Hi!

Some more Architecture / Indoor Low Light shots ...

Same problem as my previous post in not being fluid in the "tack" I take in shooting this type of environment ... will got out and give it another try today before the typhoon / hurricane that is coming begins to take its toll on the weather conditions ...

These shots are of two very famous churches in the Philippines ... located in Intramuros, which is located along the southern bank of the Pasig River, was built by the Spaniards in the 16th century and is the oldest district of the city of Manila ...

San Agustín Church is the oldest church in the Philippines (1587); photograph #10 in the gallery ... believe it or not, this church has marriage bookings on the hour ... one wedding after another ... waiting in line so to speak ...

Why so many churches ... the Philippines is an entrenched catholic society and to the extreme is many instances ... Holly Week in the Philippines is not for the faint hearted ;) ...
