Daves View
St Pauls Cathedral HDR
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 11 September 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.
This is a HDR image tonemapped from a single shot across the Thames looking at St Pauls Cathedral; I think after 2 trips to London this is the biggest tourist spot I've yet to visit, along with the Tower of London.
A similar view to this can be seen here, which was taken a bit farther back along the bridge, but with my kit lens, so the Cathedral actually looks bigger!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Your HDR work is very cool - I like the resulting image textures. How did you do it with people moving?

@Ken McCoy: Thanks Ken, This was done by tone-mapping a single layer in PS; the results aren't as good as bracketed exposures, but are still pretty good

Excellent composition, the frame is perfect. Your work with the colors and the light is also very good, giving an "attracting" atmosphere.
