Glory On High - The Great Dome The Queen Victoria Building - The HDR Experience by 


BEST VIEWED LARGER

A little experiment using panoramic techniques

.One of my most popular images is this staircase, it is in the Queen Victoria Building , one of the treasures of Sydney. recently the has been a large amount of restoration work been carried out so I decided to do a return visit to checkout the new paintwork.

The dominant feature is the central dome, consisting of an interior glass dome and a copper-sheathed exterior, topped by a domed cupola. Smaller domes of various sizes are on the roofline, including a pair overtopping each end of the rectangular building.

Equipment : Nikon D300 , Sigma 10-20mm lens, shot handheld.

Technique: HDR 5 Bracketted exposures, tonemapped in Photomatix , small adjustment in Capture NX

    What a magnificent image. Breathtaking! Wow. Is that the staircase on the left?!

    Really great. I could see this as a stamp for Australia.

  • yes there is a vertigo inducing spiral stair case that rises to the dome
