Zen Precept ceremony

I've been made unofficial photographer for my Zen Center and have to photograph many ceremonies and events which are rarely seen. The space is confined and I cannot use flash. Challenging and nerve-wracking

I was in advertising and around art people. We always talked about Rembrandt lighting. As you probably know a camera
good in low light with a fast lens will help. I own the Sony a7s II and has the a7s pretty amazing light. The photo you posted
is pretty wonderful.

I used to be an art dealer and actually sold a couple of Rembrandt etchings. They were b/w but I sure do know what you refer to as Rembrandt lighting. I never thought about it in terms of photography but I think that is often what I am aiming for. It is an intimate lighting. I am starting to develop a style where I look for the intimate moment and crop in tight to try to capture them. Thanks for your comments. They are very encouraging.

IMHO, very nice as shot. I think a tighter crop (get rid of the left side; maybe go vertical) would make it mind blowing.

Interesting and I think I agree with you. I am shooting in a very confined space and I have to counter a tendency to crop so tight that it becomes claustrophobic. But I see that I left superfluous detail in in the left side that, if removed, would have drawn the eye in nicely. Appreciate your critique.

Recently in some of these high powered Cable TV shows like some of "House of Cards" in one former seasons the shots were in very
low light which added a powerful dynamic. I think we are worrying about seeing everything in the visual. But deep shadow is part
of the creative story. I here in these forums often about getting the right exposure. A couple of weeks ago took my 10 year old granddaughter
on a 4 day cruise. Got her an Olympus tough/underwater camera. We worked on seeing. And she was better then me.
I took this photo in bright light end of the day and pulled it way down with compensation. Don't know why but I liked it.
