Description

This is my latest work and an attempt at creating a natural HDR from 5 different exposures. This HDR was created with a new software called Essential HDR which tries to produces more realistic HDR's.

After merging and tonemapping I used Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to post-process it a bit, fixing mostly the color tones and contrast.

Instead of the current name I was thinking something more like "Stairway to Elevator" but sounded weird. What do you think? Or do you have a better name suggestion?

All critics and comments are welcome.

Yes, it's lift, but I don't know where the hell it goes lol... About the light highlights, the smallest exposure time from the HDR set is 1/2 which is mostly black but creates the highlights you see. Maybe I could have tried a smaller exposure time, like 1/50 or 1/100, but I had the subway to catch.

I absolutely love it. Looks very futuristic and fresh! The colors and lighting are so surreal..
+10 from me
  • oh and I think 'steps & lift' sounds just fine. Sometimes a plain title works best

boas! não me lembrava de nenhum trabalho teu mas é bom ver mais um portugês por aqui! :)

Nice work good composition. not sure about the highlights and the shadows either, i whould like to see a single exposition of this, not sure if hdr adds to much to this work.

Where was it taken?

Thanks, I'll leave the title than :)

Estou registado há mais uns meses que tu lol, só não é costume apresentar muitos trabalhos. Apenas uma de longe a longe que eu realmente goste o suficiente para apresentar numa galeria.

About the highlights I already explained that I couldn't do more about them on the time frame i had to take this. And trust me, a single exposition wouldn't have worked, maybe a little, but not as good as I wanted. If you dislike the highlights, one single exposure would make it even worst.

You barely see the border. It's just 1px line with a shadow, what's so wrong about it? Or are you talking about the watermark?

@all
This was taken at Campanhã in Metro do Porto (subway station).

A wonderful HDR. It almost looks like a 3D artwork. Very surreal. I like the blue highlights.

I'm sorry but how can you say that? My other HDR is 100 times more surreal than this and even that is not that much surreal. Believe me, this HDR is very, very close to the scene reality and the original bracketed photos.

I've added an additional image with one of the bracketed photos so you can all see that: 1) The HDR have indded helped giving more detail to the photo and 2) The HDR is very natural and not at all surreal.

I'm not offended by your comment, is just that everyone else seems to have a different opinion, that this HDR is different, more natural, yet, you think otherwise and I was just wondering why... :)

I guess I was not very specific, sorry. The lighting especially the blue of the lift but even the starburst on the floor looks very futuristic to me. Probably just my perception! :)

Nothing to be sorry of ;)

You are right, it does look futuristic somehow, but it's real, believe it, lol...

I may have saturated the colors a bit more though, but everything else is real and really close to the bracketed images as you can see in the additional downloads.
