Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord - in the village of Krasnoye, Staritsky District, Tver Region, Russia.
In the second half of the 18th century, M.F. Poltoratsky became the owner of the estate in the village of Krasnoye, Staritsky district, who decided to replace the old wooden church with a new one, copied from the famous Chesme church, built in 1777-1780 by order of Catherine II by architect Yu. M. Felten near Petersburg.
His first petition “to build a stone church with his own kosht” dates back to 1783. After a second petition, Bishop Ioasaph Zabolotsky signed the charter of the church on July 30, 1785.
The construction of the temple was carried out under the care and dependency of his wife for five years, and was completed in 1790.
Built in a pseudo-Gothic style, it is an almost exact copy of the Chesme Church in St. Petersburg, built 10 years earlier.
The height of the structure is 24 meters, length and width - about 20 meters.
In 1931, the Soviet authorities closed the temple. The bells were sent for melting down, the stone fence was dismantled and transported to Staritsa, to the city garden. The interior of the church was used for the needs of the local collective farm, destroyed and dilapidated.
In 1997, the restoration of the temple began.
Церковь Преображения Господня — в селе Красном Старицкого района Тверской области России.
Во второй половины XVIII века владельцем усадьбы в селе Красное Старицкого уезда стал М. Ф. Полторацкий, который решил взамен старой деревянной церкви построить новую, скопированную со знаменитой Чесменской церкви, сооружённой в 1777—1780 годах по повелению Екатерины II архитектором Ю. М. Фельтеном близ Петербурга.
Первое его ходатайство «построить каменную церковь собственным коштом» относится к 1783 году. После повторного прошения епископ Иоасаф Заболотский 30 июля 1785 года подписал храмоздательную грамоту.
Строительство храма осуществлялось попечением и иждивением его супруги на протяжении пяти лет, и было закончено в 1790 году.
Построен в псевдоготическом стиле, является почти точной копией Чесменской церкви в Санкт-Петербурге, построенной на 10 лет раньше.
Высота сооружения составляет 24 метра, длина и ширина — около 20 м.
В 1931 году советские власти закрыли храм. Колокола были отправлены на переплавку, каменная ограда разобрана, перевезена в Старицу, в городской сад. Внутреннее помещение церкви использовалось для нужд местного колхоза, разрушалось и ветшало.
В 1997 году началось восстановление храма.

Stone temple in honor of the Savior Not Made by Hands (Savior Church) in the Sergino tract not far (0.5 km north) from the village of Fatyanovo. The temple is a courtyard of the Staritsky Holy Assumption Monastery (Staritsa, Tver Region)
In 1914 in the village. Sergino had two temples - wooden and stone. The wooden temple in the name of the Savior Not Made by Hands was built in 1766, with one chapel - in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The builder of the temple is a local landowner Alexei Petrovich Izmailov. The wooden bell tower was brought from the town of Staritsa from the church of Simeon the Stylite back in 1867. The stone church had the same name - in the name of the Savior Not Made by Hands and was built in 1897. The church had two chapels: the right one - in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the left one - the Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God. The iconostasis was painted by the artist Shishkin.
The church was a double-height quadrangle crowned with five domes, with a refectory and a hipped bell tower.
During the Soviet period, the Church of the Savior was closed and devastated, the altar part and the refectory were destroyed.
Currently, the church is not functioning, it needs to be restored.
Каменный храм в честь Спаса Нерукотворного Образа (Спасская церковь) в урочище Сергино недалеко (0,5 км к северу) от деревни Фатьяново. Храм явяляется подворьем Старицкого Свято-Успенского мужского монастыря (г. Старица, Тверская область)
В 1914 г. в с. Сергино было два храма - деревянный и каменный. Деревянный храм во имя Спаса Нерукотворного построен в 1766 г., с одним приделом - во имя Николая Чудотворца. Строитель храма - местный помещик Алексей Петрович Измайлов. Деревянная колокольня была привезена из г. Старицы от церкви Симеона Столпника еще в 1867 г. Каменный храм носил такое же название - во имя Спаса Нерукотворного и был построен 1897 г. Церковь имела два придела: правый - во имя Николая Чудотворца и левый - Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы. Живопись иконостаса выполнил художник Шишкин.
Церковь представляла собой двухсветный четверик, увенчанный пятью главами, с трапезной и шатровой колокольней.
В советский период Спасская церковь была закрыта и разорена, разрушены алтарная часть и трапезная.
В настоящее время церковь не действует, требует восстановления.
From my first test film with the Seagull 4A TLR.
I used this negative to try out a few new-to-me papers. None of them responded satisfactory so I ended up going with Fomaspeed again because I know what it looks like ;)
I recently ordered some new chemistry I'm excited to try out, I just thought that this negative wasn't so well suited for that. Matter of fact, I think this negative might work really well as a "boring regular" print on contrasty paper. I might have a try at that too.

Tried some Fomaspeed Variant 313 with lith developer yesterday evening. The results really excited me: a nice slight sepia tone, lots of heavy grain and strong blacks. The paper has a nice finish too. It's fairly cheap and looks great in regular developer as well. Over all, very happy with it!

The New Jerusalem Monastery was founded in 1656 in Moscow by Patriarch Nikon. According to his plan, the monastery was to become the center of the Orthodox world. Topography, toponymy, church buildings of the monastery and the surrounding territory, stretching for several tens of kilometers, created the image of the Holy Land and reproduced the main Christian shrines of Palestine. On a hill in the center of this territory, which was called Zion, a monastery was founded - a peculiar city-temple. Some buildings of the monastery complex repeat the outlines of the buildings of the Holy Land, and the main cathedral of the monastery, consecrated in 1685, is built in the likeness of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. In the cathedral, the sacred similarities of Mount Golgotha, the caves of the Holy Sepulcher, the place of the three-day burial and the Life-giving Resurrection of the Savior are reproduced. The towers also have symbolic names: the Wojido Jerusalem, Gethsemane, etc. The hills surrounding the monastery were called the Mount of Olives, Favorsky, etc., villages - Preobrazhensky, Nazareth, Capernaum. On the land of Russian Palestine, a fast, tortuous river flows Istria, which received the name of the Jordan; The creek that flows around the monastery hill is the Kidron stream. Now a significant part of the territory is occupied by the city of Istra, which until 1930 was called Voskresensk.
Beginning to deteriorate even after the closure, the monastery suffered greatly during the Great Patriotic War. During the three-week German occupation in 1941, the museum was looted. When the fascist troops retreated, the monastery was blown up, the tower and bell tower of the monastery were destroyed, and the cathedral was significantly damaged.
Restoration and restoration work in the monastery began in 1947; especially intensively they were conducted in 1960-80s.
On March 6, 2009, the President of the Russian Federation D.A. Medvedev signed a decree "On measures to recreate the historical appearance of the Resurrection New Jerusalem Jerusalem Stauropegic Monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church."
Full-scale restoration activities were started in December 2011. The restoration of the Resurrection Cathedral was completed in 2015.
By 2014, near Voskresensky Cathedral, the bell tower destroyed in 1941 by German troops was restored and new bells were installed.
Restoration of the monastery, which represents the only successful attempt to recreate the image of the Holy Land, cost 10 billion rubles, of which almost 1 billion 300 million were national donations. By the end of 2016, the restoration work in the monastery was completed.

This shot was taken on a bridge, one I must've walked hundreds of times already. Everytime I thought to myself "wow, I must take a photo here at some point" and yesterday was the day.
I like how this shot feels. To me, it just works. Couldn't tell you why. It looks a bit like a portal into an old world. The negative must have popped a little in the enlarger while making the exposure, I believe. There is some unsharpness in the print where there isn't any on the negative itself. A shame but I only noticed it once I had cleaned everything up in the darkroom so I guess I'll have to live with it now (or recreate it at some point).
There was a lot of dodging and burning involved here. I rarely make dodge/burn maps but for this print I made one. Again, lots of adjustments.

Once it was located on the Staritsa Torgovaya Square and, together with the many shopping arcades of the Gostiny Dvor, echoed the ensemble of the Assumption Monastery, located on the other side of the Volga. The townspeople often call the complex a nunnery. However, this is not a monastery, this is a magnificent ensemble of the temple, built in the XVIII-XIX centuries. And even today, despite the deplorable state, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin is one of the sights and visiting cards of the city.
In 1728, by order of the Archbishop of Tver Theophylact, instead of the wooden church of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, the construction of a stone church of the Nativity of the Virgin with a chapel dedicated to the ancient temple began. The Pyatnitsky chapel was consecrated in 1740, and the consecration of the main altar took place only 10 years later, in 1750, under priest Vasily Alekseev. Later, two chapels in the form of rotundas in the style of late classicism were added to the white-stone baroque church with a low bell tower on the north and south sides. The chapel in the name of Nil Stolbensky was built in 1806, the Holy Martyr Paraskeva Pyatnitsa - in 1825.
The complex, but strictly ordered composition of the ensemble of the Bogoroditskaya Church from the east was supplemented by a white-stone colonnade with two chapels and stairs descending from the rotundas to the banks of the Volga. Many domes - different in shape and located at different levels - make the picturesque appearance of the temple very intimate and cozy.
The Klirov Statement of the Staritsa district of 1828 indicates that the stone Church of the Nativity with the aisles of the Great Martyr Paraskeva (not yet consecrated) and the Monk Nil the Wonderworker (consecrated) was built in 1784. There was no arable and hay land at the church, in 115 parish yards (in Staritsa and the villages of Fedurnov and Konkovskaya Sloboda) there were 315 male and 385 female souls. The following served in the church at that time: priest Kosmin Vasily (32 years old, a priest since 1821), deacon Ivanov Ilia (55 years old, deacon since 1793), deacon Feodorov Peter (25 years old, a deacon in the Staritskaya Mother of God-Nativity Church since 1825), sexton Mikhail Kirillov (68 years old, sexton since 1784).
According to the data for 1901, the Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God in Staritsa, built in 1784, had three thrones: the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Nil Stolobensky (in warm), the martyr Paraskeva Pyatnitsa (in cold). The following people served in the church: the priest Mikhail Antonovich Kazansky (41 years old, a priest since 1883), the psalmist Borisoglebsky Petr Ivanovich (28 years old, a psalmist since 1899). Parishioners in Staritsa and in the villages: Novo-Starkovo, Konkovskaya Sloboda, Fedurnov - 159 households (1,006 people - 457 men and 549 women). Under the altar of the church in 1791 a stone chapel was built in honor of the Nativity of the Virgin.
In 1914 they served: the priest of Kazan Mikhail (53 years old), the psalmist Smirnov John (46 years old). Parishioners in the town of Staritsa and the villages of Starkovo, Fedurkovo, Konkovo - 998 people (481 men, 517 women).
In the 1970s The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin was restored, but by the beginning of the 2000s. it was again in need of restoration.
The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary belongs to the type of church "octagon on a quadrangle" characteristic of the 18th century. The temple is single-domed with a heavy semicircular apse adjacent to it from the east. The corners of the quadrangle are decorated with spatulas, the windows - with baroque architraves with kokoshniks. The bell tower adjoining the temple from the west is completed with a high spire. Like a wreath, the temple is surrounded by a ring of buildings of different times. Particularly interesting is the aisle temple, built in 1825 in the style of late classicism and representing a rotunda, decorated with pediments from the facades with a shallow loggia in the risalit. The dome crowning the temple is surrounded by gently sloping cupolas.
Of the other structures of the temple complex, a chapel, two elegant towers topped with a dome with a spire, a clergy house and a solemn colonnade, which is a gallery with paired columns of the Tuscan order, uniting all the buildings into a single ensemble, have survived to this day. Rotunda towers were once used as shops.
Buildings, in the decoration of which local white stone is widely used, form a very picturesque group. The authors of the complex extremely organically combined into a single whole buildings of different times, the decor of which combines motifs of late classicism and baroque.
Experimented quite a bit with infrared lately. Had the chance to acquire a lot of expired Rollei Infrared 400 in 120 roll format. Despite a slightly elevated base fog, the film is still absolutely useable. Sadly, this film has an anti-halo layer so no strong glow effect here. Maybe a diffusion filter could fix that.
