Oppose The window is overexposed --The Photographer (talk) 12:29, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, agree that the window is slightly overexposed, but had no choice. My goal was to expose the interior properly and the only light source was the light coming from the window. HDR was not a possibility, because usage of tripod is not allowed in ASI protected monuments. The brightness around the window can possibly be selectively reduced, but since the over-exposure is not too intrusive, I would like to leave it as it is, in order to maintain the realistic feel of the photograph (i.e. the captured image tries to represent the reality of the then conditions as close as possible) --Dey.sandip (talk) 13:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- I've had similar problems in places where it is not allowed tripod. In these cases, I perform two photographs from the same place, one taking the brightness of the window and the other with the ambient brightness. Later, I created two layers in gimp overlap the window, erasing the overexposed layer, only the section of the window. e.g. Interior de la Basilica de la Chinita.jpg. There are always options, the only limitation is your imagination ;) --The Photographer (talk) 13:41, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- I don't deny that multiple exposures is not an option :) But then, it involves extensive post-processing and the whole thing gets into the domain of Digital Retouching. Okay, now there can be a lot of debate about the usage of softwares and to what extent it is acceptable. I'm not getting into that kind of discussion. Everyone has their own views on the subject, and its really upto the photographer. But my personal preference is only to do minimal post processing and minor corrections and use as less softwares as possible. This is the best that I could achieve in this photo, but I appreciate your views on the photograph :) --Dey.sandip (talk) 14:49, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support Very interesting. I like it despite the overexposed window part, and the suboptimal shooting conditions. Surprised there is not more noise considering the ISO. Surprised the DOF is so good considering the aperture.... --Slaunger (talk) 21:30, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Comment f8 at 18mm will give you a hyperfocal distance probable from 2-3 meters to infinity, so if focused appropriately, as here, there should be n DOF issues... --Tomascastelazo (talk) 22:30, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose overexposed window and right side tomb is cutoff --Cj.samson (talk) 15:36, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- Week support The lighting isn't ideal, but overall I really like this photo. Michael Barera (talk) 21:25, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination As it fails to excite the community :). Thanks to those who took their time to review. Appreciated --Dey.sandip (talk) 07:49, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
