It has that dimension in reality. I was totally in awe of the way all of these components came together, especially in light of the fact that the architect probably had this in mind in designing the structure.

Hi Armando,

Thanks for your nice comment.

It is an HDR image, but done with a Fuji GA645zi and 220 film. I made three exposures, one at meter indication, one at two stops under, and one at two stops over. This was on color negative film. I scanned the negatives and combined the files with the Merge to HDR option of Photoshop CS3 Extended.

The contrast range of this scene was huge, and this look could not have been achieved in color with either film or DSLR with one exposure. No filter of any type was used in exposing the negatives, except for a UV filter that I keep over the lens for protection.

The hardest part was to align the negatives since merge to HDR is incredibly picky about image size. I managed to do it but it was so complicated not sure I can repeat it.

Thanks Sandy,

The shot(s) is magnetic. It almost feels like the light is coming from the moon and not the sun. I'm not familiar with HDR but the picture is quite an invitation to explore it.
