The Gateway

Sharp, crisp architecture of The Gateway. Would have liked to do a long exposure however I had to shoot this through the opening holes of a construction yard door.

Camera Info:
Canon 5d Mk 2 | Canon 16-35 f2.8L Mk2 | ISO 100 | 1/60 sec | f 9.0 | focal length 25mm (2 exposure digital blend with perspective corrections)

Silhouettes of TPY

Decided to only use the underexposures to really showcase the amazing skies I've witnessed. I was somewhat disheartened to see the orange building up only at the right side of the location and was contemplating to run to the blocks on the left.

But.. I waited.. And was kind of rewarded with the afterglow I could only dream of having.

Lucky I was.

Camera Info:
Canon 5d Mk 2 | Canon 16-35 f2.8L Mk2 | ISO 100 | 2 sec | f 10.0 | focal length 16mm (3 tile panorama however I cropped heavily to remove the bottom for this panoramic silhouette.)
 

Your pics are really inspiring! K, you just motivated me to go out and shoot. ;)

Burn Test

Been blessed to have quite a fair bit of good light recently and have been creating a rather large backlog of images I want to edit but just take quite a bit of time to do so.

So heres a 5 minute edit to check if the panoramic composition works.

Camera Info:
Canon 5d Mk 2 | Canon 16-35 f2.8L Mk2 | ISO 100 | 0.6 sec | f 13.0 | focal length 16mm (4 Tile panorama straight from raw files. Lee 0.9 Soft GND used only)

Busyness city is very nice. Love it.
 

Great work in all the pictures shown here! Thanks for sharing and it setting the benchmark.

Lotus Arts

The after light was quite spectacular so I managed to reshoot a composition I've done numerous times. However the pond has thrived since I was here and is almost looking like a grasspatch with the perfect reflection obstructed completely.

Camera Info:
Canon 5d Mk 2 | Canon 8-15 f4L Fisheye | ISO 200 | f 9.0 | focal length 15mm (3 tile, 4 exposure Vertorama defished)

The Great Escape

Normally I blend my multiple exposures first and then I stitch the panoramas up.. But for this image.. I tried the reverse and although there was some tiny misalignment in between exposure panoramas, it was so minor it wasn't too difficult in the end to create this image.

Because of this workflow switch, I could really get very detailed with my blending to the point of it looking so natural that it's quite amazing at 100%.

I hope you like this image and I wish you a great week ahead!

Canon 5d Mk 2 | Canon 16-35 f2.8L Mk2 | ISO 200 | f 10.0 | focal length 24mm (7 tile, 4 exposure digitally blended Panorama)

Rewake

Today I had a strange dream.

I think I died. Instead of going to a spiritual place, I was stuck in a constant state of waking up repeatedly. That was quite a scary dream.

Camera Info:
Canon 5d Mk 2 | Canon 16-35 f2.8L Mk2 | ISO 100 |f 11.0 | focal length 16mm (5 exposure digital blend. I can't remember what filters I used for this)
 

Nice coral. Did you PP the sky? Because the reflections are well, showing still clouds. Just curious.

sky is radial blurred but I think the still clouds you see is the sea bed. Original shot was a long exposure.
