I made all of these with an Olympus E1 (ISO100), 11-22/2.8-3.5, and Olympus FL50 flash. The rooms were so dim that the E1 autofocus didn't work worth a damn (these are manually focused) and the huge rooms just *ate* the flash alive. I need an external battery back. I converted the RAW files with Capture One Pro, converted to B&W with some voodoo channel mixer preset I found on the web, sharpened and toned using Photokit Sharpener and Photokit. Made various exposure adjustments in PS. The scary thing about all this is that I routinely end up with 150MB+ files for an 8x10 inkjet print. Cheers!
