Phenomenal interior

One of the more remarkable interiors I've photographed is the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. This is the lobby of the hotel looking straight upward. I prefer shooting this in the day because the skylight at the top of the structure blows out, creating a mysterious, futuristic look. Photographers almost always want to avoid blowing the highlights (meaning areas of the image with no texture or detail), but this is an exception to that rule. If you are traveling to Atlanta, I recommend staying at this hotel so you can gain access to the upper floors because the photography is just as amazing from the various heights. To exaggerate the lines of the phenomenal architecture, I used a Canon 15mm fisheye lens. I handheld the shot because the hotel understandably frowns on using tripods in the lobby. My settings were 1/50, f/3.5, and 400 ISO. I used daylight white balance, and the blue color comes from the deep shade (i.e. high Kelvin temperature) of the lobby. It didn't look blue to my eyes.
