Photo of the day

21/365 - Sunshine Plaza by HDR

So I decided to give the HDR technique a bit of a crack. 5 photos shot at 1/2 exposure intervals. The pictures were then brought together using photomatix, before final touch ups done in Photoshop.

My initial thoughts are it’s not too bad for a first attempt, but there’s a lot of room for improvement. I need to work on getting less noise (it REALLY bugs me just how much there is in the photo), along with perhaps my composition of this shot. I’m also kicking myself for not having my polariser lens on there, as the water reflections are annoying me a bit too.

Constructive criticism most definitely welcome. The tutorial for HDR can be found here: http://www.stuckincustoms.com/hdr-tutorial
