Divinity School, Oxford (1)

Divinity School, Oxford (1)
~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-)))

From Wikipedia -
“The Divinity School is a medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, England, part of the University of Oxford. Built between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, although Oxford does offer degrees in divinity taught by its Faculty of Theology."

Allegedly, the Divinity School served as Hogwarts infirmary in four films, and where Professor McGonnagal taught students to dance in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

I applied a Retinex filter here.
From Gimp - “Retinex improves visual rendering of an image when lighting conditions are not good. While our eye can see colors correctly when light is low, cameras and video cams can't manage this well. The MSRCR (MultiScale Retinex with Color Restoration) algorithm, which is at the root of the Retinex filter, is inspired by the eye biological mechanisms to adapt itself to these conditions. Retinex stands for Retina + cortex.2.”

The Retinex filter works really well here and helps to produce a fine image in difficult conditions. Excellent work.

Great shot but I'm not quite convinced on this outcome made by GIMP "Retinex filter". For me it looks a little like "lousy HDR", having some halo around edges where light and dark areas meet.

But surely as a GIMP user, I need to try it myself =)

EDIT: I just can't understand how I have managed to miss that feature on GIMP... =O

EDIT: Oh yes! It seem to work nicely for example when using on duplicate layer and playing with different layer modes =)
