UK - Oxford - Radcliffe Camera through the window_sepia_DSC8500
I'd seen versions of this shot of the Radcliffe Camera through a window in St Marys Church before on contacts photostreams but when I came to shoot it myself I found it quite tricky to get right.
I had to massively overexposure to keep any detail of the window surround and then in Lightroom pull as much detail as I could back from the main subject itself. I thought this would be a better way of doing it as to pull detail out of the shadows would have introduced a lot of noise into these foreground areas.

From Wikipedia : "From Wikipedia : "The Radcliffe Camera (Camera, meaning "room" in Latin; colloquially, "Rad Cam" or "The Camera") is a building of Oxford University, England, designed by James Gibbs in neo-classical style and built in 1737–1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. It is sited to the south of the Old Bodleian, north of St. Mary's Church, and between Brasenose College to the west and All Souls College to the east.
The Library's construction and maintenance was funded from the estate of John Radcliffe, a notable doctor, who left £40,000 upon his death in 1714. According to the terms of his will, construction only began in 1737, although the intervening period saw the complex purchase of the site. The exterior was complete in 1747 and the interior finished by 1748, although the Library's opening was delayed until 13 April 1749."
