While this might not be the most fascinating subject, this shows how realistic exposure blending can make a huge dynamic range subject look natural.

This was about 16-18 stops or more (took 6 brackets to get a decent result) - the roof area was invisible to the naked eye and the floor was so bright you could not see anything due to the spotlights. Wires were not clear and the text on the lights not readable.

Think it came out ok. Processed with Oloneo for anyone interested.

Looks like it belongs in a Rosco catalog.

Very clean and very well done. What's the performance space below?
Theater or Broadcast Studio?

Thank you Jay.

It was part of a new University building that teaches film and theatre studies. This was one of the theatres. Each theatre had a different rig so they could teach students all the skills needed.

They also had a film studio but it was not fully fitted out and no lighting working so we could only shoot a corner

Great looking image. You did a great job blending. When you wrote you did 6 brackets, did you mean 6 sets of bracketed exposures or 6 exposures in a single bracketed set?

Very nicely rendered. Rob Shakespeare (external link) would be impressed.

Apologies my poor explanation :) Looking in Lightroom, I took 9 shots in the bracketed exposure sequence and used 6 for the blend.

Great job blending. Was it a lot of work?

Whoever is the electrical contractor for this new building should license these from you...

Hi Jon,

The base blend by the Oloneo s/w was actually excellent. It only required about 10 mins manual tweaking. I spent longer fettling a shot of the interior entrance.
