoot from ground level or you find a spanful flat area to put it on (its extendable legs can spread quite big gaps firmly). I was on the edge with the heavy gear but even so with a little extra care I could manage shots like these In certain cases when I tried to use it without thethering and release the shutter by hand, I achieved a special type of light painting (okay, I'll be honest: a nasty motion blur) but a 10sec self release solved the problem. 2secs weren't enough though.

Anyway, you can thether Rebel T3i, too, but only with a quality USB cable to any Android or iOS device. It is a pain for the first couple of trials, but after some practice it is a bless! Even if the screen is not much bigger than the camera LCD, it will go independent. You can use strange angles, shake-free operation with an ease. A Canadian friend even does street photography with his camera on his lap, and chimping the phone screen (actually remote controlling the camera). He took great candid shots and got many followers on G+ and 500px. (But first of all, he is talented, too!)
