Thanks. After trying several different arrangements of artificial lighting, all of which were too contrasty, I noticed that the softer light coming through the window gave the best results. Much longer exposures, but overall better look.

Ken,Love the lighting - single main?
Ocean, ave not seen aerospace photography posted in a long spell, most excellent.
Colin, excellent gritty IR photographs, it sure is different.
Cathedral of Granada:
Commissioned by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, construction began in 1508 and completed 180 years later. It is massive structure and the second largest Cathedral in Spain. The tombs of both monarchs are here but the Royal Chapel was not open for some reason.
Not much room to maneuver, something wider would have been better but the 16/3.5 would have rearranged the design.
28mm f/2.8 AIs
Main Chapel:
16mm f/3.5 AI
Main altarpiece, I believe the amazing work is carved from silver.
I tried a 12-image stack, but it had way too many artifacts to clean up. I even see a few that I missed here. Actually, I think the shallower depth of field works better anyway.
Absolutely outstanding Ken, thanks for posting it.
I have three 5.8cm 1.4, one is a Frankenstein of replaced lens elements from junk lenses, the other is a clean well used one, and the last one is like new in all respects.
The like new one came out of the case to go to Cruising Grand, it was corvette day. I was very pleased with the lens rendition at night.

Rafael, clone those people out of the background and that should be a Corvette ad. Stunner of a shot and great rendition.
Getting back to reality, looking forward to catching up. Playing with some stacks from the trip, 28-50mm f/3.5.
Very evocative fallen tree Matt, in the ocean and still semi intact, life lost. Great B&W.
I have many Vette shots from that night, here is one driving on the road, this one ended in a little tragedy too. Traffic was moving very slow, when the driver of the vette saw me taking a photo - he must have know it was a manual focus lens - he stopped, the driver behind him in the truck did not with the ensuing gentle collision. But there is not gentle collision with classics, many tears were shed but no doubt it will be fixed. (needless to say, I vanished)
