Some pictures of the Church of San Francesco da Paola in Milan (Italy). Other pictures and basic info about the church can be found on the page http://www.milanofotografo.it/englis...ano.aspx?ID=56

Exif info of the pictures (lost during processing) can be found on the page http://www.milanofotografo.it/englis...es_e_monuments

All pictures are double exposures taken with a Panasonic G2, separated by 1.5 stops, fused using the algorythm on the page http://www.milanofotografo.it/englishFotografiaHDR.aspx and finally optimized using Faststone.

This is one of the few late baroque rococò churches in Milan.

Fantastic shots Enrico. You really captured the experience of being there for the viewer. Photos really come to life when clicked to larger.

Hi Enrico.

I believe the top 4 images could benefit from increasing the brightness in the shadows. There are some rather dark areas that interesting detail that is hidden by the darker areas.

All the images are fascinating and made me wish I were there to see the church.

I' glad you like my pictures!
The problem of the shadows is that opening them would dramatically increase the visible noise.
Unfortunately pictures of this kind are characterized by a very high illumination difference between the darker and the brighter parts. If I increased the exposure times, the windows would burn even the areas immediately around them!
The real solution would be to fuse at least 3 pictures, so add 1 more stops to dynamic range. It is something I will do in the future!
Or buying a camera with a better sensor! But for the moment I don't have the money!
