Ver nice ones Teo (and I especially like that you respected that sacred place + praying Christians by not using disturbing flash, what so many do)!

Very steady hand! And some terrific results with that Vivitar, really an underrated lens.

Thank you , Klaus !
Laughing can't even comment about using flash in such places ! how to capture the atmosphere of such splendid masterpieces of architecture with a flash? Not speaking ,about disturbing the prayers , indeed , as you already emphasised.
In high season it is a little difficult to photograph these places ,because of the tourists Smile I fully understand the locals , when they are maybe a little disturbed !

Thank you Orio , really a good underrated lens. I understand that it is made by Tokina . I had to choose what lens to take with me in this trip ,the viv 17 or the Flek 20/2.8 .I took the vivitar because it is sharper at 5.6 . I knew that I won't have the chance to shoot indoor on tripod stopped down, so I'll be forced to use wide apertures handheld.
The ISO 3200 is remarcable for me , keeping a good balance between detail and noise .these images are a little processed in LR exposure + , sharpness,noise reduction (mainly luminance nr).
About the steady hand , I developped ,when I got the NEX a technique of shooting from waist level as with the Rolleiflex , with the LCD flipped up .This helps a lot to stabilise the camera .
