photoblog image Cultural Center of Bonheiden (2 of 2)

Cultural Center of Bonheiden (2 of 2)

The side view of the library in Bonheiden which should complete your architectural experience of watching this building. See the image of yesterday for the front view.


TECH-INFO: the same procedure as yesterday using one RAW file. I exposed for the highlights (getting the picture as bright as possible without clipping the high lights). Unfortunately the shadow side of the building was extremely dark. Using HDR tone mapping techniques I was able to bring back most of the details.
This image is far from technically perfect because there is noise and banding in the shadow areas, and lens flare in several places coming from the sun which was very slightly shining in the lens. Despites that I still enjoy the architecture of this building.

Awesome geometric design and patterns. Exceptional job capturing and composing this image.

Ouf! What a technique to obtain excellent result! I think this technique is a bit longer to use than classic HDR with many photo bracketing (automatically).
LightningPaul: This technique is excellent for medium range contrasts. In this case I've been pushing the RAW file data beyond the maximum, though the result is just acceptable to me. Maybe there are easier ways, but I like the result of this one. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
The reflection in the windows is fascinating. The building is certainly interesting.
LightningPaul: Indeed the usage of double glass is very visable. Thanks for your visit.

A huge amount of detail here Paul, and wonderful reflections too.
LightningPaul: Many thanks Ellie!
Very nice architectural shot, its geometry work for you, I like the mirroring windows.
LightningPaul: Many thanks! The building was very cool. I'm happy I was able to put this on the image.
