I pass by the Great Cathedral Mosque every day (my office is a 10-minute walk away). I see the Trinity Chapel (it was built in memory of the Trinity Church that once stood here and was destroyed during the Bolshevik era) less often, but I stop every time to stroke its beauty with my admiring gaze. However, until now, believe it or not, I have not had a single beautiful photo of it - I did not see the right angle. And then a week ago, it finally happened. Standing on the bridge, a kilometer from the chapel and even further from the mosque - I combined both buildings on one straight line ... and got probably the best shot of the day! (Of course, I took several takes ... but they were not fundamentally different from each other).

Я хожу мимо Большой Соборной Мечети каждый день (мой офис расположен в 10 минутах ходьбы от нее). Троицкую Часовню (она построена в память о бывшем здесь при царизме и разрушенном в большевистское время Троицком храме) я вижу реже, но всякий раз останавливаюсь, чтобы охватить ее красоту моим восхищенным взглядом. Однако до сих пор, поверите вы или нет, у меня не было ни одной ее достойной фотографии - я не видел правильного ракурса. А теперь есть! Неделю назад, стоя на мосту в километре от часовни и еще дальше от мечети - я совместил оба здания на одной прямой... и получил наверное лучший кадр дня! (Конечно, я сделал несколько дублей... но они не отличались друг от друга принципиально).

Exactly what I said. finding right angle, arriving at best spot in right time of day - is a key to getting great shots.
