Wow. I can't imagine the excitement of looking at that structure and knowing it will soon be your permanent home.

How did you stage that photo, with multiple vehicle headlights? Long exposure time? Great shot.

I used three sets of shop lights, front, corner, and side of the frame for lighting. For the camera I used a tripod and took 3 pictures in manual mode with a +- 2 for the exposure value. All three photos were combined into an HDR photo on mild settings to pull in some additional frame detail that would otherwise be lost in the shadows.

I have to admit that I was checking every couple of hours last night to see if you had posted yet and then first thing this morning. I knew that you had a fantastic project and had to say wow when I saw the frame this morning. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more pictures. Rick

Cool looking photo. I feel like I am reading a photography forum.

Thanks for all the comments so far. I've got so many photos it was hard to narrow them down. I've got about 50 I've uploaded to flicker in the link below. I figured it would be easier to post that way. Flicker's website shows it will be down for maintanance tonight from 7pm until tomorrow morning so you may not be able to open the link later tonight until tomorrow.

Let's try this. I was trying not to blow up everyone's screens with a ton of photos but here they are.
