The issue I am running into is that I am editing on a monitor that is closer to the raw resolution.  Zenfolio is only letting me share the resolution you see here as max.  I don't know if everybody here is at 1080p and below, or if they're 1440p-4k. At full resolution on the right monitor the detail is beyond nuts already. 

If anybody has a higher res monitor lemme know...I'll try to get the full
sized image on here.

I like the detail in the shelves. The floor looks brighter in the foreground where there was more light hitting it, but in the center it looks hazy, almost like a large smudge. Maybe the sunlight was creating a certain amount of glare or haze.

I think although the light fixture in the center is interesting, the composition might have been better with less ceiling showing; it seems to make for almost a distraction or overpowers the composition. I wonder if a slightly different vantage point or framing a little differently might have made a difference.

Give the dehaze a shot and see what you think

He used a  Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8G, its in the exif...(bottom right, blue camera icon?)

That D3s is still a lot of camera, me thinks....Nicely done.

Why so serious?

Found it in Lightroom.  Got rid of the light I liked but improved contrast sharpening a little.



I personally like it with the warmth of the light coming in, and I know I did a quick job on this, but just showing a general idea of thoughts.

P.S.  It's still sharp as hell on higher res monitors.  I appreciate the feedback though, i didn't even know about this feature.  Feel free to post your edit on here so I might see something I didn't see before. :)


Sharon, I appreciate your feedback too.  I would have liked the center the light fixture on the ceiling for more symmetry, but it's a bitch when you're shooting at 14mm on full frame hand held.  Plus this is a historic site, nobody is even allowed to touch that chair that has a square piece of wood under it.  Only Edison and Helen Keller(with permission) got to sit in that chair.  

A lot of the area is blocked off and you're only able to stand in a small space in the lab so I was limited. I have been let behind the area before but I didn't ask to do it this time.

You can find the Dehaze in ACR also. If an image is already processed then you an use ACR as a filter and use it that way as well.

So you could use it in layers with Smart Objects theoretically?



Thanks Richard Taylor! I try my best!

Appreciate the feedback. I do as well, but that haze filter is a nifty tool and it gives it a different feel.

I have a high resolution MacBook and that photo looks amazing.  Are you able to walk all over in there?  Or are you shooting over a roped off part?
