Love the museums in London. Below is a HDR taken by balancing the camera on some stair railings. For this type of shot a wide angel lens would have been great. In any case here is my effort with a 24-70 (Nikon f/2.8) on a cropped sensor body (Nikon D90).

I eventually got around to editing a HDR Panoramic version of the National Centre for the Performing Arts. What a fantastic building!

Below is one of the images taken of the “egg” in Beijing. Also known as the National Centre for the Performing Arts, or the Opera House.  The Centre, is a dome of titanium and glass surrounded by an artificial lake. The building seats 5,452 people in three halls and is almost 12,000 m² in size, I was really surprised on how big the building is. Shooting on a cropped sensor with a 24-70 you can’t actually get the entire building in a single frame. I ended up shooting a bunch of images to stitch together, which I will do when I get some time. Below is a HDR of 3 images taken at 2 stops apart.

I have started slowly processing some images from our recent holiday, which now feels like it was ages ago (thanks to work!).The image below is taken along the Riviera Santa Maria Elisabetta. The building with the green dome is called Parrocchia Santa Maria Elisabetta, which is a Catholic church.
