HDR Photography – Roman baths in Bath

In september 2016 we were visiting the southern part of England (UK). I shot a sequence of several bracketed exposure photographs on my tripod, capturing the interior of the roman baths and the cathedral in the background. This HDR photograph is a picture created out of five bracketed shots, post-processed with Photomatix and Photoshop.

The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. The house is a well-preserved Roman site for public bathing.

Bath was founded upon natural hot springs with the steaming water playing a key role throughout its history. Lying in the heart of the city the Roman Baths were constructed around 70 AD as a grand bathing and socialising complex. It is now one of the best preserved Roman remains in the world.

Some evenings the Roman bath is lit with fires, just like in Roman times. That night it was windy and rainy, but still an ideal moment for a great shot with the lit cathedral in the background.
