City Hall

City Hall, London. My first venture into the world of High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography.

I took three exposures (1 stop difference), hand-held, leaning against a wall, so I was pretty happy with the alignment of the shots. I’ve since had advice that to get the best HDR shots, a range of 5 stops is recommended, so I will try that (with a tripod) soon.

I’ve used Photomatix Pro to combine the exposures and tone map them (I haven’t figured out how to tone-map in Photoshop). I was so impressed by the ease with which I could do the tone-mapping in the Photomatix Pro demo, that I bought a copy!

I’ll write a bit about HDR photography and Photomatix Pro soon.

City Hall Rail

The City Hall area is one of my favourite London places. The giant banisters/railings are an eye-catching feature.
