James H. Clark Center at night HDR edit

HDR image of Stanford's James H. Clark Center at night

Interesting view of one of Stanford's newest buildings. Difficult to capture without HDR (compare to this version).

Looks great: good contrast; symmetrically balanced; low noise. Seems like a great candidate -- _{TIM KLOSKE|TALK} 23:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting photo. Pretty cool, really. Now for the "buts". The article James H. Clark Center is barely even a stub -- if you want the photo to have a chance as a FPC, I'd suggest fleshing it out, with such info as who Mr. Clark is/was, who the architect was, and what's going on inside the building.

Second -- was this an off night at the labs? The right side is much brighter, giving the photo an unbalanced feel. Reprocess to brighten left up? Definitely dim the right, which has some blown highlights, especially on the first floor. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 03:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- The labs on the left side have shades on the windows, while the labs on the right don't--you can see it best on the third floor, where the shades are pulled down only two-thirds of the way. (The top floor on the right side of the building also has its shades pulled down, incidentally.) I'm not sure I'm Photoshop ninja enough to make it look more symmetrical, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the comments! --Starwiz (talk) 21:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
