When I posted Riverdance #7 I said that I wouldn't post any more shots unless something eventful happened ;– as you can see, it has – in fact two things have changed. First, it's now laying almost entirely on its side, and second, if you compare this shot to one of the first I put up, you will see that it's acquired a couple of large tanks on its hull. Apparently these will be filled with water – to act as ballast – when they try to re-float the ferry at some point over the next few days. In fact, since this was taken a few days ago, two more tanks have been added just to the left of these. If and when they do attempt to re-float it I'll try and be there to photograph it.
Oh, and I haven't posted the EXIF data as this is an HDR, constructed from three bracketed exposures.

This looks amazing. I love how its in the ocean now instead of washed up.

I do love your HDR photos. Hopefully HDR processing will be added as one of your tutorials (hint hint) ;)
comment byMarc at 08:45 PM (GMT) on 13 March, 2008
I'm not sure about the irregular vigneting, but the texture you achieved for the Riverdance is great, it's close to fish skin :)

JUSTIN - High Dynamic Range: part one - Scheduled release date: on or around Friday 28th March 2008.
Shame it's at the bottom and harder to find, may be it would be better placed at the top showing you what is coming next :).
With regards to the image wow just reminds me of a beached whale for some bizarre reason.

I've been doing HDRs for a while but have reached a personal roadblock. This photo alone has insprired me and later tonight I look forward to signing up for your tutorials. BRAVO!!!
wonderful and magical colors - might be a bit too "CGI" for my taste in photography, but it is still jawdropping...
comment bymikelangelo at 09:31 PM (GMT) on 13 March, 2008
very cool!! I'm looking forward to seeing more images of this saga. Love the tones you've got working. Ever since you mentioned the ferry had tipped over, I've been waiting to see it here. nice.
i really enjoy your HDR images. I just downloaded the software today and am enjoying messing around with it. Quick question...would I be correct in assuming there is still a good bit of photoshop going on in the images after the you've rendered the HDR image?

Wow, amazing capture and pp. I'd love to see more of this series.
comment byphotonscribbles at 07:15 AM (GMT) on 14 March, 2008
how do u manage capturing with such brilliance:) congratz!
Very lovely. I had to look twice to figure out what the tanks on the side was. Hope you grab some exposures of it when they try to get it floating again.

Wonderful. good Chromasia style, :)

Can you remember where we parked the.... Oh bugger.
Excellent photo, with lovely colours. I too can't wait for the tutorial!

simply stunning, as usual... a little confused though, blending three images of a moving subject, the sea, would this not smooth out the waves etc cos is doesn't appear to be the case or did you mask out this area?
comment bydjn1 at 02:13 PM (GMT) on 14 March, 2008
Thanks all.
x. 10: the whole image is an HDR.
baogiang: I used Photomatix Pro to create this image.
YETi: I've amended the tutorials members page and placed the 'next month' blurb much nearer the top - thanks for the suggestion.
Brooks: yes, this was taken into Photoshop after it was tonemapped (mostly to adjust contrast and saturation).
Padraig: Photomatix Pro has an option to minimise movement (either moving objects or ripples). Sometimes this works well, and other times it doesn't. On this occasion it did a good job.
comment bymooch at 03:02 PM (GMT) on 14 March, 2008
I do like this. I looks like selective desaturation due to the vibrant hull.
comment byJosef Renklint at 12:02 PM (GMT) on 15 March, 2008
Wow, amazing. What is that?
comment byGeorg Tavonius at 12:30 PM (GMT) on 15 March, 2008
I don't get, how you ever get this look to your pictures, but its genious. Do you take students ;-)
This shot is an addition to my few favourit shots. Keep it up!

Hey,
I love looking at your "before" images. I would love to see you post your before images more often because I love looking at them. I understand that may be hard for an HDR....but maybe you could show the image after the combination of the images, and before the curves, levels, sharpening, etc etc etc.
Nice image by the way haha! Almost forgot that part!
Love looking at your photos man, keep it up
Jess

Like a dead fish (a Giant one!) - fantastic colors and I love the way you processed it - the end of an Odissey..- Congrats Mr Alchemist :)
Great effect, framing and exposure, well done.
The image processing makes this image very impressive. Congrats !
One of you best. Love all the work here. Congratulations.

great HDR, fantastic!
what amazes me about these images is how none of it appears still. this is such a contrast to the way i photograph. i'm jealous.
That's a great use of HDR, I love the composition and the details.. wonderful shot
