This is an HDR of the underside of Fleetwood pier, created using three bracketed exposures. Well, to be accurate, it's mostly an HDR, but I used the sky from the underexposed original image as I felt that the sky in the HDR image was too contrasty and noisy.

Nice tones on this image. On a separate note, I was in the Downtown Philadelphia Barnes and Noble bookstore and stood next to a lady who was looking at your "How To Photograph Your Baby" book. I told her that I knew the author (thats a first for me) and that while I hadnt seen inside the book, I was sure that the content will give just what she needs. She bought the book as well as a hardback photo-book on erotic nudes!

Woow, me encanta este HDR. Las tecturas y detalles de la pasarela son excepcionales. Como siempre, otro espectacular trabajo de procesado.

ahh, got it now. Superb, what a tonal range.

nice perspective, but to me it looks more like a 3d digital art than a photograph.
comment bydjn1 at 10:52 PM (GMT) on 22 February, 2008
Richard: thanks.
rhys: thanks for the heads-up - there was a problem with the first version I uploaded but it's fixed now.
s.a.: I realise that HDR images aren't to everyone's taste but the reason I like them is that they allow me to explore scenes that couldn't be captured by any other means. Well, strictly speaking I suppose this one could have been lit to look this way, but it wouldn't have been an easy shot.

Seems like metal. - really well done...

Gorgeous tone and beautiful capture! Love the mood.

The silvery feel is amazing and strong lines on top and bottom. Awesome.
comment byAzhar at 03:44 PM (GMT) on 23 February, 2008
Hmmm. I like this one. Gives a great sense of space with the perspective you chose. Nice shot.

Thanks all, and my apologies for not posting anything this evening (Saturday) but Libby is full of cold, as is Tabitha. Libby's ok, but Tabby is only happy when being carried, so I didn't manage to get out today. Hopefully they'll both be a bit better tomorrow.

Amazing as usual

What technique did you use to be able to use the sky from the underexposed original? Great picture as usual! LIke a lot the toning in it. A

Bonjour,
Great treatment..Nice perspective..Bravo!
comment bydjn1 at 10:39 AM (GMT) on 25 February, 2008
Abel: I added a copy of the underexposed image as a separate layer then used a mask to reveal the sky.

You would think a photograph shot under a pier would be boring, but this one is interesting.
comment by m at 08:43 PM (GMT) on 25 February, 2008
Thought the tardis was clever but wouldn't want to put it up. This one however I would. I like it :-)

I usualy don´t run out of words, but here... :WOW ! is all I have to say.

comment byClaus at 10:07 AM (GMT) on 26 February, 2008
Cool processing, I just love the way you have iluminated the bottom of the pier!
