Sway

Late afternoon, and the pendulum is swinging gently.

Late Sun Through Stained Glass

It was all I could do to cross the street in the cold & wind to bring you this image from the National Cathedral. You're welcome.

[UPDATE]

I purchased Photomatix Pro and have started fooling around with using HDR processing for exposure-bracketed shots. All these images were foolhardily hand-held (no tripod for me, I'm a rebel,man!).

For comparison purposes, here's an "exposure fusion" version of the Stained Glass image.



And now here's a "tone-mapped" version.



And a special bonus for you lovely people: a tone-mapped version of the National Cathedral nave, given a rather more "painterly" treatment.



I'd be interested in your thoughts… any preferences among these images? Please comment!

The experiments begin…

Okay folks, would you like to see a silk shawl that looked something like this?

House of Knowledge

The Library of Congress gives me a warm, fuzzy, proud 'n' patriotic feeling.
