Waterfront Place

This is a 5 exposure tone-mapped HDR image created with the help of Photomatix.

Some of the exposures were merely changes in the polarizing filter's orientation, but others were actual exposure adjustments.

See where this picture was taken.

Wow! Just noticed this pic is at #192 on the Explore top 500 for today (24th July, 2006 GMT+10)

    Thanks!

    Ah damn, I just noticed this image didn't upload correctly (see the broken horizontal line halfway down ? It's not meant to be there).

    I'll have to re-upload when I get home.

    Ok, I've finally re-uploaded the image without the slight imperfection.
    It might not bother anyone else, but I'm happier about it now :)

    Awesome!!!! The colors are amazing! :)

    And the cool thing was, the building really was that colour. I agree the lower right is a bit off, mainly due to alignment issues on the 5 exposures, but my key concern was keeping the building itself aligned properly.

    I just wish I'd managed to get the foreground stuff lined up properly too - but that's what you get from a cheap tripod.
