York - Street Shots

[Jimmy_Lemon]

Shots taken on the streets of York during the recent meet, quite a lot of 'HDR' or tonemapped shots in here just to make the sky look like anything but a white mess!

One of few modern buildings I saw:

Park Gates (just looked nice as I walked past)

So many places and directions to go!

hehe, I am more worried about having Les in a HDR shot, he might kill me :|

[drlunanerd]

I love the last one. The receding walkway adds interest on top of the great ferris wheel and other lighting in the shot. I assume this is HDR too?

:eek::eek:
You're going to HDR Les!?

[whiteflyer]

The ferris wheel shot is very good, there is lots to look at apart from just the wheel :thumbs:

Already have done, he is in the corner of the 3rd shot ;)

[maddog.mark]

Some great shots there JL. I like window shopping, lollipops and the blurred wheel shot best.

Looks like you all had fun in York, I've enjoyed these threads.:thumbs:

[dellipher]

Thanks :)

Oh yes - I didnt spot him there :lol:
And in shot 4[maybe] you've just clipped his arm - so maybe a cloneing job?
SO Les and Ian - any more 'togs your gonna HDR?

[Marcel]

Damn those are nice Mr Lemon.

First 2 being my faves (and the blurred wheel shot ;))

The one you linked to of me - am I HDR'd too....i couldnt tell [which is just the way I like my HDRs]

[Galaxy66]

Love the lollipops and the spinning ferris wheel, but, coming not from an expert, I think the windows in the red brick building do not look right to me, like as if only the windows have been over-sharpened.

Nah you were LDR on that one :p

Thanks, and yeah I am not too happy with that shot with the red brick building in, had to process it a lot to make anything really stand out, and it still doesnt look good. Was a bit soft too so has been sharpened to within an inch of its life, which the foreground has taken to better than the detail in the windows I think :(

That "dark york lane" actually makes me feel worried for laura walking on her own down there :lol:

Nice shots, lots of variety!

[ab$olut]

question you take these in raw then made them hdr? or combined two exposures using raw? as I keep getting overexposed skys so i'd like to use this technique to help.

2 and 9 are my faves :)

[Braeden]

Great shots JL - my 2 personal faves are the lollies and the obligatory ferris wheel shot :thumbs:

[Jimmy_Lemon]

question you take these in raw then made them hdr? or combined two exposures using raw?

Most of the 'HDR' shots (IE the first 4) were 5 exposures from 1 RAW. -2, -1, 0, +1 and +2....though I didnt use the +2 (overexposed) shot for the signposts one as they were just too noisy.
