Depending on your position on the street it can be as dark as evening when the buildings are covering the sun in just the right way.
This is a selective colour version of this picture www.flickr.com/photos/84768790@N05/7764678838/in/set-7215... It was taken at Canary Wharf, London during the 2012 Olympics. This is 3 exposures with -1+ stops bracketing, then Photomatix for HDR and tonemapping treatment, and finally Photoshop for the finishing touches.

This photo was taken on a short trip I did just after work one day abt 2 months ago. We had fantastic weather in our area, but further south it was really pouring down. Seeing this I had to get out of the car and try to catch the contrast between the warm afternoon sun and the grey rainy weather in the south.
Single exposure of 1/160 sec at 140mm, f/8 and ISO 100,
Please tell me what you think. And what YOU think might have done the picture better.

First of all, this hotel’s footprint is very odd, very random; almost as if the architect was moonlighting as a cubism artist.
But then the midday sunlight reflecting and refracting across the brick facade?
Absolutely delightful!

The views are amazing and the sun tries hard, winning sometimes from the clouds and paint some lovely selected pools of light.
Thanks for viewing, M, (*_*)

Yep, I know that selective colour is passé, but I like to keep up the skill in PSE in case it ever becomes popular again. Besides, I sort of like this shot.
Art installation on the Kangaroo Point Bridge during the Brisbane Festival - a month long celebration of art and theatre. Each balloon features different colour combinations.
A selective color variant of Red Riding Hood Getting Back to Nature with the bright red cape being the only colored item.
This 'selective colour' processing isn't something I do a lot of really, but I think it works for this shot to just pick out the lighthouses.
These piers are just so photogenic! I love the way they reach out into the sea like a pair of welcoming arms - they must be a very welcome sight to the fishing boats heading back in to Whitby.
Building on previous hard light creative portraits I've done - inspired by Lindsay Adler's work btw - and if you don't know Lindsay - go check out her fantastic work at lindsayadlerphotography.com - I made some custom gobos ("GOes Before Optics") for my Lightblaster to create a slice of light on my subject.
I wanted blue tones in the shadow area, and used a small beauty dish with grid, and a mild blue gel, on low power to achieve this. I put an orange correction gel in the lightblaster along with the gobo to counter the blue in the lit area. I adjusted the white balance to get skin tones just a little on the warm side of normal - ie dialing the WB down towards blue.
Getting the light strip in the right place is the trickiest bit - and I used the "modelling light" feature on the Nikon flash system that pulses the flash very fast for about 2 seconds so you can see where it will land. The Yongnuo YN622 radio system faithfully sends this instruction so the modelling feature works off-camera too.
Incidentally, my initial plan to use the slave cell in the Lencarta SF600 I was using to provide the blue fill didn't work reliably as the light strip was too constrained to trigger it. So instead of using the YN622N-TX on the camera to trigger the speedlight in the Lightblaster, I mounted one of the receivers on the camera. The YN622 receivers, are actually transceivers. Ie they will act as trigger as well as receiver. They have no display though so you adjust the power of the lighting groups blind so it's not really practical for most use cases. However in this case I could just set the light in manual and adjust the power on the speedlight so this wasn't a problem. Now - how does this solve my triggering issue with the big studio light? Well the YN622 receivers have a hot shoe where you mount the remote light. In this case, I mounted the Lencarta WaveSync trigger on top of the YN622 on the camera, and used both radio systems at the same time. Works like a charm :)
