Arcade-Art

The upper level of Nashville’s “Arcade” is almost exclusively occupied

by art studios and galleries. Someone has counted seventeen

galleries. The Arcade played a little known role in the civil rights

era of Nashville. When I showed my wife this and other images of the

Arcade, she remarked that they were “nice” pictures but they didn’t

look like the Arcade. In spite of the expanse of skylights, much of

the Arcade is in dapple light and many areas shaded. I thought a

perfect location for HDR. Comments and critique appreciated.

Wayne! very nice perspective beautiful lighting-and atmosphere  good work! Best regards janegbert

Hi Wayne,

  Wonderful image with perfect composition & beautiful lighting.  Take care, Patsy

Excellent POV for this capture Wayne. You did not take your HDR to extremes which I find nice.  Lovely reflections from the natural light from above.

Janegbert,

Thanks.  I really appreciate your commenting.

Pierre,

Many thanks.  I confess, I only realized it was a tolerable composition as I was processing.

Patsy,

Many thanks.  I really thought this would be a good subject for the power of HDR to balance light.

Gail,

Thanks.  I have been reluctant to experiment with HDR because of seeing too many "exaggerated" uses. Your comment encourages me to explore it more.  Thanks again. 

A beautiful composition with very nice lighting, Wayne!

Ruud,

Many thanks.
