The Long View

The Long View

Uploaded: January 16, 2010

Description


---------
Another view of The Waterworks condos in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Created five different "exposures" in Adobe Camera Raw and then blended into an HDR image using Photomatix (stand-alone version).
-----
Also removed some trash cans, cloned a hubcap onto the wheel of the red truck, dodged the sky a little along with some of the foreground rocks and weeds.

I'll post the original in the discussion area.

Very Nicely Done Like this view better than the other.

Seems like a great place to shoot water fowl landing & taking off from the comfort of your own balcony.

Happy Shooting
