Ernest Kadel was the head modeler at the Gladding McBean Architectural Terra Cotta factory in Lincoln, California until his sudden and untimely death in 1959. As a testimony to their respect for him, his fellow employees have left his office just as it was on his last day there. The room's rich detail makes for a fascinating photography subject. To capture that detail, this High-Dynamic-Range QTVR image was created by taking photos at f22 over a range of eight shutter speeds from 1/15 second to 8 seconds. Seven 12-megapixel photos at each exposure were used to make eight different panoramas. Those panoramas were then combined using Adobe Photoshop's "high dynamic range processing" before being converted to a QTVR. The occasion was a photography workshop sponsored by the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center of Sacramento, California.
Gladding, McBean is the only remaining major manufacturer of ornamental hand-sculptured terra cotta in the United States. http://gladdingmcbean.paccoast.com Viewpoint Photographic Art Center - http://www.viewpointgallery.org/ To see some cool time-lapse, visit http://www.granitebaysoftware.com
