[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken in the same location as this shot, though at a different time.

I organized a local photo group and contacted that theatre to arrange a shoot inside. I was overjoyed when they granted us complete, unfettered access to the building after hours one night.

This building is in a constant, yet varied, state of renovation. It is run by a local non-profit organization, so funds are tight. Even though it may be a distraction to theatre-goers, it's a treasure-trove for photographers. I love the 1920s architecture combine with the weathering. So many details, I couldn't shoot everything I wanted.

See skotsshots.com for more photos from this shoot.

As with all of my architectural shots, I used a tripod and remote release to eliminate any camera-shake.

This particular shot is a very light HDR. I only used it to tone down the lights. In the "optimal exposure" the lights were blown-out and distracting, so I shot another frame with -2 EV and merged the two. Other than that, this is straight out of the camera.

I hope you like it, but please critique honestly, I can take the criticism.

I love the juxtaposition between the worn textured BG and the shiny smooth chandelier. Do you have another shot that shows more of the scene (not so tight on the subj.)?

This is cool Skot! I love old stuff, textures, buildings etc. This has a nice patina to it. You managed the light real well here. Nice to place the lights off center, the curve is real nice here! HDR is fun isn't it?
