Photographer's notes: I took this photograph from the rear gallery with a Sony A33 camera and Sony 55-300mm lens at 135mm, mounted on a tripod. I made four landscape exposures at ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/8s, rotating the camera vertically to capture the window in detail. I stitched these together with Hugin and re-imported the 16-bit tiff to Lightroom for final levels adjustments.
This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Cloned-out the top of a overhead-projector screen and the wire suspending it from the bottom left of the image. Only the wire covered the window, so negligible impact on subject..
This is a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons (Featured pictures) and is considered one of the finest images. See its nomination here.
