For this image, I used about 8-10 exposures to balance the sky, the building, and the foreground, plus making sure I added sunlight hitting the front doors. The wind was gusty so I needed 3 different exposures to get a shot of each flag fully extended. Then, right after the security guard came out to tell me that I couldn't take photos of the building, I was able to grab a shot of him walking back up to the entrance! I spent about 45 minutes on-site for this single image. This is the GE Harris building in Melbourne, Florida.
