Stripped and naked
Thank you for visiting - ❤ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, get beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
I had a meeting at Silicon Valley Campus of the Carnegie Mellon University at NASA Ames near Sunnyvale, California. After the meeting I took the time to drive around the NASA campus. This is Hangar One - I am pointing the camera up on the structure.
Hangar One is one of the world's largest freestanding structures, covering 8 acres (3.2 ha), and has long been one of the most recognizable landmarks of California's Silicon Valley. An early example of mid-century modern architecture, it was built in the 1930s as a naval airship station for the USS Macon. The curvy structure on the right is a huge door that slides around in a circular way. A few years back it was stripped from its cover due to lead and asbestos contamination. I like the naked structure more than the original one.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, and blended them using 50% paintery HDR for the scene, and 100% balanced HDR for the sky. After that I desaturated the image, and fixed the curves for higher contrast to make the scene pop in monochrome.

Update 2015-22-21: In the stats I have seen that the 4th popular search term today is "naked". People looking for this probably did not expect to see this... :-)
