The three interior mausoleum shots were taken hand held at between 1/6s and 1/8s, to keep the ISO low and preserve colour and detail. I was very pleasantly surprised that it came out so well. That particular mausoleum has some acoustic tricks as well, words whispered inside amplify and can be heard outside. This is a trick that the Qutb Shahi rulers here had perfected - there is a magnificent fort built by them on a hillside, Golconda Fort, which is famed for its acoustic system, was designed so that a whisper at the domed main gate could be heard clearly at the main darbar hall several hundred metres away.
