Steven Avenue HDR

Steven Avenue_2813_4_0_1_2 HDR

My second attempt at HDR (I am addicted already). I used less of the colour smoothing tool and it gave a painting effect much like many of the HDR shots I have seen on Flickr. Again some of the highlights are washed out, I need to investigate into this!

Taking pictures in downtown Calgary always brings about a new experience. This time while taking some shots a homeless man came up to me claiming that I did not ask for his permission to take his photo and that I was violating his "Rights," which I guess is all he has. Naturally, with all my camera gear on me I did not want any confrontation and I had to show him the pictures I took to get rid of him. Teddy Roosevelt once said "speek softly but carrying a big stick," I guess my monopod with ballhead attached will be that big stick next time I venture alone downtown at night.

This shot is nothing out of the ordinary because many people have done it before. Nevertheless I found it to be quite intriguing! However, like my older shots I will probably pooh pooh it later!

My first attempt is on flickr, just click on the picture and it will bring you to my account!
