Beautiful shot, Chris. The ceiling looks illuminated by something stronger that those chandelier lights.

Wow. What a place. I love the stylised bird with lightning bolts on the ceiling.

Chris, that is really good. The leading lines and composition are great.
I have taken a very strong liking to the results I have seen from the Fuji 10-24 lens. Damn you temptation.

Gorgeous shot Chris. Love the colours and the geometry has held up well (or been corrected perfectly). I'm intrigued by those statues.

6400 iso is that all 
next you'll say it was hand-held
perfection Chris.

thanks Brian - there's a window behind me which is casting some light into the space, and the font itself seems to focus a glow vertically upwards to the plasterwork on the ceiling rose

Thanks Rob - quite amazing work - probably the highest quality the combined Spanish/locals came up with in al of the missions that were built.

Thanks Milan - the lens is not one I use a great deal, but does field great results. It's a good walk around lens for being a tourist in historical buildings - nice wide to super wide zoom range.

Thanks Pete - straight out of camera for geometry on this one, thanks to the built-in level, otherwise I'd be all slanted!
I have some statue shots - I'll see if any of them came out

LOL Thanks Julian - I used NIK Define to reduce the noise from the 6400ISO, and can only attribute the sharpness of the image to the excellent image stabilization on the 10-24mm lens. It really is a remarkable technology, and one I'd avoided on the Canon L lenses I own - so the Fuji lenses are my first introduction to it. IS does eat batteries though I notice.6400 iso is that all

IS now is amazing, from some manufacturers. Just boggles me how it's implemented and how it works, but that's easy as I still belive there are little people in the television.

I once had a landlord - a few decades ago - who made me switch the colour off on his TV, as he believed there was a small match-box-sized tank of colour, like printer ink, inside the TV, and he didn't want me to use it up when he wasn't watching it.
Which may go some way to explaining why I do so much photography in black and white...

My granddad was the first person in his street with a TV, and he told a story of a neighbor coming over, and asking if there was a candle inside to light the screen - interesting times! 
Now I'm older I realize I got my genetic requirement for gadgets from my granddad
