Very nice architectural shots of both buildings. I especially like #2 with the colours of the window light.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Hi Almazar80,

Thanks for sharing these. Very successful interior shots, ranging from modern to classical. I think you selected just the right amount of elements to be included in the shots to reveal the actual context of the structures' interirors in relation to their functions.

Preference for the 3. I like not quite knowing what I am looking at.

Thank you for the comments. The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception is the largest Catholic church in the United States. A beautiful place to visit if you're in the U.S. Here are some more pictures.

Nice, Almazar80.

The dome is especially holistic with such powerful depiction of Christ in the second shot.

Thanls for sharing,
