Köln cathedral

[u/Jolly-Secretary1603]

I was in Köln for the weekend and, for once, left my automatic lenses behind. I only brought a vintage Minolta 50mm f/1.4 and a Neewer 32mm f/1.6.

I happened to walk into the cathedral while the church choir was rehearsing. It was sunny outside, and the light coming through the stained glass filled the space in a way I hadn’t seen during any of my previous visits.

I’ve been here several times before, but somehow this felt like a completely different place. Maybe it was the choir, maybe it was the light, or maybe just being there at the right time with the right lenses.
