Winter Mall-Walking

In Edmonton, when the weather is too cold outside to do outdoor activities, sometimes the best resource we have is one of the largest malls in the world. This “used” to be the largest mall in the world, but no more. We usually spend the weekend circling the mall on both levels to get some exercise in.

Sometimes, we wish that this scene was from a tropical location in warm weather, instead of inside a concrete mall. Sure would be nice to go fishing right now in the warm sun. Fortunately, we are only a few more weeks away from summer.

Edmontonions would know that this is a shot of the Santa Maria at West Edmonton Mall (formerly the largest mall in the world). I have attempted this shot many times in the past, always resulting in blown out roofline or just dull/muted colors. So this time I went out with a vengence and did a high dynamic range image. I am extremely thrilled by the output of the HDR and it has to be my favorite HDR of all time.
