Many HDR images are shot at night, but this one was shot during the early morning. The combination of multiple images and tweaking in post – then getting rid of a few distractions – has created an image which isn’t real, but it is recognisable.
Louis IVX
I liked the drama of the clouds in this extreme wide-angle shot at the Palace of Versailles, but it needed a kick in post to make it really dramatic.
Moulin Rouge
A six second exposure was used to capture this image of the Moulin Rouge in Paris.
The long exposure was needed to blur the sails of the windmill on top of the building. Taillights are visible from traffic, but the cars themselves didn’t stay still long enough to record.
Eiffel Tower HDR
My continuing experiments with HDR. Three frames with a huge difference in their original exposures. Processed in PhotoShop CS6.
Inside Notre Dame
A combination of three images into this HDR shows features of the inside of Notre Dame Cathedral you can’t even see with the naked eye.
Scooters & Sewing
Scooters and sewing machines – the world’s centre of fashion, Paris, and the preferred form of personal transport.
Cuban Sidecar rider
Sidecars are more common in Havana than just about anywhere else I’ve been to in the world.
By using a slow shutter speed and panning I was able to capture this rider in an image which shows the speed and action of riding, but kept his head sharp.
