iso [i, saw] sky city

Photo by Out Of Focus | Title - Easy Money - DRI + HDR
f10.0 | focal length : 11mm | ISO 100 | shutter speed : various | flash : did not fire
| Description |

One of my first HDR photo is of this tower. Since then I've gotten a little better so it's time for another visit and see how different I could do it this time.. Not that much different I should say.. Hehe!!

The clear skies helped made the photo.. cleaner. Even caught 4 stars at the top left corner.

| About the photo.. |

A 7 photo HDR for the tower, 4 photo DRI for the 'Sky City' lights and one single photo for the sky, tower glass pane and the red banner.

A long exposure for the sky allows me to capture the stars and a some blue tint which was enhanced in CS3.

Downside with the long exposure was a lot of glare turned up because of the spotlight bouncing off the tower and onto my lens. Took me half an hour to clear all 38 of them..

Some noise reductions and a little sharpening as required.

| One more thing.. |

It's my wife's birthday today. Love you baby.. with all my heart.

Firstly, happy birthday to your wife, best wishes :)

Second, I like the perspective on this photo, and as usual, and this applies to other photos as well - superb, your post-processing is always impressive, no doubt. You have your own uniqueness that distinct from others. Keep it up man.

Since it's your wife special day.
I won't take your special time, wasting reading this crap comment i've made..

To Mrs OOF..
You should be proud of the man called OOF.

He's so good at his work commitment,family & of course his photography..
Need i say more..

Look..look..
A photo of a Roulette, hinting he might hit the jackpot..
A trip on the cruise..perhaps or even better..

Nonetheless,
Wishing a happy birthday to Mrs OOF.
May all the dream's you always wish for might come to reality with a special present from Mr OOF himself..Amin..
