Five shots form my latest trip to the north. My aim was the famous palace of sintra, but the fog was heavy and I could not see the palace.

All taken at f8.
ISO200 1/50

ISO200 1/160

ISO200 1/80

ISO200 1/50

ISO 200 1/125


edit: added ISO & shutter speed

Thanks Attila, the mood was almost there.

Some close ups on the large gallery.
The lens is from ebay, won a 48 hour auction, no one put a bid on it, start price was 750 euros, which is fine - at least I think. I could'nt resist, always wanted this 15.
But please, don't tell my wife. Embarassed

Thank you, I will keep that in mind, but it might take a while Smile

@aussisnapper
ISO was 200, shutter speed 1/125 - handheld which is not a sin with 15mm - I hope Smile
I will add the shutter speed to the images.
