Looking Upwards at HSBC
The marvels of the HSBC building - truly a splendid piece of architecture. The architect was Lord Norman Foster, and there is an absence of an internal supporting structure. Basically, Foster put all the guts of a building on the exterior and left a large atrium in the middle of it. I think he did the MoMA in Paris as well.
I took a 3 shot HDR of the foyer before - This is a 3 shot HDR of the fire escapes situated outside the building. You can see the reflections of the Cheung Kong and Citibank buildings in the glass.
3 shot HDR: processed in photomatix, photoshop, topaz. I hate the noise in the 50D - lassoed the sky and gaussianed the hell out of it (thanks Suziqb for the tip), cloned out halos, upped sats on reds and toned down yellows. Oh - image is as is - no crop. (trick is to illuminate the AF points and then use that as a leveler).
Can't wait for the 7D's auto leveler. Still torn between selling my EF-S lenses and going full frame 5DmkII, or just getting the 7D for the flash trigger/leveler/awesomeness.
I think this might just survive a DMU.
