The Clocktower

    Time for another bit of drama.
    This is the clocktower at Roath Park lake, Cardiff.
    It's called the Scott Memorial, and was built in 1915.
    3 exposures, 1 stop apart, merged and tonemapped.
    I'm not usually a fan of overcooked HDR, but it just seemed to work for me.
    See LARGE.

      I agree, the HDR works well this shot (and should be used carefully)!

      You're right, Roger. There are few things in life worse than "over-cooked" HDR's and it never ceases to amaze me how many folk think that they are good.

      This is a super image, suitably enhanced by the controled application of the HDR tool. Great. Love it. Instant fave! Nuffsed!
