Old West - Antlers Hotel Lobby - Walden Co.

This is one of my first shots with my new 14-24 lens. I love it. Comments welcome! (again.. larger version on my Flickr.. link at bottom of photo)

The Antlers Hotel in Walden Co. Very much an old west type of architecture with heavy log walls, old leather furniture and huge fireplaces. Nice place to stay, and the food is good too!

Very nice, Charlie. You're going to love that lens. One thing to keep in mind is that the protruding front element can be a magnet for dust when shooting outdoors – just make sure to check it every now and then.

Nice job, the room is lit well. I have 14-24 envy.

if you have LR4, I would use WB brush and make the rear of the room warmer.

It is actually a nine frame HDR... and I worked on it a bit in PS. The original had some really bright sunlit areas that were killing it! Here is the "Normal Exposure" Shot before PS and HDR...

I do like the lens.. and yes, I noticed that it tends to attract everything from dust, to insects and small birds! lol! Thanks!

I rather like the original version with its sun and shadows. It spurs the imagination of cowboys and cautious hoteliers and constant dusting of wood and glass.

Thanks! I don't do clients anymore, except in very rare cir***stances! This was just for fun! I got several other angles in the room also... including some shot just of the fireplace. Would love to visit in the winter when that is loaded and fired up.
