Suvarnabhumi on Fire! #1

LARGE View

 

Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok, Thailand. Taken on the day of my flight back to Dubai (in the giant double decker Airbus A380 by the way! A very smooth journey in an awesome airplane).

 

6 exposures Digital Blending shot handheld, using my Nikkor Fisheye at f/2.8, and Auto ISO on the D300 with minimum shutter speed limited to 1/30s. Therefore the ISO for all the exposures varies from ISO 200 to 1600 (max. ISO also fixed by me), and the shutter speed never goes below 1/30s, therefore no need for a tripod in those conditions.

 

The manual blending with layer masks and paintbrushes was a bit tedious and it took me over 2 hours to process this shot.

 

Many thanks to my buddy Grant for telling me about this Auto ISO / Shutter Speed limit feature of the D300, which is really handy for handheld bracketed shots.
