Time for a quick change away from HDR. Still love HDR though so hopefully can get some done in the next few days if i can buy time :P These series of night shots have been taken quite a while back (when i don't know anything about HDR yet :)) All these are 1 single RAW shot and have been sitting ducks on my hard drive haha!
This building is Elder Hall which is also part of University of Adelaide. Lots of musical events are held here during the year. Nice organ pipes with awesome sound in there!
This is another vertorama from my sunny afternoon is the blist of a english day. can'twait to do it again. :-)
this vertorama is the first one i have done with no hdr treatment at all. i'm very proud of this picture. i think i'll do some more this way. it is great way to understand how you control light manually. i really love HDR but you can't always rely on it, other wise i'll never understand the true power of the light.
taken on my nikon D300 using a Sigma 10-20mm edited in photoshop. did have a littleplay with some DRI treament on the clouds and the blueness, using a -2 stop exposure.
hope you like flickr world?
'While you were sleeping'
Abu Dhabi, 24th Jan 2013 at 7AM.
I specialize in aerial photography and spend a lot of time shooting subject from helicopters. One thing I miss about shooting from a moving aircraft however is stability. I love HDR photography and to shoot 5 or 7 bracketed exposures where the longest one can last several seconds or even minutes, you need a stable, solid platform. Your camera has to be fixed to a sturdy tripod - plain and simple.
This is why I always wanted to shoot from the roof of the World Trade Center Tower 1 in Abu Dhabi when it reached the 98th floor! From its peak, I could have a true bird's eye perspective of the town below without the drawbacks of the aircraft as a shooting platform. (ok, I guess I'm a bit spoiled, lol)
It took a long time to secure the permit to access the construction site and when I set the date to shoot the town, another rare thing happened; low rolling fog. Any cityscape photographer will be able to tell you that there is NOTHING as beautiful as the fog over the city in the early morning hours. What an incredible blessing and lucky it was to be shooting from the tallest floor in town, as the only photographer ever to be allowed on its roof on the morning with fog which happens once or twice a year at most!
I was so excited when I saw the view in front of me that I completely forgot to look at the platform I was standing on; a wooden scaffolding on the OUTSIDE of the building, over 330 meters high. I was too happy to shit myself from fear! I used Manfrotto Magic Arms to fix the camera onto the scaffolding handrail as the ledge I was standing on was only 30 cm wide and there was no space whatsoever to spread the tripod.
I quickly snapped 7 bracketed exposure to created a dynamically blended cityscape of Abu Dhabi.
I've won several photo competitions worldwide with this shot but to me, what matters the most is the thrill which goes into producing a single frame such as this one. The greatest reward I get from photography is a sense of satisfaction and self fulfillment.
Gear: Canon 5dmk2 and Canon TS-E 17mm f4.0L. This lens is quite possibly the best piece of glass you can buy for Canon or any other DSLR maker. Promote Remote Control was used for quick and painless exposure bracketing.
Software: I started in Lighroom 4.1 where I pre-processed the bracketed exposures and exported them as 16-bit TIFF files to Oloneo PhotoEngine for HDR tonemapping. Once I got my HDR base image, I exported it as a 16-bit TIFF image to Photoshop 5.1 where the real work begain. I'm using dynamic blending technique where various patches are applied across the image in order to 'normalize' the dynamic range of the image. I strive for a natural, if somewhat stylized look in my work. I most definitely dislike the cartoonish, flat looking and overcooked HDR images.
Primary grading was accomplished with Color Efex Pro and Nik Software Viveza 2. To sharpen the image, I use NIK Software Output Sharpener which I highly recommend. It does what it's supposed to do without degrading your image with nasty halos and excessive texture structuring.
Enjoying a period of non HDR work. Although I have merged a lighter exposure image in PS to reveal subtle details in the shadows of the boats hull and wheelhouse. I love HDR, but sometimes less is more with regards to processing.
At this rate I'll be looking to buy some Lee Filters (if I can find any in stock).....

Once again I hope you all are having an AWESOME weekend.
This is a HDR picture of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse somewhere along the Oregon Coast. The thing that I love about this photo is that wave hitting the rock and the lighthouse itself. (MAN I LOVE HDR)
Me and my uncle (www.flickr.com/photos/fresnatic/) went here when I went to go visit him not to long ago in the middle of April. This was a fun day because the two days before this was nothing but RAIN filled skies.
I hope you like it:0)
Have a nice week, and
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. I'll get to your photos throughout the week.
peace out!!!!!!
Yesterday morning I was quietly (or at least that was I wanted to show) driving toward the mountains, when Irene, watching the clouds, said: daddy, you are a big big cloud.
Does she feels my unspeakably need to disappear, to be blown away, to re-arrange my being under new forms?
In the meanwhile, I can see the red fillet. Holding the scissors.
Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand--A bit over the top and maybe a cheap trick but I love HDR. This is only the second image I've posted using Topaz Star Effects and it gives me some ideas.

Whenever I take the "Which Disney Character Are You?" tests, I always end up as Lumiere, the fun-loving entertainer and all around service-oriented guy. It's true I love to serve and fun is a driving force in my life. If it's not fun, I'm not interested. The song "Be Our Guest" is almost my anthem. I love to make people feel welcome and I will do practically anything for someone else. If there is a person in need...

Finally got a decent sunset shot here in Santa Barbara. This beach is South-facing and so the sun was setting in line with the shore which was a bit more unique than many of the cliche sunsets (which I also love).
HDR in Photomatix, Layered in PSE9

This is from about a month and a half ago on a walk I did through downtown Pittsburgh. Like my shot a few uploads ago, the flare got diffused by the clouds, and I was trying to get the signs in the shot as well, and this was the best I could do without a wide angle!
This is another reason that I love HDR...it would be impossible to get the building that well exposed as well as the blue of the sky without it!
I hope you all enjoy your weekends, and GO USA!!!!
I don't mind invitations, but please no big, shiny, flashing, glitter graphics, they will be deleted. Also, please contact me if you would like to use my pictures for any reason, as all rights are reserved. Thanks!

Well, I am living in this building called 'Seminaire Saint Sulpice"(Paris) it was build in 1704 and I am living on 3rd floor of this building and from tht turn , steps are made up of wood and every day I can listen to TAKK TAKK(sounds) of my shoes...(This is why I love HDR, it's even captured very minute detail of the light).
