The Mansion
The Mansion restaurant in Melbourne Florida
At night it looks like an amusement park from a distance with the colored baloon cluster yard lights and the old large oak tree with hanging spanish moss all landscape lit up. There is a bar on the roof in the back and although I've never dined there, it looks very unique and some day I hope to. If you attempt to photographically capture the entire structure, you lose it's identity and the lighting is very contrasty requiring me to create the end photo using hdr (combining several overlayed pictures into one) to capture the haunty ambiance yet retain the colors in the lighting without blowing the lights too intensely.
