I took this shot at the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park, NY with my zenitar fish eye lens. I ran 3 exposures through and played around with the tone mapping.

Looks cool! Wish the building had a wee bit more breathing room in the frame though (especially on the sides).

Great shot, love how you processed it. Here's one I did of the Vanderbilt Mansion aka The Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina. Must be nice to have had so many mansions strewn around the country.

There are always too many people around the place to get a clean shot. Did a three shot exposure and processed it in HDR.

The top and bottom crop looks great to me...but if you can allow both sides of the building (columns and plinth) to fully resolve to the ground (rather than getting clipped them) it would be better. I like it though! :) The fisheye makes the otherwise boringly symmetrical view exciting/interesting.

Sounds good I'll give it a try. Not bad for a bargain lens!
