Lloyds Building
Another quick post I'm afraid, this was another from a recent trip to the big smoke, I managed to walk around all day and came away with very little. I've processed this one in photomatix (although I tend to use dynamic photo for HDR stuff) then I tweaked it with some presets I have in Lightroom, it might be a bit overcooked for some but it was another one of those experimental things.Labels: commercial photography, HDR, London, photomatix

I was looking at a friends photos on a certain social networking site and decided to play with some older photos as it's been far too cold to go out for landscapes recently, although I'll be out pretty quick if any snow settles. Anyway these two have been fairly heavily processed to get their full dynamic range (HDR photography) you can make it look a little more realistic but I was experimenting today. CS2 & 3 has HDR facilities and also photomatix is a popular bit of software, if you are into this sort of thing. It basically relies on you capturing multiple exposures of a scene to capture all the detail in the sky and also the relative dark land and then the software joins the images and you tweak the results. This is done by setting your exposure compensation to (typically) +2, 0 & -2 for each image. It's handy if you don't have time to fool around with graduated filters and the like. Anyway hope everyone had a good new year.
