    Believe it or not just one shot wtih a touch of shadow/highlight. (10,10,20,0,0,0). The shadows were getting long so the tropical outside light wasn't so bright that it blew the window.

    I went to an old mill in Virginia over Christmas. The sites were better then my photo eye. I shot many but this is the only one I liked. We did use some of the rest to figure the Hp that the wheel produced.

    been meaning to comment on this photo for a couple days now.

    lovely exposure, really nice range in here. i like the room, and the window, with the highlight in the corner.

    thanks for sharing

    Very nice shot rutt! The exposure is wonderful and you've managed to
    capture the window scene as well.

    Did you meter using multiple points?

    Thanks,

    Not really, but I did some bracketting and was very aware of what i was doing -- trying to not to blow the window or lose the interior. It was shot jpg+raw and I tweaked the raw conversion, ran neat image, did a little shadow/highlight and LAB curves. The result is a better image, but not hugely so. Here is the jpg that came out of the camera:

    I too really like the exposure, it's extremely well done. No layering, eh? Nice work. (Note to self, must learn curves.)
