Texas State Capitol
by Dave Wilson on Feb.02, 2009, under Photography
I had some more time earlier today to wander around the State Capitol grounds and take some more pictures. Here’s a different version of a wide-angle view taken from the north-east corner of the complex. It’s a handheld, 3 exposure HDR merged in Photoshop then tone-mapped in Photomatix with the settings tweaked for a rather more dramatic effect than usual.

@Shelltex @CynLeitichSmith I make a point of always avoiding my spouse's velociraptors. I draw the line at pterodactyls, I'm afraid. -

@Cunningham_UK I have 60 inch prints from carefully resized 12MP images and they look fine. Mind you, the D800 w/36MP sounds nice! #TogChat -
