Hello Geof,
Certainly a very beautiful church and you have captured it well despite the difficult light conditions that you always find in church. Good point of view with excellent colours and clarity. The blurred people add a certain air of mystery.

Hello, Geof.

Could this be Sao Bento Church? Again, just from a quick "Google" but the interior in the fuzzy pictures on the web doesn't look nearly as clear and ornate as in this wonderful photograph of yours. However, the web says that the church has lots of very famous and priceless paintings, so that would fit - I can see lots of old pictures on the walls here.

Picures taken indoors and particularly in dim churches, are very difficult to expose correctly but you have done a fine job here. The colours and the details are fabulous.

Incidentally, now I've been given a very nice wide-angle zoom for my Christmas, I'm very keen to try some nice indoor shots in places like this. Do you know what is the general feeling regarding taking pictures in churches here in U.K. and abroad?

Best Wishes,

John.

This seems to be a tricky photo taken at slow speed and large apperture. The DOF is perfect with great sharpness up to the far end window and texture is just great. Well done.

Hi Geof,
I always enjoyed interior shots though it is tricky to get a really good one. I am particularly impressed by all the artifacts in this church as we will never see one in our area. The sharpness have allowed me to see many details and I am doing a WS so that more can be seen and be appreciated. Well done!!

Regards and a nice day.
