Challenge: Rainbow II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D700
Location: Austin, Texas
Date: Nov 10, 2009
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1.50th
Date Uploaded: Nov 13, 2009

 This is dusk at the Texas State Capitol building in Austin. The moment I took it I saw the colors of the rainbow in it, so I was happy to see that was the challenge this week! Light was low and I didn't have a tripod so I had to bump up the ISO and set the camera on the opposite ledge. I wish there were clouds, but what can you do.

The Capitol Extension, located on the north side of the Capitol, is a four-level underground structure which was completed in 1993. It was built to provide the Capitol with much-needed additional space without detracting from its appearance and historical importance. It is connected to the Capitol by three pedestrian tunnels.

This is an HDR using one photo and varying the exposure in photoshop. RAW -> Convert to Jpg -> Levels -> Topaz Adjust ->SFW.

This is a really spectacular shot. I cannot give it a really high mark as I don't feel that is really fits into the challenge.

This doesn't really speak "Rainbow" to me, but I get the arc shapes and there are a lot of colors in the spectrum represented (plus the whole political aspect). It's a fantastic shot. Good luck.

While this is a magnificent wide angle shot, it simply does not say rainbow to me on any level. DNMC

I like the pic...but it doesn't really fit into the challenge.

It does not appeal to me, specially for this challenge. The background lacks sharpness and looks cartoonish in some places. Kind of shoehorn picture for my taste. 5.
