Took this while hiking past Arden point. This is some building near West Point. Originally, I thought it was the Thayer Hotel, but it turns out that it doesn’t quite look that way. I would love if someone could help me to identify it.
The day was very hazy. I was very uncertain as to how this image would come out, but after some fiddling with the tone mapping settings I have to say that I am super pleased. It is fascinating to me that the HDR processing filtered out a lot of the “noise” that was introduced by the haze to make the building look so sharp in contrast to the mountains around it.
I am really glad I got off my duff today to get out for this hike. It is easy to forget how much cool stuff there is so close to where I live that I haven’t seen yet.


Very nice hdr! Great central composition!
I believe that this is the West Point Museum now, but not 100% sure. I think that it may have been part of Lady Cliff Academy (an all girls school that closed down about 20 years ago).
