Existential. Massive Panorama of an abandoned staircase.

Taken on my D300. 3 shots on each row, 5 shots for each shot due to HDR. So in total, 45 shots.

Other than that harsh light on the far left wall, I think this looks pretty good. Obviously you were going for a specific dark, scary look, and I think you pulled that off very nicely!

I know that light is the sun coming in, but I'm sure there is a way to fix that.

Oh there definitely is! I could have just pulled back the highlights during tone-mapping. But, I didn't want to!

My idea of a good HDR is something that keeps the natural look while hitting the detail that tone-mapping brings. I also like to preserve shadows as much as I can. Gives it a more realistic look

Thank you so much!

That light doesn't look natural, it is distracting. To me anyway, lets see what others say.

Getting closer to the ground and aiming up would make the photo more "dramatic"

I like the bright light coming down from the second floor. It helps to lead the eye up and into the composition. Think of the opposite and what it wouldn't accomplish.

It's a good HDR demonstration of an interior abandoned home.

I really like that. I can see where ppl say it's a little bright and kinda have to agree. But i love dark shots that are indeed bright.

Doing the right thing is bleeding for the cause
