Architecture at twilight

This is the stunning 13th century cathedral in Burgos, Spain. I used a 16-35mm wide angle lens, and the camera settings were 1/80, f/3.5, and 2000 ISO. The high ISO tells you I didn't use a tripod. I'm trying to keep the weight of my equipment as low as possible due to lower back issues, so that means I rely on Topaz DeNoise AI a lot to mitigate noise. Years ago, we would never consider shooting with 2000 ISO; now it's really no big deal. Twilight is the best time to photograph architecture and city scapes because the colors look so good.

Skip Kask - Jim: I didn’t realize that you could get that much depth of field using f3.5.
