Final Image
I knew, that the over-burnt lights looked kinda crappy and i just did not think of the one and onyl possibility to get rid of this flaw. But not only that, the last step (yes it truely was jsut one) improved the whole image (if you ignore the increased pixel noise ;)). Cheers, i now stop working on this image :)Nearlly Final Image
(Second) Last step has been what i call the "manual micro contrast". it's nothing more than taking care of details and the weight of every part of the image. i do this with simple d&b, but as simple as this sounds it is the most time-taking process. I reckon it being not less than 5 hours just painting, playing with levels and selective color and trying to get every sick detail :)Composition of Content
At this stage i cleaned the image, deleted blemishes, trash and other irritating garbage, put in blank posters (sick task, considering that Photoshop crashed the first time and i had to re-do most of it. but it had the benefit, that i changed the process and it even looked better the 2nd time) and added a proper sky. Took me some 3 hours, too. Source: Dawn Clouds by GeorgeHDR, Perspective & Clipping
I never used the "Perspective Correction" Command before but this is one hell of a new friend to me. The original image was pretty distorted and this tool just saved me a lot of work. The HDR has been done with Photomatix.The Basic Shot(s)
Januarey 20, 2008: We went to this spot i always wanted to do soemthing with, to shoot a HDR for Danilo's new try on another barfin-Ad. So after we shot a few HDRs for him (we actually did lots, but most were screwed), i took the time for my very own one. Long time exposure has been some heck of a annoyance, as everytime the low and mid were shot, lotsa cars passed by and killed the shot. I still left some trails (bottom right) in my image, but they are just irrelevant.Thats from me. Hope you liked it :)
