Manhattan Bridge HDR / BW1 Setup Canon EOS 10D Canon 17-40 f/4L Exposure Settings CRW_35498: ISO 100, 30.0 s at f/9.5, 17mm CRW_35499: ISO 100, 30.0 s at f/13, 17mm CRW_35500: ISO 100, 30.0 s at f/6.7, 17mm Variations <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/176746201/">color version</a> Background When I shot these photos, I did not have a timer cable release with me. If I were to shoot these at a small aperture, I would have to set the camera on bulb while keeping my finger on the shutter release for the entire exposure. To minimize the risk of completely ruining the photos, I've decided to vary the aperture values for the different exposures instead of varying the time and keeping a constant aperture value. HDR Processing Note that it is generally not recommended that you vary the aperture values for images intended for HDR (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdr" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia: High dynamic imaging</a>) processing. If you use software like <a href="http://www.hdrsoft.com" rel="nofollow">Photomatix</a> to perform tone-mapping, for example, the varying levels of focus on the photo will create blurry results. I have had to apply a bit more USM (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsharp_mask" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia: Unsharp Mask</a>) than usual for this image. And if you view large, you can see that the grains are quite visible. HDR Results I am happy with the HDR result though--the wider aperture gave it enough exposure to show the golden reflection under the bridge, and the small aperture contribute to the oh-so-gorgeous star bursts from the lights. Black + White Processing By using <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/" rel="nofollow">Photoshop</a>'s channel mixer for the black and white conversion, I was able to manipulate the the local contrast further. The absence of color united the tonal values of the two orthogonal axis of the bridge. The overall composition seems to have improved, and now looks like a giant extruded plus sign with very heavy industrial ornaments. B+W Results The result is very rewarding and I'd like to thank <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/moxette/">Moxette</a> for her suggestion to process this as a black and white photograph. :) Related Flickr Sets <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/sets/72057594137765048/">Manhattan Bridge, New York City / Project (Set)</a> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/sets/72157594173213337/">HDR Photography / Project (Set)</a> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/seeminglee/sets/72157600010427722/">SML Photography (Set)</a> Related SML Pro Blog entries <a href="http://blog.seeminglee.com/2006/06/functional-beautiful.html" rel="nofollow">Functional = Beautiful</a> <a href="http://blog.seeminglee.com/2007/08/hdr-manhattan-bridge-in-black-and-white.html" rel="nofollow">HDR: Manhattan Bridge in Black and White</a> <a href="http://blog.seeminglee.com/2007/04/manhattan-bridge-hdr.html" rel="nofollow">Manhattan Bridge HDR</a> <a href="http://blog.seeminglee.com/2006/06/on-photography.html" rel="nofollow">Photography = Composition</a> <a href="http://blog.seeminglee.com/2007/06/my-photography.html" rel="nofollow">Photography / Philosophy</a> <a href="http://www.smlCollection.com" rel="nofollow">SML Collection = See-ming Lee + Design + Technology + Marketing Strategy</a> <a href="http://blog.seeminglee.com/2007/06/theorizing-aesthetics.html" rel="nofollow">Theorizing aesthetics</a> SML Content Syndication You may syndicate this content for non-commercial purposes.
