Capitol Hill Station: Light Rail and Heavy Construction., originally uploaded by Michael Holden.
The feat of building twin tunnels and a light rail station at Broadway and John continues to inspire. Here is a recent project from frequent CHS Flickr pool contributor Michael Holden that puts other online views of the station construction site to shame. Here’s what Holden said of his work and a link to his panoramic view of the Hill’s Big Dig:
If you live on Capitol Hill, you’ve no doubt noticed that they’re building something enormous at Broadway and John, and that “thing” is Sound Transit’s Capitol Hill Station.
This is one seriously big hole. One shot couldn’t get it all. Or two. Or three.
This is a 20-frame HDR panorama that rendered out to about 62 megapixels. Each frame is comprised of four shots exposed at 1/15th, 1/8th, 1/2 and 1 second each at f10/24mm. The raw files were rendered as tifs, stitched in EV-bracketed layers in Giga, exported as tifs, converted to hdr in Photomatix where they were tone mapped, then pulled back into Lightroom for some final tweaks before being converted to a swf for web display.

Many many thanks to Tim for letting me inside for a few minutes to take these shots.
