For a little more than a year now I’ve been taking photographs of the Institute For Advanced Study campus as part of a website redesign for the School of Natural Sciences which was launched recently.
Each time the webpage is reloaded a different image is displayed depending on the season. Clicking on one of the images displays a gallery of all the images; if you click on one of the images in the gallery it displays in a separate window with information about the location or subject.
At the top of the webpage is a panoramic shot of the rear of Bloomberg Hall, the main building for the School of Natural Sciences. It was converted to black and white using Convert To B+W Pro and a solid color transparent layer was added using Adobe Photoshop CS2
All the images were shot using a Canon EOS 5D with either a Canon 24-105 f/4L IS USM, Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM or Tamron f/2.8-3.5 XR Di lens. Around 50% of the shots were hand-held.
Post-processing in Photoshop was conducted on a number of the images. The interior shots are blended multiple exposures created using either Photoshop CS2 or Photomatix Pro. Local contrast enhancement was conducted on some images using HDRsoft’s Tone-mapping Plugin for Photoshop CS2.
New images are being added on a regular basis.
Really entertaining blog entry. I’m a Italian and I definitely want to visit sometime soon! Nice to hear from you and what an interesting blog.
See you Later. Bye.
