Fantastic shots, but I just gotta ask -- how did you manage not to get any people in them?
I took these on a Saturday afternoon, and even though the building was open for tours, there were only a couple dozen people moving throughout the building. A couple of the shots I had to wait for a pedestrian to clear the shot, but when most people saw me set up to shoot, they fled.

I drove down from St. Michael just to shoot the capital. Come on, you can do it!

Tripod = YES!!! Could not have done it without. Yep, I'm really happy with how they turned out, which is a bonus because I had a blast doing the actual shoot.
rustyjaw wrote in post #7297196These are beautifully done shots! However, I find the blue glare in the last one distracting.
Ahhhhh, that last one is tough. I really wanted that shot because it was one of the only ones that made for a nice landscape (due to the wide hallway and lower ceiling). I knew it was going to be a challenge so I shot it with six exposures as opposed to three like everything else. Even so, I could not get rid of those blown highlights. I need to work on it some more and I'm a rank amateur with PS so this may be my weekend project.
