That's a very attractive set Simon. I particularly enjoyed the shots inside the cathedral dome in St Peteresburg. The picture of the ship in the harbour at Helsinki rwminds me that when I was there in mid winter a few years ago that harbour was completely frozen over.

Very very nice set Simon. Really like quite a few if these (though a couple look a touch over-exposed to me but that may be a personal thing. Loved the church interiors and the very last shot.

David - there on Sunday 6th August, we visited Rostock too so may well have passed Prieni without knowing it I mainly used Live View and auto iso (max 6400) for interior shot and it worked extremely well, infact I've realised just how useful Live View can be as many shots were taken holding the camera over crowds of people as some of the cathedrals were quite busy. Contrast AF was very effective too, hardly missed a focus.
Paul - yes, I really like this one too but it really doesn't do the place justice - I wouldn't say I'm normally a mad architecture buff but I've never been anywhere and taken so many interior shots - the K5 is responsible for that too though, my previous K20D just wouldn't have coped with some of the lighting I had to deal with.
Frogfish - Last shot is taken with the DA 55-300 @ 300mm, I see what you mean about a couple looking overexposed (1 & 3 mainly to me) - both are ok in the RAW/Tiff so not sure why they look a tad brighter here:
Thanks
Simon
