It was only minutes before sunset, sun behind my back, shining weak through the door, giving an orangy/red glow to the interior and reflecting itself on the golden icon, this is why it's so bright. I set up my Manfrotto 190B tripod, attached the fisheye zoom on my Pentax istD at 10mm, closed the aperture down to f11. The fisheye distortion produced a "stargate" look of the rectangular chapel door, which I strongly desired for this mystical place. At that particular moment, I felt that going into the chapel, I would step into a different universe and I wanted to capture that feeling on my image. The fisheye lens helped me achieve that.

The fisheye distortion produced a "stargate" look of the rectangular chapel door, which I strongly desired for this mystical place. At that particular moment, I felt that going into the chapel, I would step into a different universe and I wanted to capture that feeling on my image. The fisheye lens helped me achieve that.
I made a test shot, the orangy glow was there but the interior was too dark, too much contrast between lit and dark areas. I popped up the camera's flash, Its coverage angle would not cover the whole frame, so the white wall at the entrance would not overexpose. I dialed -1.7 for the flash, so that its light would blend in with the available light, and its use could not be noticed.
But there was still something missing. I wanted the sanctuary to have an otherworldly appearance. It had a white-washed ancient capital in there serving as an altar (the chapel is built upon the ruins of the ancient Apollo Phanaios temple), which is very unusual, and I wanted it to be visible. So, I took out a Pentax 360 flash, set it on wireless mode and placed it in the sanctuary, on the floor facing up, behind the thin pillar. I lit up the candles in a hurry, and click!
During the 0.8 sec of the exposure, I aimed with my headlamp's led light at the central icon, (center of image), which was too dark.
During these 0.8 secs, every light source cooperated, but in its own distinctive way: The diffused orangy glow of the sun, a direct ray of the sun overexposing the golden icon, the subtle candle light, the weak internal flash at -1.7, the hidden flash unit behind the pillar, the cold led spot light on the dark icon. After a few seconds the sun set, the glow was gone. I silently and slowly gathered my gear, as if a solemn ritual had just ended...
