Old Classroom

One of my dear friends, and photography mentor (without his knowledge :-D ), asked me why my photography blog has come to a standstill. Well, I have been blogging a lot lately but not on this blog you see.

So, let me start with a fresh batch of posts and as my first entry, I would like to treat you to a stunning HDR panorama taken at the Cobblestone museum. My aim was to give the photo an old feel without being too aggressive. You may like to know that it took 21 photos stiched together to make this image.

In the end I really felt it worth all the effort. I love the colors and warmth of the wood and the green of the "black board" on the read wall just helps with the overall tone and mood of the photo. Lighting was a challenge, and as you may know I am not too much of a fan of shooting with a flash. I rather prefer working with the light that is available. So, I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I do! (click to enlarge)
