HDR Twilight
Tone Mapped, HDR of three exposures of Brisbane at Twilight.
I upped the saturation a little during the hdr process to bring out the colour gradient in the sky more. Also had to crop off the left hand side as the contrast in the darker treed section was terrible.
Taken during the 30th Sept Brisbanites Flickr meet at Kangaroo Point Cliffs.
This one has now exceeded 1,000 views too :)
See where this picture was taken.

wow :-)
Great HDR shot, David. It's not overdone like many of the other HDR's around. I like it!
Very beautifull, I like it.

Very nice, and as beaumitchell said it isn't overdone
Excellent David!
Thanks everyone :)
I've found turning down the "Strength" setting does wonders for the realism of the shot.

You done good on your Brisbane nite shoot David.
As you mentioned, the Blue Hour was not spot on.
I feel it was, just Photoshop CS has not allowed what the camera took. It is editing to what PS CS thinks is best.
Try a program that allows not auto editing.
The HDR looks excellant
David
I see you photograph in JPG. Maybe that is where my blue hours have a blueir sky as I photograph in RAW. Then my L lens also helps. Your compositions are spot on, just your point and shoot verses a DSLR.
I also see you only used 10 seconds. At that time 15 seconds may have been better. I use 20-bulb.
Thanks John :)
The lack of RAW is one of the reasons I'm actively saving up for a dSLR. An L lens would be great too, but that'll take a lot more saving....

The L lens is worth the invest ment. I love mine!

Seen in the interestingness archives. (?)
Oh cool :) And I notice you got one in to Explore too Cyron :)
As did this other guy who wasn't with us, taking a panorama very similar to yours. How freaky is that ?
good shot...

you need to rob a bank for the L lens.... mug an old lady, that sort of thing....

It is an excellent shot.
hehehe need a camera body first ;) Hmmmm, now to find a little old lady with a brand new 400D and a case full of L lenses....
Wow, David, this is an excellent shot! I like the sunset reflection at the side of the skyscrapers.
Thanks Margot, I'm quite happy with how this turned out myself :)
wow!
LOL !!!!! oh dear, sorry but that really made me laugh !!! my imagination is too vivid sometimes- thanks !!
Oh, lovely!
Thanks Greg and you too Donna!
Helen, I think you're safe, as you carry a 350D and your other half has the L lens ;)
nice shot :-)
Hey thanks :-)
ooooh that was below the belt....... you can go off people you know !!!
Oh I meant no offence, I just figured with all this talk of mugging people for their Canon dSLRs and L lenses, I figured you might be getting mildly worried ;^)
LOL
An interesting read David.
That work is superb mate. Your light management is excellent
Thanks Kev :) 'twas a pretty reasonable shoot, given the light conditions. I don't think we were shooting from the correct angle to get a vibrant blue sky or maybe the clouds near the horizon changed the dynamic but this hdr turned out quite well because of the pink/orange in the sky methinks.
Brilliant HDR work!

Seen in a discussion of Night Images. (?)
stunning shot.
Wow! Lovely work!
Great shot - the hdr works very well here.
Thanks everyone - I've had the most success with buildings and HDR, some of my earlier HDR stuff is, well, awful now I look back on it.
wow....this rocks.
Thanks Wayne - I'm quite pleased with how this came out.
Stunning....I love this!
Thanks for sharing in The Color Purple theme at:
The World Through My Eyes
Thanks Micky :) I knew this would stand out a bit more than the purple flowers I originally posted!
Nice colours.
Twilight is my favourite time of the day.

Thanks Johnno, I like twilight too, probably 'cause it's so much easier to get to than dawn ;-)

Ha ha type casting.
It is indeed, Kathleen. Although I've done better without the HDR since I took this shot.
See:
Incredible work.
Thanks :)

i like the colors and the texture of the water.
ilikepeppers - Thanks :)
absolutley breathtaking! instant favorite!! :]
Awwww wow this is beautiful......the lighting is amazing
Wow! This is so gorgeus!, i dont kow theres just something about pictures like the way this one is were its almost dark, the clouds are cloudy, and the way the water is, makes me the happeist person ever=)
allyssa=) - Thanks :)
yw=) and i was wondering did you edit this picture or is that really the color?
allyssa=) - It's a process where you take three (or more) photos of different exposures and then blend them to get a bigger range of tones (i.e. good shadow and highlight detail). Saturation was bumped a little in the process, but the colours were similar to the eye.
great photo
GREAT HDR!! well done!
you nailed it!
I feel like I'm home again! It's the place where I'd go to remind myself how beautiful life is :)
hapy holidays!!!
