I've just returned from a stag do in Barcelona. Not exactly a perfect photography holiday but I've got a few that are nice. Most notable was the trip to la Sagrada Familia, a modern cathedral designed by Gaudi with an interior intended to resemble a forest. Very well thought out- the columns are made from different coloured/shaded stone so that from the back it gets darker and darker towards the front until there's a golden sunburst intended to represent God. Even as an atheist, that's impressive.I was looking forward to creating some HDR images I took there but computer problems have meant that it's running very slowly and HDR processing is lengthy at the best of times. I use Photomatix for HDR and it's taking a full 10 minutes to get through to the preview stage. After that, I have to tweak the presets and settings and tell it to process which takes another couple of minutes. If the image doesn't come out quite right, it's back to the start. Long story short, I decided that enough was enough and bought a new laptop so I look forward to powering through the rest of the HDR work and improving on the image above.
