Overseas Passenger Terminal, Circular Quay West (HDR)

[Octane (Humayun)]

Hi all,

Once again, on the same night as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House images.

These are both 3-image HDR compositions.

The first is f/4 at 50mm, the other is f/5.6 at 105mm.

I hope you enjoy this lot of images as much as I have enjoyed processing them.

Comments and critique are most welcome.

Regards,
Humayun

I enjoy them very much! BEautiful processing H.

Mike,

Thank you; I'm glad you enjoy them.

You'll notice that even though both images were taken at different focal lengths, apart from the sky, you can imagine that the second shot could be a crop of the first. This is due to me aspiring to keep my post-processing as consistent as possible. White balance is your best friend.

Regards,
Humayun

Hi Humayun,

Stunning!

The first one works the best because of the composition. The ghosts from the
multiple exposures works to good effect. Very atmospheric.

Best regards

Ive got to say H that these HDR Images you present here are all over the top........Possibly ( they are )the best ive seen.
Champion stuff your work is appreciated...cheers Kev.

Gary and Kev,

Gary, I agree, the first shot seems better than the second; too tight a crop, perhaps?

Kev, *blush*; you're too kind.

Regards,
Humayun

That's a fantastic HDR shot H !
I love the first one especially, because of the framing, but both are great.

You've done well, bringing out the full dynamic range without overdoing it.
That's what it's all about but unfortunately so many times I see HDR's that are way overdone and look very unnatural.

I really like this one Humayun !

Excellent work.
