Shrine of Remembrance • Melbourne by William Bullimore
{"Image ImageDescription": "From the <a href=\"http://www.shrine.org.au/\">Official Site</a>:\n\n<i>The Shrine of Remembrance was built between July 1928 and November 1934 in remembrance of the 114,000 men and women of Victoria who served and those who died in the Great War of 1914-1918 - 89,100 of them served overseas and 19,000 did not return.\n\nThe people of Victoria felt that their debt to these volunteers, who had defended them at such great costs to themselves and their families, should be recognised by a worthy permanent monument of remembrance.\n\nAlthough the country was faced with frightful unemployment and financial difficulty in the late 1920s and the 1930s, so great was the gratitude of the people that the huge amount required to build the Shrine was raised or promised within six months from the opening of the appeal in 1928.\n\n\nThe design for the Shrine of Remembrance was selected by competition among Australian artists and architects. Eighty-three designs were submitted and the winning design was by two Melbourne returned-soldier architects, Philip Hudson and James Wardrop.\n\nThe inspiration for the external outline came from one of the seven wonders of the ancient world - the mausoleum at Harlicarnassus to Mausolus, King of Caria in South West Asia Minor.\n\n\nPrince Henry, the Duke of Gloucester and son of King George V, officially opened the Shrine before a crowd of 300,000 people in November 1934.\n\n\nSince then, it has been a growing monument, with other memorials added to the site to mark the service of successive generations, such as the Second World War Forecourt and the Remembrance Garden - Post 1945 Memorial. </i>\n\n<i>Details:</i>\nCamera: Canon EOS 5D Mk II\nLens: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM\nExposure: 13 exposures (-2,-1.66.-1.33,-1,-.66,-.33,0,+.33,+.66,+1,+1.33,+1.66+2 EV)\nAperture: f/18\nFocal Length: 22 mm\nISO Speed: 200\nAccessories: Manfrotto 190XB Tripod, Manfrotto 322RC2 Heavy Duty Grip Ball Head, Canon RC1 Wireless Remote\nDate and Time: 14 July 2009 6.41am\n\n<i>Post Processing:</i>\nImported into Lightroom\nExported 13 exposures to Photomatix\nTonemap generated HDR using detail enhancer option\nRe-imported back into Lightroom\nExported HDR and 0 EV exposure to CS3 and layered HDR on top of 0 EV\nBrush tool to even out the sky\nNoise reduction layer\nMagic wand tool to select the monument\nUnsharp mask on selection\nRe-imported back into Lightroom\nVibrance adjustment in Lightroom\nAdded keyword metadata\nExported as 3000 x 2000 JPEG", "Image Make": "Canon", "Image Model": "Canon EOS 5D Mark II", "Image XResolution": "300", "Image YResolution": "300", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows", "Image DateTime": "2009:07:23 09:44:36", "Image Artist": "William Bullimore", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered", "Image Copyright": "(C) William Bullimore 2009", "Image ExifOffset": "2752", "EXIF ExposureTime": "2/5", "EXIF FNumber": "18", "EXIF ExposureProgram": "Aperture Priority", "EXIF ISOSpeedRatings": "200", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0221", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2009:07:14 06:41:49", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2009:07:14 06:41:49", "EXIF ComponentsConfiguration": "YCbCr", "EXIF ShutterSpeedValue": "16729/12655", "EXIF ApertureValue": "31141/3734", "EXIF ExposureBiasValue": "2/3", "EXIF MaxApertureValue": "24361/8200", "EXIF MeteringMode": "Pattern", "EXIF Flash": "Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode", "EXIF FocalLength": "22", "EXIF SubSecTimeOriginal": "01", "EXIF SubSecTimeDigitized": "01", "EXIF FlashPixVersion": "0100", "EXIF ColorSpace": "Uncalibrated", "EXIF FocalPlaneXResolution": "327183/85", "EXIF FocalPlaneYResolution": "633119/162", "EXIF FocalPlaneResolutionUnit": "2", "EXIF CustomRendered": "Normal", "EXIF ExposureMode": "Auto Bracket", "EXIF WhiteBalance": "Auto", "EXIF SceneCaptureType": "Standard"}
