This is another shot taken at Open House at the beautiful Atrium of One Finsbury Circus. This one was taken on the Sunday and looks up from the ground floor at the lifts. This is an Office Building which is old and listed on the outside and very modern and futuristic inside. A seriously cool building for photography. It is one of the more difficult buildings to get into. It is open both days but only for the morning with half hourly tours for 20 people so only 120 per day. Last year I missed out arriving too late. This year I made it my first visit and got in on the 11.00 tour.

The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 10mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing for HDR. Outputted in Photomatix using Fusion Natural preset for a more natural look. I brought in the 0EV layer using a layer and layer mask to get the most natural look to the sky. More detail was brought in using Topaz Clarity and noise reduced using Topaz DeNoise. I used Hue Saturation yellows to increase the warmth in the lower part. This increased green in some areas of the building so I used a layer mask to remove the adjustment in those areas.
