  I have a confession to make… despite of making it a fake HDR I had to cut it in half and copy the better exposed half. In other words – the left side is the real one and the right side is the copied flipped left side.

niiice. i am wondering…would you care… to share… the secret of… i don’t know how to call it. the square i guess. you split it in half because one half was better exposed. but had the both halves been equally well exposed you wouldn’t have to ‘copy/paste’ one half. how do you get the effect of 4 walls ( or in some photos that i saw – 4 buildings) around photographer (in a way). i don’t know if the question makes sense?

  I am sorry it is probably my earache but I don’t know what you are asking. It is not the question of exposure only. Hardly any place or object is perfectly symmetrical on its own.
