Chilean Buildings HDR

[richardpsic]

Hi everybody! This is my second post in the before and after section and it's about an HDR too. I took this photo in the city of Vina del Mar in Chile, this buildings are at the beach, is a beautiful place for vacations...
Any way, I took three photographs this time with different shutter speed but the same aperture and merge it using PS HDR function, a very similar process I used to create the Desert HDR photo in this thread.

The originals with f8.0/8s; f8.0/1.6s and f8.0/1.3s respectively:


And after playing with the HDR curves and fixing the skew produced for the point of view and the wide angle lens... this is the resulting image:



The only thing I don't like of this picture is the big street light but the rest I love it
What do you think?

I like it, I agree about the street light, it is very distracting, great work though!

I love the big street light - the photo looks like something a professional would have taken - well done!

Nice work.

looks great, I need to start trying this hdr stuff, in your last exposure it looks like it is night time, what time of day is this?

I´ve been there and the shot it is just amzing.
Did you use a tripod? or you have a steady hand???
Very well done.



I like the street light... it gives it something special.

Looks great if you're going for the painting kind of look.
