Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It all depends up how much control you have of the venue!.

1!. If you have control of the interior lighting, make sure the interior lights facing the camera are on!.

2!. Take an exposure reading for shutter speed of the interior (remember you are using f22- for some reason unclear to me as you should have plenty depth of field at the focusing distance without stopping the lens down to that extreme even with tilt), then over expose one stop to make the interior brighter than the exterior!.

3!. Hopefully you will be shooting during early morning or late afternoon (sunrise/sunset) with the available light falling on the building facing the camera!. By doing this, you will be able to get a good definition of sky color and exposure of the building!.

4!. Bracket exposure (-2,-1, normal, +1, +2) for all the above conditions!.

5!. Use some framing object (tree branch, overhang, etc!.) to give framing to your picture!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
