The inner harbour waterfront in Victoria, B.C. is dominated by two buildings – the Fairmont Empress Hotel and this one, the British Columbia Legislature. Tours run every 30 to 60 minutes depending upon the day but we missed an official slot on the last morning we spent in the city so took a quick self-guided wander around the interior of the building. The legislature was actually in special session debating a bill relating to the building of a gas terminal so we didn’t get to see a whole lot of the building but we did get into the main rotunda where I took this shot.
For those interested in HDR techniques, this was shot handheld using 5 exposures at 1/15 second shutter speed and varying the sensitivity using the camera’s automatic ISO feature. This technique can be a real life-saver when you find yourself needing to use HDR in a low-light environment with no access to a tripod.
For the technically inclined...
