Weekend hangout :-)

Viewed in Explore on Nov 20, thank you very much for your nice comments

 

Update 11/26/08: As per the suggestion of Rajesh & www.flickr.com/photos/pradiproy/, I have reposted this photo with added blue masking & reduced the curve distortion......thank you all for good feedback ....this improves my work :-)

 

Thanks giving is approaching , I'm sure we all will buy gifts for our relatives, friends and little ones, whatever we can in spite of economic downtime.....hope this photo will give a boost to go to our nearest mall to spend some good time for shoping and buying gifts for thanks giving.

 

Location: Westfield Mall, San Francisco downtown.

 

Tech Note: DRI mapping of 6 exposures taken in Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye. This was my conscious effort not to add saturation/color treatment. This is just a passionate effort of 4+ hours of component based 6 exposures blending. Beleive me I was tired after this continuous effort but the result was damn satisfactory to manage every nook & corner of the 180 wide angle frame.

 

Please consider clicking the LARGE view to see every detail of shops/advertisement :-). I wish I could show you 16 X 20 mega large format print in matt paper LOL :-)

 

Another shot of the same mall here :-)
