Fast Food Fantasy HDR

Fast Food Fantasy HDR by Steve Crane.
This photo was taken several years ago, at the same time as this one. They were both shot in JPEG on a 3 megapixel point and shoot. There is a lot of dynamic range in that scene so having made quite a few HDR images from a single RAW, I decided to see what was possible from a single JPEG. I am quite happy with the result.

It's interesting how only 2 fast food chains are clearly visible, but it somehow translates to a fast food megopolis of sin...

It's retarded. You can't get your way through all the people and the McDonalds have a hundred tills and the queues are an hour long. It's insane man. McDonalds have the worst coffee in the world anyway.

Lol, yeah. I lived off McDonald's for like 20 days where after I tried out something else... the only reason why people go there so much is because it's relatively cheap. But their food is disgusting lol.

I haven't been to CC in ages. I live in Strand and find that the only time I need to leave the Helderberg basin for shopping is when I want to visit Orms. Somerset Mall is more than hectic enough.
