One of our hotels had a game room
that seemed to be right out of the 1900’s. In this photo, I tried to capture the old bowling
alley. The bowling balls were
about 1/3rd the size of today’s bowling balls; the bowling pens were
about the same. The alley was well
worn and quite uneven. JD and I
bowled several games and I do not think either one of us were able to bowl even
a spare! Despite our dismal scores,
we had lots of fun!
The image is an HDR photo taken
with three frames at -1 EV, 0 EV and +1 EV. I used nik HDR Pro to combine the frames. I wanted the image to have a gritty,
aged look.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D4, 28-300mm f/3.5~5.6 at 120mm, ISO 200, f/22 at one,
two and four seconds on a tripod.
Post Processing:
Nik HDR Pro—applied filter.
I think HDR is the right treatment for this shot. It really helps bring out all the detail in the wood.
