The fact that you can see anything in this photo is a testament to the power of Lightroom. The lighting inside St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome is rather on the dim side, and you aren’t allowed to use flash; as a result, the structure in the foreground is still basically invisible. But that’s okay, because the real attraction here, at least for me, is the gorgeous dome and the gold background on the inscriptions.
