Straps and Sleighs

Leather horse bridles in the foreground and seasonal storage for horse drawn sleighs in the background inside the main barn at HopeWell Furnace National Historic Site near Elverson, PA.

This was an experiment to see how much detail I could pull out of something that was completely in the shadows using HDR. I shot this as nine bracketed frames at 1/3rd stop variance and then combined them into an HDR and tone mapped the HDR using Photomatix Pro. The white spots on the wood are poop from the population of barn swallows that live in the barn. I really like the way the light from the window is subtlety hitting the sleigh in the background. HDR for the win.

From my Monday, 9-7-2009 trip to Hopewell National Historic Site.
