urban struggle

[sGu]

I captured those trees in between glass buildings on the bank of river thames. They seem to struggle to thrive with less and less natural surroundings.

Yet another HDR image :D

Thanks Mills :D

I really love the building in the top right corner. Do you have any more shots of it? Just its abstraction and shape and colour is phenomenal.

Lots of impact in this shot, everything works from the colours, the angle of tilt and the trees in the middle.....it makes me think of sci-fi films, nice work.

Exquisite! Hard to take my eyes off...

Sorry Andrew, that was the only capture from the spot, I do have another one with tilt looks, not sure if it'll have the same impact as this one, I might dig it out later to have a look.

bikerider & photodawg1, cheers for the kind comment! :D

Thanks Mills :D

This HDR thing is incredible. Looks like I have something else to learn now. Can I do it on my own or do I need another book? I guess it is also time to hit the old "search" button.

You can do it on your own quite easily, I did my first one after 15 minutes of reading instructions, here is a good place for you to start reading (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/hdr.shtml).

:D :D :D

Love the picture, you've made the office look more interesting than it actually is (I work in the building on the right of your pic)

You're right about the trees. But you forgot to show the fake tree nestled inbetween the buildings! This is not my pic, just googled for it:

Cheers mate! Can't believe I missed the tree :rolleyes:

What building is that if you don't mind me asking?

What a dramatic shot! The sky, the lines, the reflections- top grade stuff here.

The buildings are part of the More London (http://www.morelondon.com) estate, which includes my building - 1, More London Place, office of Ernst & Young LLP. I'm pretty sure that the picture you took is between 1 and 2 MLP and the fake tree is located here also, set back from the river a bit.

Can I ask what settings you used to take that HDR image - ie, how many exposures did you use etc

Cheers for the map and all the info!

I used 8 exposures, 4 of those are for different part of the sky/cloud, the rest 4 are for the buildings and trees.

What is HDR? And why do you use it?
