Explore Front page

This was quite a surprise for me. A second photo this week got onto the front page of Flickr explore selection. This makes it 5 photos in total that got there. Thank you everyone for visiting, commenting and faving my photos at Flickr :)

Screen in the Liverpool Cathedral

The screen is in the middle. There were preparations for some award show (or something like it) when I was there. So that’s why it was there. I went for a little darker and cooler look for this shot. I also did double tone-mapping here to get even bore details in this shot. For anyone who hasn’t heard of double tone-mapping yet, it means,  that when you process your photo in Photomatix, and you finish, you just hit tone-mapping again. On photos like this, where you have a lot of detail, this can create very nice results.

Blue walkway in Coventry

What a nice day it was. I took this close to the end of October 2010. It was really warm and sunny :). This walkway is right next to a big transport museum in Coventry, Uk. I really regret that I went there without a tripod. I have many photos, but very few good ones. But there definitely will be another visit one day :)

Something to compare

I know that some of you like to see the difference, between the shots that came out of the camera, and the final HDR result. So here are the three original brackets that were used for the photo.

Completely calm water

I was quite surprised, when I found these canals in Birmingam, UK. I wasn’t expecting anything like these. But It was a very nice surprise, as they gave me some great reflections.

UK is great for old buildings, which are again great fro HDR shots. This one if from Coventry.

I edited this photo 11 months ago, but I always kept it in my backup folder. And now, as I had no time to edit new ones, here it is :)
