We spent our first two nights in Estes Park in the historic Stanley Hotel. It is a beautiful hotel and I really liked the lobby with all the wood decor. Photography was often difficult because of the lighting at night or even the back-lighting coming through the windows in the daytime. To solve the lighting issues I would often take 3-9 bracketed images of a scene and then would later use Photomatix to create an HDR image. All the indoor shots in this gallery are HDR images. I tried to make most of them appear properly exposed but I got creative with a few to create a better image. I am generally satisfied with them and hope you like them too. Legend has it that the Stanley Hotel is haunted but I only caught one picture of a ghost during all the photos I took. See if you can find it...
