Amazing!

cool

Very Strongly Recommended - View On Black

Well, it was bound to happen - my first HDR with the 5D Mark II. I used Bridge/ACR 5.2 to convert these RAW files and then processed them in Photomatix accordingly. LR 2.2 is purported to be released on 12/16 with support for the 5DMII. Let's hope it's true.

Great use of the exit ramps in the composition! Would love to see the highlights in the foreground parking lot brought down a little - would accentuate the streetlights and the light reflecting from the exit ramp. Sweet shot!

Thanks, everyone.

- Hey Jeff, I made some edits to the parking lot, bringing down the exposure and brightness in the overall area. What do you think now?

This has just great tonality. Nicely done - very good use of HDR to create a mildly-odd instead of utterly-fanciful look. Love the framing, though it might work perspective-corrected, too. There's something a little weird near the corner at the top right (shadow next to the building).

Excellent.

Brian Matiash says:

I agree, I wasn't sure that that was. I did some free transforming in PS to remove that building altogether, it was annoying me. Here's the new crop.

That's exactly what I was thinking of Brian - the streetlights are more dominant in the foreground now. The puddle in the parking lot was very hot before you tweaked it. Me likes.

Chris Halford says:

I like the lines from the car headlights. Good composition too.

But always HDR? I think it's time for a challenge. Make some LDR shots work because of what can't be captured. Come on... don't shy away from a challenge.

Brilliant, and the sky is luminous. Can't help but wonder where you were when you took it - suspended in midair perhaps?

Splendid! I like the tone of the concrete...aged and tempered looking, something only time and harsh winters would produce.
