<p>When I am commisioned for interior work, I like to try and incorprate a pan into the shot list, or if something jumps out at me i shoot it!&nbsp; Like when i photographed the interior of a new music studio in New York <a href="http://www.beat360.com/">BEAT 360</a> I managed to shoot this:</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 1000px;" src="http://www.tomjudge.co.uk/storage/img3.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1266429326085" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>To get technical - i shoot various fames on a tripod, overlapping about 1/3 of each images with the previous.&nbsp; this allows greater flexibitly with the stiching together at post production.&nbsp; I also bracket each exposure 1 stop either side so I have the avaialbilty to composite elements into the final image.&nbsp; For example the outside of the windows was shot at a darker exposure and then introduced to the final.</p>
<p>POST PRODUCTION: I retouch most of my own work, to give me lots of creative control - using the obligitary <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/">Adobe Photoshop CS4</a>&nbsp; I use the the command File&gt; Automate&gt; Photomerge to merge the exported .psd files together.&nbsp; This gives a really great effect. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>]]></description><enclosure url="www.tomjudge.co.uk/blog" type="application/octet-stream"/><wfw:commentRss>http://www.tomjudge.co.uk/blog/rss-comments-entry-6726028.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>The New Website</title><dc:creator>Tom Judge</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 04 Feb 2010 00:56:15 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.tomjudge.co.uk/blog/2010/2/3/the-new-website.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">487128:5670093:6555156</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to my new website.&nbsp; Keep up to date with everything happening in my world with the new updated blog.... posts to come</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.tomjudge.co.uk/blog/rss-comments-entry-6555156.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
