|  | | | When I originally composed this shot, I was really happy. The view and framing and everything was great to me, at the time. Now that I see the end-result, though, I don't know what went wrong. The roof seems grainy, the outside area seems over-exposed while the inside seems underexposed. What was the most carefully taken shot as well as the shot I most looked forward to seeing developed was a disappointment. Critique it please, I want to understand what exactly failed.

| | | | Maybe too much noise in picture? Perhaps it could be better if you took it from lighter place. Just guessing.

| | | | Metering a shot like this would have been impossible to get it all exposed as your eye sees it. Film (or digital) does not have the dynamic range needed to expose both the foreground inside and the background outside... so you have to pick which area you want to expose for, and accept that the rest won't be how you want. If your camera did the metering, it was looking generally in the center of the frame and taking its exposure reading accordingly... which is why the shaded areas of the trees outside are correctly exposed. Basically, you have to decide ahead of time if preserving the highlight details (i.e. the blown out areas outside) or the shadow details (i.e. the inside underexposed areas) at the expense of the other is what you'd like to do.
What you can also do is take 2 frames.. one exposing for the highlights and one exposing for the shadows, and then manually blend them together into a single image in, say, photoshop.

| | | | Yeah, the light at the end of that hallway is so much more intense than the light inside the hallway, that you can't get a single shot balance. If you meter for the interior, then the end will blow out. If you meter for the end, then there won't be enough light in the hallway and it will be too dark.
When you're seeing this with your naked eye, the same thing is happening; you just don't notice it.
As for the grain, depends on the camera, ISO, etc. Yokes is right in that the only way to get an even exposure all around is a series of progressively more exposed shots which you can then combine. If you've never done HDR go on flickr and just search; you'll come up with thousands.

| | | | Not exactly what you were going for more than likely, but I think a shot from further up (toward the outside) with the pine trees as your main subject, but still inside enough to see the outline of the building would be neat. At least IMO.
Don't really know what to say about the technical stuff. I'm more of a straight 'explorer" than photographer.
