Sigma sd Quattro, a slate blackboard...

 
The second site, in the same Norman-Arabic route, recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage of Humanity, is the Palatine Chapel in the Royal Palace in Palermo, universally regarded as one of the most beautiful existing churches in the world.
Restored in 2008 thanks to the German patron Wurth, with restorers belonging our best restoration schools, a monument that already it just pushes you to visit Palermo.
 
It characterized by a huge amount of Byzantine mosaics that realize a golden inlay of extraordinary beauty as the immense Christ Pantocrator of the main nave.

The heavy shadows are mitigated by the incredible light reflection of the millions of cards used by the mosaicists
and any glimpse of you facing, we will find faces faces and gestures


which seem directed to us ...  from top to the bottom of our earthly condition.
 
The exstraordinary capacity of the file management of this Sigma sdQuattro, seems the natural solution to near observe ... into your computer and then, on the prints, which only Arab artists and, much later, the restorers, had the privilege to observe in detail and in the most fine figures from which this masterpiece of Chapel is made.

 
Foveon sensor superiority is manifested in the compared shooting with the same lens Sigma 50/1.4 Art, mounted on my Nikon D810 (on which of course it works with 50mm field of view, due to differences I wanted to leave untouched)

For obvious reasons, these images all were made freehand with average ISO (400ISO around) and often with shutter speeds at risk of being moved, at distances never less than tens of meters, an indication that not only to short distances maf and easy lights, this Foveon of sd4 may provide ideal results.
Somehow self-injurious comparison, bearing in mind that the D810 remains and sdQuattro ... will go away!  
But convincing, considering indisputable quality of the best Nikon sensor (D810) today on trade.
