Fast Food Fantasy HDR

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.

McDonalds have the worst [insert junkfood-related noun here], don't touch it man! ;P

Adriaan90 says:

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.
