December Sorrow

5 Image HDR/DRI using GND 0.9 soft + GND 0.6 hard for higher tonality of the clouds. Sembawang Stateland, Singapore.

Revisited the area again as I like the fog after a rain the night before. Boosted the highlights a bit.

Immensity II: A Short-lived Friend

7 Image HDR/DRI using GND 0.9 soft + GND 0.6 hard for higher tonality for the clouds & sky.

-2 EV as base image before tone mapping.

-3 EV + 0 EV for foreground & tracks, tone mapped. Sembawang Stateland, Singapore.

Only slightly different from the other series I've shot so far. The sunrise was a short-lived one; out of sheer luck, it disappeared into the dark stormy clouds completely just after this was taken.

Chose an underexposed (-2 EV) shot as original image from my bracketing exposures, so that the sun's halo is naturally captured. Secondly, an underexposed shot helps the sun to distinctively stand out more against the entire background.

To a New World & Beyond [Panorama]

-2 Image HDR/DRI panorama consisting of 5 image DRI exposure each for the 2 images.

-Used GND 0.9 soft + GND 0.6 hard for higher tonality of the sky.

-Merged and tone mapped in Photoshop CS5. Contrast boosted by 30% for foreground & desaturated by 20% to emphasise the center. Sembawang Stateland, Singapore.

It's been a while since I did HDR/DRI panoramas. Never in a life time would I choose to do that again. You'll know why when you try it.

This is SO weak compared to those last shots. Phenomenal images.

Mt. St. Helens

I used to have a 5D2, but I sold it a couple months ago to help fund my move from San Diego to Portland. I'll be back sometime soon though with a DSLR of some kind.

For now, that's the best I can do with a PowerShot.....

That's absolutely, amazing coming from a PowerShot!

And no, it's not about how "nice" it looks, you guys got awesome landscapes like mountains, huge rivers and lakes, wish I could go there!

In Singapore, you get nothing but boring looking swamps and flatland, no four seasons and crappy weather 90% of the time... and it's almost impossible to capture a vast land because of the rapid highrise developments and limited land space.

Thanks!

I just wish it shot in RAW. I can't do too much in Lightroom with it.

Flow Me Away

3 Image HDR/DRI using GND 0.9 soft + GND 0.6 hard for higher cloud tonality and smoothed water flowing effects. Labrador Park, Singapore.

One of the most blessed evenings on a rainy December period. Guess I was lucky. Anyway I'm adding and changing my borders to a better format for all my photos. This makes it look like a picture frame!
