Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Multiple exposures, to expose for the darker bits and the lighter bits, a wider range than bracketing

That's just what Liz (my partner) said not 5 minutes ago.

For me it was a technical achievement - 3 exposures at very different shutter speeds - you can see indoors and the lights aren't blown on the outside.

I echo Peter's thoughts, the exposure blend is cool, but there is just too much going on in the shot..

Good shot technically. I agree with the comments that this is too busy. Is the colour right? Looks a little too brown/red on my work monitor. Cheers, Mick

White balance set at flourescent and it still comes out like this. It is all dark wood and red brick pavement. the whites are white and blues are true :D - i did try playing with the WB afterwards but it is correct.

For my exposure guide for the multiple exposures it went something like this -

At f8 ISO 100 the exposure meter said 2s. So I think i did one at 6s to get the interior detail, one at 2s and and the last at 2/3s, with the longest first (the intention being the next shots overlay and cool down any blown highlights).

2s f/8.0 at 44.0mm iso100 is the EXIF

All I have to do now is find a good subject d'oh!

thanks!. im going to give this a shot once i find a decent subject.

i can also back u up with the colour, everything there is wood and red pavers. very hard to get any other colour than the reddy brown that dominates the picture.

i went there not long ago and got the same colouring for that area.
