Baker Hall Stairwell

Here is another photo from our photo walk around Carnegie Mellon University.  The stairwell inside Baker Hall is very interesting and made for a great photo.  I must have taken photos of this stairwell from 25 different angles.  Anyway, I hope you have a great week.

CMU - College of Fine Arts

Back in January, Brad, Dave and I complete a photo walk around CMU (Carnegie Mellon University) in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh.  What a great college campus.  We took a number of photos inside some of their amazing buildings.  This is the lobby of their College of Fine Arts.  How cool is this place?  My opinion…. Super Cool.

Carnegie Mellon University

On a recent photo walk with Brad and Dave, we were looking for something unique.  Something that hasn’t been photographed a million times.  That’s when we decided to photograph CMU.  We got access to Baker Hall and I captured this amazing stairwell.  The security guard told me that it is the best stairwell on the campus and I think he was right.

Carnegie Music Hall

Here is an oldie.  I took this photo back in 2012 of the Carnegie Music Hall in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh.  I processed it but never shared it with the world.  Last night I was digging through my files and found it…but I didn’t like it.  So I took my original 7 exposures from that day and re-processed it last night.  I like it much better.   

You can see some previous photos from that day at the links below:

Carnegie Music Hall Lobby

The main Carnegie Museums sit in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh.  Part of the museum includes the Carnegie Music Hall, which is a remarkable Italian Renaissance architectural design commissioned by Andrew Carnegie.  Construction was started in 1891 and it has been used for performance ever since.

Last spring, I called, emailed, and bugged the Events Coordinator until she allowed Brad, Dave, MJ and I access to photograph the inside of this amazing building.  Tonight’s photo is of the main lobby outside of the music all.  They had it setup for a wedding reception later in the day, which is a popular venue for receptions and events. 

I captured this photo with a 3 exposure auto-bracketed set of images (+1, 0, -1) and created the HDR image with Photomatix Pro.  If you ever get a chance to visit this location, please do so.  It is worth the time to walk the facility.   The attached museums are also great, but expect to spend more then a full day and you’ll still miss items.   For more information on the Carnegie Museums, click HERE.
