The Lafayette Hotel in San Diego was built in 1946 and stands today as wonderful peek back to a romantic style of living. Created by former car dealer and home builder Larry Imig the hotel quickly became a vacation resort and hideaway to stars like Bob Hope and Ava Gardner.

On a personal trip to San Diego, pro photographer Julie Eggers shot brackets (-2, 0 +2) of this scene and processed the result in HDR Express. Using one of HDR Express' presets, she created a mood and feeling that is perfect for this historic hotel.
