The Sky, My Temple
I shot this photo with my Canon D70 , I took 5 snapshot and process them in Photomatix and afterward I used Photoshop some fitting . Someone one sentence told me , “ If you ask me if my photo is an HDR I considered that I failed to make a good picture . ” I think the paired way , I wish over the top HDR like I like more natural HDR , I care HDRs .
I bang perish to Wat Thai Los Angeles , a Buddhistic temple in North Hollywood , I do n’t practice Buddhism but I suppose the synagogue by itself is gorgeous and I feel good going there . Whenever I see a chance for a beautiful sundown I go there to shoot , and a sunset fits that temple like a glove .

Pink Sky, Blue City
I went out Sunday night with the idea that I would take a few HDRs for the contest . Unfortunately , I could n’t seem to make most of them attend very dear — I need to experiment more .
This one of the WTC was exact at sunset with a 5D Mark III . I bracket 5 exposure ( -3 to +3 ) and rend them into the Photoshop with the Merge to HDR Pro script . Using the presets , the Monochrome one looked gravid to me . I split - toned it in Lightroom to make the sundown more obvious , and tada . I consider I ’ll be using this for my desktop background for a while .

Naxxar Chuc
Cameras were pack and we were on our direction to do a attribute shoot for Engel & Völkers , when the Lord’s Day hit my eye as we walked in the phantasm of a church in Naxxar , Malta . With one hand free I maneuvered the iPhone 5 out of my pocket , drop to my knees to honor the god of light ( of class referring to the iPhone camera).I set it in HDR musical mode , aligned the camera with the building and the sun to catch a lense flare , all while my co-worker was express mirth over the fact that I had a bag full of expensive gear mechanism , and still pick out to shoot with the phone . The best camera is still the one in your pocket 🙂 Finally I adjusted levels in Photoshop and tote up some sharpness to bring out the roughness and grime of the Maltese window dressing .

I have a 110 naut mi round trip commute and it takes me past a local reservoir . I have always wanted to sprout the sunset over the lake .

Goldfinger
HDR is like a gun : Powerful , but do by with aid or it ’ll backfire on ya . I endeavor to use HDR to replicate realness , get my photos close to what my eyes see ( as match to further from it).However , it ’s hard to repeat the feeling of peace of mind I receive standing next to this giant star on my travels this week through the Sukhothai ruins of Thailand .

So while I was inside babysitting , I decide to try and go for an HDR shot using natural process shape of Sora and Cloud from Kingdom Hearts that my brother - in - law owned . So I place them on the countertop , set my camera to shoot a bracketed chronological sequence of 5 exposures and nail the merge of the shot in Photoshop .

Golden Wheat
I have always used HDR for eminent demarcation scenes but the challenge put down in shooting one after the contest was announced . I was at one of the top ten paragliding land site in the Earth i.e. Bir , Himachal Pradesh , India and at sundown discovered a wheat field get off by the golden light of the setting sun . dart against the sun generally would lead in silhouttes only but thanks to HDR , I could get the details of the wheat field from the overexposed shot . However , as is the case with all paraglising sites , winds were nimble and hence , the crinkly stalking were immune to developing a sharper image .

Leafless Oak
This is a 3 dead reckoning HDR taken to capture the prosperous luminance of the Morning sun as it splash it ’s irradiation across the nearly leafless oak tree tree diagram that dominates my front pace . I tried to go for a more lifelike image that lacks the over sharpening effects and hyper chroma that is so common in many HDR images .
The figure of speech were shoot with Sony Nex-3n , and shot in RAW in Aperture Priority at an exposure spacing of 2.0 EV . The images were preprocessed in Light Room and then mix in Photomatix 5 .

Williamsburg Bridge
Although I had been biking in Manhattan all throughout the Winter , I had not felt that my hands could be warm and speedy enough to fritter away substantial DSLR . But this day was the first above 50 degrees . So , the first affair I did ? I hit the Williamsburg Bridge for some intake . Its combination of concentric steel girders and high contrast red and grey look make an infinite retroversion apparently pointing to nothing , allow form and null .
