Would it be okay to take a photo in an adoration chapel? The chapel is often empty - the monstrance is seen by the enclosed nuns on the other side, and we see the back usually. It’s a pretty chapel and I’d like to take a photo when no one else is there. Thanks for any answers.
 
I don’t see why not. I personally hate when people take pictures during mass, as I’ve seen in European cathedrals. The Russian Orthodox have a rule against such tourist impiety (or so I was told when visiting churches in Russia). I think we could use such a rule in the Latin Church. But when no one else is around, why not?
 
I see no harm but as a matter of courtesy ask the rector of the church or the nuns if it is their church.
