This was taken from one of the events we did the lighting for this weekend. As always, I took a great shot and grunged it up HDR style, but hey, thats what I like! I took a few images that came out pretty good. Maybe I will post a collage tomorrow. Just a couple of funny notes about this one. First, trying to keep a clear room during exposures was like taking a picture of I-95 at rush hour and trying to get a clear shot of the road. I am not sure why everyone kept coming in and out of the room, but it wasn’t really my place to stop it. Everyone outside of the room had to see what all the buzz was about. I would be 25 seconds into a 30 second exposure and some jackass would stick his head in the door. Sorry, thats a bit harsh, but you get the picture. Case in point, the open door on the left side. (uurrgg!) In their defense, the room did look amazing. Second thing, you can see my camera on the tripod reflected in the mirror top right……woops!

Very colorful!
Looks very nice! Gorgeous shot and processing. Wouldn’t have noticed the reflection of the camera and tripod if you wouldn’t have mentioned it.
Great amount of details 🙂
Love the colors in this, Mike!
This looks like a real fancy dinner. The kind you steal silverware from.
Wow, what a shot, love the processing! Simple superb my friend
Beautiful scene, wonderfully shot. What software do you use for the HDR? It really looks stunning.
Wow! Your work is so fantastic! The details are beautiful!

Mike – I gotta tell you: I am in awe. Truly in awe. This shot is jaw-dropping (as is the room).
Nice tones and angle that you captured this in. Hope the bride and groom like this shot, I definitely do!
Ouch! I love it… so bold.
amazing!

wow – gorgeous light. so soft and warm.
you’re too funny :))) the same thing happens to me too – 60 sec exposure and one or two people always find their way to the worst possible spot and decide to have a break
fantastic composition, treatment, and angle!!!
