Over the next week or so I'll be posting at least five more shots of the DIFC, but most of those concentrate on the building itself. While I was there though I thought I'd shoot a few HDR self-portraits, of which this is the only one that worked out.
Interestingly, it was constructed using FDR Tools rather than Photomatix Pro. I've only had a quick chance to play with it, but it seems to produce more naturalistic results than Photomatix while being more flexible than Phtoshop's Merge to HDR facility. When I've had a chance to use it a bit more I'll let you know what I think.
I haven't posted the EXIF data, but the seven shot sequence was shot at 70mm, f/8.0, with a 1 EV spacing.
This is a great shot! Unusual idea, perfect result. I really like it. Makes me want to go out for photos more...

I love the busyness of this photograph. So many lines and then we see you in the bottom center. Just Great.

Cold and metallic, you're absorbed by the structure.

Love it. Somewhat confusing, which is good.

Stunning!
I find myself shaking my head when I look at your images. It happens every day now.
How do you "find" these images, David? I would've just walked by this building.
You´ve got a gift and I'm so glad you use it and share your work.
Looking forward to tomorrows image.

Great use of the vertical lines! The toning makes it kind of a spooky self portrait

Great symmetry, nice image!
that uncomfortable moment when you realise your self portrait contains the secret of your success..... ;-)
