The ceiling fan has been working overtime in the heat! I experimented by photographing it against our raked ceilings and using one of its lights as a star-burst.

I went to a meetup in San Francisco a few weeks back and found this beautiful stained glass ceiling. Do you know, or can you guess where this is? The title gives a hint.

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW long exposure, then merged the two images.

UPDATE 2015-12-26: I took this shot when I went to an open house event at the Internet Archive in San Francisco. They purchased an old church and converted it into a workplace and datacenter. Quite unique. This is the glass ceiling of the main hall upstairs. The same hall also serves as a datacenter.

A staircase from the Tokyo National Museum, Japanese Gallery (Honkan). The exhibition was vast and interesting, but the architecture itself was nothing spectacular. However, the western neoclassical styled building has many interesting details, one being this. The black-and-white approach here is especially funky as the sides of staircase turn into light itself.

There was quite a lot of people trying to get shots of the interior of Carlisle Cathedral which was founded in 1122 as an Augustinian priory. I was acutely aware of those waiting and never got the time I would’ve liked to get something better. Felt a bit wrong to sprawl out on the floor while a queue was forming.

This beautiful domed ceiling is in the shop Fat Face Bournemouth. Once it graced a restaurant at the same address in the early 20th Century. It is a hidden gem and absolutely beautiful. #Bournemouth #hiddengem #TheNewCadenaCafe

A section of the ceiling in the very impressive Granada Cathedral. I would have preferred to go for a HDR but I was just not steady enough to manage that. I ran this through Define 3 to diminish the noise and then worked at bringing out the dark shadows. Not totally happy.
