Teufel657 Report post Posted September 11, 2010 Not trying to be an ahole. It's a great shot. Constructive criticism. I always loved photographing Chicago whenever I get the chance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascari_2 Report post Posted September 12, 2010 Thanks for the kind words. Placid, you doubting my mad photo skills? But seriously this was taken with my dinky 6 year old Canon S70. Also it's an HDR composition with a pass through a sharpening filter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LamboGator Report post Posted September 12, 2010 Chicago is one of my favorite U.S. cities...in the summer only, though! If it weren't for those winters there, I would be living there right now without a 2nd thought! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickSimmons Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Nice composition, but I don't understand the technique. Did it really look like that? It was really that bright and orange outside? I get the impression that your eyes didnt see anything like that. Then again, I don't understand HDR images. It's become a fake looking style rather than a tool to just broaden the range of the scene and details. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari_2 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Brian, To answer your question, no my eye didn't exactly see that. As I look outside right now the streets do look a darker. But, to me photography is as much for capturing what the eye can see as what the eye cannot see. Some of the most beautiful shot out there are those with blurred backgrounds, streaks from headlights, motion shots, and so on. None of this can be seen by the naked eye.

ken qv Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Great city, Great shot.... I would have never left except winter lasts 6months with another horrible month on either side of that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teufel657 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 It is a nice image, and well done HDR. A lot of HDRs can come out Guidry and over processed. The best HDRs in my opinion are ones you cant tell they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
