My photo workshop participants and I had a fantastic photo session on Monday in a 16th century palace. With the help of my friend Robin Yong, I brought in six models to pose in various places in this awesome environment. The mixture of daylight coming in through huge windows and incandescent light added to the beauty and elegance of the images. This photo shows the classic staircase with three matching stunning costumes. I used a vertical composition to include the remarkable painted ceiling. My settings were 1/60, f/4, 1600 ISO, and I used the new Canon 16-35mm III wide angle zoom. My shooting position was dead center on the staircase to underscore the symmetry and balance of the shot.

Bob - Beautiful! I note you use F4. Is this a single shot? Where was the focal point and how did you achieve DOF.

Jim - Hi Bob, Thank you for the compliment. I focused on the front model, and the depth of field came from the use of the wide angle -- 16mm. Yes, it is one shot.
