Stuck in Customs in Space

Enjoying these two (forgotten) plastic bags. :-D

reflexion

I'm here! :D

3D Gates? How did they know you were using HDR?

Infinite vanishing point

Stuck in Customs in Space by Stuck in Customs.

If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!

I love this shot! It came out wicked.

I used to say wicked a lot in grade school and I still like saying it. This may or may not make me lame, and I can't be objective about such things.

This is the airport in Bangkok, Thailand. I am not sure who the architect is, but it came out quite inspired. Taking photos of beautiful architecture is somewhat of a sport of mine. I want to try to honor the lines and the textures via a good composition and a good HDR treatment.

This is a great pic. It draws you in to some strange scifi world - although presumably it is an airport terminal somewhere? Love the minimal but highly saturated colours and high dynamic range.

Love sci fi, trying to figure out where exactly it belongs ...I think the closest movie I can think of is Outland. Not organic enough for Lexx and not quite dingy enough for Alien. Wonderful look of grand size to it, marvelous job!

coldmountain says:

Truly Fantastic! I'm very curious - do you always use a tripod and take multiple expousres for these kind of shots? Or is there another way...

louisetolman says:

I had to consult a thesaurus to come up with a suitable word for this photo, and I think I've found it - "numinous". I can't wait to see this airport, although I was very fond of the old one! What's so apt about it is how the treatment has emphasised the gold leaf look of the pipework and even the concrete... very Thai. Best photo I've seen in months.
