Assignment: Architecturals on Mexican Time

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, is a 16th century Spanish Colonial town on the World Heritage register – a place rich in culture and architectural gems, both traditional and contemporary. While in San Miguel recently, I was called upon to make interior and exterior architectural renderings at Jillita’s home,  that were to be used in a publication.

The Challenge: The photo project came up in an impromptu way while I was traveling with my Canon EOS-1 Ds Mark III and no lighting equipment. My challenge was to produce high quality interior photographs of the home without the use of professional photographic lighting equipment.

The Solution: Utilizing HDR – High Dynamic Range Imaging, I set the camera to record a set of five bracketed exposures, over and under the average exposure, so that the group of images included a range of mid-tone, shadow detail and highlight detail. Because this  range of light is much greater than a single exposure can record, Photoshop’s HDR function was used to merge the image files into one. A group of photographs were produced with a smooth range of detail that might otherwise only be achieved through lighting balance.
