About the Image(s)
This is based on a five shot bracket at one stop intervals around a base exposure of 4 sec. at F16 and iso 400 using Canon 1DX MK II and 16-35 F4 lens at 16 mm (metadata shows 17 for some odd reason). The initial blend was done using merge to HDR in Lightroom. The resulting image was tuned in Lightroom and sent to DxO Viewpoint 3 for perspective correction, brought back into LR and then sent to CC 2018 for finishing. The lighting in the ceiling from this angel was overly bright and required a fair amount of work to balance it back to the rest of the image. The lighting in the hall is crazy and the colors in the walls showed some of the many different types. At these shutter speeds, you know I had motion. I took the best image I had of the central table and swapped that in via masking after I worked the lighting to match the blended image. I know the cut off guy down in the lower left will bug some folks, but I decided to leave him. For those who didn’t make it to Pittsburgh, this is part of the University of Pittsburgh’s main campus.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

The perspective and table masking are excellent - kudos!
I would darken the top ceiling a tad because it is bright and keep my eye up there rather than the bottom third of the image which has a lot of interest.
The half man at the bottom does not bother me too much, but you could flip the right side and mask him out if you wanted   Posted: 01/13/2018 20:00:12
