Historic Spanish Point is a 30-acre museum in Osprey, Florida, about 20 minutes north of Venice. It has a variety of buildings, gardens, and trails. Mary's Chapel is a small country church on the site. In addition to the stained glass windows in the side walls, there's one in the wall opposite the entrance. I decided to enlarge that window. Considerably.
Nikon D3S, ISO 800, f/22; 22mm and 7-exposure HDR for the interior of the chapel, 85mm and 3-exposure HDR for the window
processing highlights
- cropped the interior from the top, left, and bottom -- partly for composition, partly to make the back wall larger for the window
- There were posts and chains in front of the wall and light on the floor from a side window not included in the image. I'd never before used the Current Aware option for the Patch Tool in Photoshop, but it worked wonders getting rid of those things.
- stretched the interior vertically to allow the window to nearly fill the space without a change to its proportions
- Nik Viveza -- lightened the trim around the window to make it consistent with the rest of the interior (The exposures had been for the window, so the trim was dark.)
- Topaz Simplify -- Watercolor II, masked off the windows and lights
- Nik Color Efex -- Contrast Color Range, masked off the windows and lights
- Redfield Fractalius -- three different B&W layers at Multiply blend mode (The most intense of the layers was used as a vignette.)
- Alien Skin Snap Art -- Stylize Line Art, B&W layer at Multiply blend mode, masked off the windows and lights
