Majestic images.  The lighting captured in #2 and #3 are marvelous!

Wonderful detail and tones in these Luc.

Do the silent shooting options on the Z6 offer advantages in places like churches?

Beautiful details, colours and tones indeed.  The 24-70 looks wider in the first shot.

Peculiar way of mosaics with a native look by the way.

Thanks all for watching, and commenting. Although it may not show in the images the shooting conditions were very difficult. Imagine hundreds of people in the church, the majority taking pictures and selfies with their cell phone. I had to balance listening to the guide, not tripping across other people, looking, admiring and shooting photographs which was difficult as I was with a group and the pace of moving along the church is fast so not much time for elaborate composing. Anyway, I do like the Z6 :)

A few more.
