This is the interior of the Lello Bookstore in Porto, Portugal. It has become an incredible tourist attraction. My first experience there was alone, and I had an entire hour to photograph it without distraction or other people. This morning, there were probably 200 people in line behind me and my photo tour group (we arrived an hour and 15 minutes before opening to be at the head of the line), and the line persisted pretty much all day. This bookstore is now making a forture without selling books! What really drives me crazy is that 99% of these people just want selfies in front of it. My group had just a couple of minutes of decent photography before the onslaught crowded the interior and made any kind of decent photography impossible. For this image, I used a 14mm. My settings were 1/100, f/5.6, and 12,800 ISO. Since I'd shot this in the past, I looked for compositions and angles that I'd overlooked in the past.
