Hi Jerry,

Great light and composition on the exterior shot.

I see you changed cameras for the interior shot though

I am also beginining this 'dual camera' approach myself recently; there's a time and a place where a fast wide angle, small sensor, camera wins hands down over a DSLR (and what you'd need to do to get this good a shot with one)

On the second - I would suggest a wipe around the ceiling lights to remove the bloom with a suitably sized (desaturation) sponge tool, you can (with practice) do this lot in about 2 minutes once you have a routine. It'll make it look a lot better.

I have to say that, H&S issues aside, I might also clone out the three red cones

Cheers,
