Roger, this is a great shot! The coloring and the way the lighting falls is really nice. Thanks for posting. Did you do anything to this in post?

 

[Roger]

Like??

I used A2, I can't remember the settings I used to play with the highlights and shadows. I know I increased vibrancy to at least 0.25 and probably sat from 1.0 to 1.1. Sharpened. I don't think I changed the white balance though.

It came out great! I really like the way that this looks.

Thanks!

Here's some more:

From the open air "atrium" that is part of the underground lair.

Rotunda, looking up a little to the side for perspective.

Straight up:

Underneath where I took the last two - the floor tiles are decorated reflecting the six flags that have flown over Texas:

Kingdom of France
Kingdom of Spain
Republic of Mexico
Republic of Texas
United States of America
Confederate States of America


Incredibly hard to take of picture of that without a tilt/shift lens. I tried doing it over the railing from above, but didn't want to lose my camera on accident.

These are great Roger the first one looks like it was taken just before the storm of the century was going to hit.

Wonderful as usual Roger. I'll have to see if I can find my pics of the capitol.

Here's a look at the top of the rotunda:

Nice work Roger! I love those two looking up into the dome.
