Rotunda at the National Museum of Natural History HDR

Rotunda at the National Museum of Natural History HDR

There are so many beautiful domes in DC. I spent about an hour in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History yesterday before I bothered to look up. Once I did I couldn't stop taking pictures of the dome. It is simply amazing. I ended up with 10 HDR images from different angles. I will be posting some of my other compositions later. Throughout all of my compositions I was striving for symmetry but it was so, incredibly difficult because the center of the floor in the rotunda is occupied by an elephant.

This picture is composed of 5 images merged to HDR in Photomatix Pro.
