Hallelujah!

Handel's Messiah was performed at my church this evening, an annual tradition at this time of the year. The choir and soloists sang beautifully, the orchestra were wonderful and I bet I was not the only person in the audience who went home singing the Hallelujah Chorus, it is an infectious tune!
It is a challenge to photograph the choir in their black and white outfits, the brightest spotlights shine down on the heads of the men with the expanse of white shirtfront, so if I had exposed for them then the ladies dresses would not have shown up, just an expanse of black blobs. Oh well, what is life without a challenge or two!!?

Very nice capture. The church looks like brightly lit enough for this shot.
