| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Yesterday, I was in Moscow Kremlin with my new client from Ireland. This month, in December, it is getting dark in Moscow pretty early, almost after 4 pm, and when we finished tour inside all Kremlin’s cathedrals it was already starting dark and I decided to make several pictures with my client nearby the fine example of Russian workmanship. because of I have not had tripod, I had to use flash (external) to highlight a little bit the huge cannon and several shots were pretty good, so that I decided to show you couple the best shots.
The first photo I have already uploaded on TrekEarth with the name "Tsar Cannon & Small Boy" and here you can see the second picture which I also like. here I have got, I think, interesting effect when I was able to highlight by external flash just the old cannon, without balls and carriage which were cast 150 years later in St. Petersburg as decoration for the Tsar Cannon. The cannon looks very powerful on this photo, especially it impress by its diameter here and highlighted surface. Behind the cannon you can see the main and oldest church inside the Moscow Kremlin - Assumption Cathedral which was built at the end of 15th century.
The Tsar Cannon Details:
Year of Cast: 1586
Foundry Man : Andrei Chokhov
Main Purpose: Defend the Kremlin's Savior Gate
Material: Bronze
Lenght: 5.34 meters
Diameter: 890 mm
Weight: 40 tonns
Hope that you like these two pictures and looking forward to hearing your opinions about it.
With BEST Regards,

Hey Arthur, looks like the cannon is coming straight from the Cathedral - BOOM! I like how it is highlighted like this, and the flash shows up its detailed patterns.
And the Cathedral itself is another excellent show of Russia's architecture. It looks a very big building as we can many more of the beautiful onion shaped towers. Well captured, TFS my friend.

A теперь привет и в ТЛ!
Твой Царь-пушка помог мне найти тебя и на этом форуме... Буду следить за твоими фотосами потому что не так много слышим и видим о России в наши дни...
Щастливо!
