Hello Carole:wave:

I like the image because of the warm colours and also the nice play with lines and shapes.

The different light sources create a bit of a problem but must have been a b**ch I'm sure!

Cannot see your Exif so cannot really comment on exposure times etc but cant help but wonder if hdr would not have worked here?:shrug: :thinking:

But again, really nice image, pity I suppose you couldn't have worked around the electric lights?

Where/what is this?

Anton

Thanks Anton.

It's inside the cathedral/mosque in Cordoba, southern Spain. Also known as the Mezquita. Hundreds of those electric lights everywhere, so they are unavoidable.

This was taken using the nifty fifty (50mm f1.8 lens), hand held, manual settings of 1/13s at f2.2 with ISO at 800.

"Save for web" strips out exif, but I don't know how else to save for posting.

This is a different angle, same place

This one again handheld, but this time using my 17-85mm lens with IS. 1/5 s at f4, ISO 800, focal length 17mm.

The IS makes a big difference.

1/13 sec?? You are rock steady - I could never do that:bonk:

With lots of patience you can fiddle in p/s to the point where you get to within the 160kb limit.

I know 'cause I only figured out the save for web thing VERY recently...:bonk:

If you resize the long way there is some software the folks have been talking about but I have not yet bothered downloading it.

Did you take any more inside there?

VERY NICE!!:bonk:

A little dark but the effect of the electric light is much less noticable here!

Great stuff!

I suppose flash was not allowed inside:shrug:

Flash is a strange one....some places allow it and others don't. This one did (if I remember correctly) but I prefer not to use it in old places......just me, but I can't help wondering if millions of tourists bright flashes can damage old paint etc.

PS: I leaned against one of the pillars to steady myself.
