oops, never mind question about vantage point. Perhaps I'll read things more closely in the future

Great shot. I have to agree with your comment though, about it being a bit low in contrast. Also, there's a bit of a ghost image of what looks like the top of the Chrysler building right in the middle. You had a good vantage point for this one! Jersey side right?

This one isn't particularly my favorite and I almost deleted it a few times. Not enough contrast for my taste. I do however appreciate the support.

Sure! Like you said, just credit and link me and maybe take a photo of whatever your finished product is for me to see. I always like to see what people do with my photos.

This photo hardly does Gotham any justice. Hopefully you make it there one day. I live only 10 minutes away and I still get excited when I go.

This was a 5 shot HDR manually set up. No real trick to it. Just mounted it on my tripod and used the release cord and I'm good to go.

I think it's a great city shot. I would say something about trying to darken the sky a bit, but it's New York and a dark sky would be a bit of a stretch on the imagination.

One question: Is that some form of glare/reflection towards the center of the image or something else?

sullivan1985 In reply to Leap [2006-11-02 08:05:20 +0000 UTC]

I dont know what that is. At first I though there was some crap on my monitor. I'm gonna have to clean that up with PS.

Lovely stuff. So...this is that High Density Range technique? I saw something about this in a photo mag. Is it something built into the camera, or a software thing? I think you take bracketed images and somehow sandich them for more detail in the shadowlands, something like that?

sullivan1985 In reply to fulcanelli [2006-11-01 19:35:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah its basically bracketing. You could either let the camera braken for you, or do it manually buy changing exposure times. Then using Photoshop or Photomatix the computer take all the images and balances it out to create an equally evenly exposed photo across the entire image instead of having point that are to washed out or dark.

I'm impoverished and use PaintShopPro. Come to think of it, there is a brightness/contrast tool called Histogram Equalize. I bet it does a poor man's job of it.

Thanks.

Leap In reply to fulcanelli [2006-11-01 20:35:45 +0000 UTC]

Histogram equalize, if I remember correctly, is for single image use to attempt to put everything in the same exposure range. Don't quote me on that though, it's been a while since I've used such a tool.

I do believe you are right on that. But...don't quote me.
