Paul,

That is just gorgeous! can i come work for you for the remainder of the winter :)

Beautiful install & home though! Nice work.
SB looks great! Looks like the Panny 3000 or 4000 projector.

This is just spectactular.  Do you often work with the same carpenters and decorators?

I can't complain about the Santa Barbara winter... was at the beach during the weekend, but today it's a freezing 63°.  :)

Must be nice to have 63° in February. I woke up to -17°C ~ 2°F and will see the first day above freezing since November by the end of the week.

I've been slowly getting through the photos from another job.  Posted some quick pictures of this one before... it was completed just before Christmas.

While there is no doubting the work and home are incredible (they are fantastic), I am calling BS (or should I say PS) on the daytime quality of the image. Not that you were trying to fool anyone here because we all know better but if you are achieving that image quality during the day than I am doing something wrong.

On that note, how do they watch during the day?

HDR with simulated screens. He explained his process a few pages back.

Just read through it. Great info.

However, I dont think that can account for the full color image on the screens. Ive looked at a few of the pics. Looks shopped to me. Especially considering the multitude of familiar images used on the screens.

The screens are simulated images. [Link: remotecentral.com]

It's a combination of things...

The photos are taken with multiple exposures on a tripod.  These pictures were taken with 5-7 shots all bracketed 1 f-stop apart (my camera can do this automatically).  I also use a hot light and occasionly a flash to eliminate some shadows. 

Once you have the bracketed exposures, they are sent into HDR software (I use Photomatrix) which creates an image with wide dynamic range.

This is what makes an image closer to what your eye can actually see.  The best example of this is being able to see the view out the windows.

From here it goes to Photoshop for additional work to crop, correct verticals & color, sharpen, add TV images, etc.

In some cases, the HDR software doesn't do a good job with the windows and I pick the photo with the best exposure for the view out the window and then layer multiple images in photoshop.  This takes more time, but can provide a better result.

It's a fairly involved process and takes time.  At this job I spent almost 3 hours setting up and taking the photos and then another 3-4 hours processing the images.

Yes but 63° around here is damn near hunker down and break out the extra blankets weather.
