I was stuck photographing this dining room on a blistering day at about 11am. I wanted to show detail outside the window but have the room properly exposed.
What I ended up doing was photographing 3 exposure +2/-2/0 to fuse together in the Photomatrix Exposure Fusion mode. The result after running through exposure Fusion:
I felt the room was too dark and did a flash exposure to light up the room and furniture. I used 2 Nikon SB800s with the omni diffuser to fill the room.
I then took and stacked the photos in Adobe Elements with the flash exposure on top and the Photomatricx Fusion below. I took the top layer and played with the opacity button until I found a decent balance between both exposures. I then erased areas like the windows that I wanted to show through from the bottom exposure.
The reslut was as follows:
Just curious if there are any other suggestions to handle the situation. There was not a possibility of moving some of the flashes into the room as there was no place to hide them.
