The photo was on my “short list” of things I needed to photograph here in Seattle. I’ve gone a couple of times, but decided to wait until I had a super wide angle lens to take the shot. I finally got the Tokina 11-16mm for my Nikon D90 so I went down to the tunnel to try it out. The tricky part is getting the correct perspective. If you’re slightly off, the photo won’t work, especially with the vanishing points. I had to try a couple different aperture settings to get the result I was looking for as well. I then shot a few sets of bracketed images (-2, 0, +2) and then went home to post-process. My workflow is pretty standard. I tonemapped the bracketed shots using the Details Enhancer mode in Photomatix to pull out detail and color in the marbled floor and then made basic adjustments (levels, curves, and color) in Photoshop. The final step was to apply Noiseware noise reduction to the image. Pretty simple. Feel free to contact me via flickr if you have any questions.
Info about the shot: Nikon D90, Tokina 11-16mm @ 11mm, f11, ISO 100 - 3 bracketed shots (-2, 0, +2), Photomatix Details Enhancer. (HDR)
