Tower Bridge


Here I share a night picture of one of the most emblematic buildings that London has to offer, the Tower Bridge, this suspension bridge is over the River Thames and it is located very close to the Tower Hill underground station. I have to say that this picture is a combination of patience and a great resistance to cold weather.

Generating HDR Images - Post 2


Here i share a second HDR picture taken in Liverpool, as you can see, the appearance of black is all over the photo and this is for the reason that the original shot presented poorly  illumination due to day conditions, however this make the picture looks tenebrous and worth the work and time of HDR processing. To generate it, I followed the same procedure described in my last post.

Generating HDR Images

I wanted to try high dynamic range (HDR) technique for a while and finally i got the time to do it, this picture was taken in Finchley Central London and as you can see, is software manipulated. I did not know much about HDR but the procedure is very simple, to create the picture below this is what i did. 

Step 1 The photo should be capture in RAW format and this is to manipule the exposure later with an edition photography software.
Step 2 I saved the same picture with three different exposures(+1, 0 and -1).
Step 3 Using a HDR generator and the three pictures with the different exposures the picture was created.
Step 4 Finally a little retouching was made to sharp and properly light the picture.
