Too many lights (Gaylord Texan) - 12-19-2010, 09:33 AM


We stayed at the Gaylord Texan Friday night... didn't have a lot of time to shoot but I wanted to play just a little bit. I didn't have my tripod with me so I used the balcony rail for support.

I know that the composition could be better BUT
this is a 3 image fusion shot at F11 ISO 125
Exposure times 4 seconds 5 seconds and 6.5 seconds

It is marked as HDR but there is very little tone mapping done

The tree on the left side was rotating - that was masked from the 4 second image also the ice on top of the Alamo wall were also moving so I couldn't really capture that effect

Hey! I got a picture of the spinning tree, too. Like you, I had to use a hand rail as my support. I think this was something like a 6 or 10 second exposure.

Those make the tree look like it was spinning like 100MPH or something (exaggerating of course but ya know what I mean)

Those are both really neat. :)

Good job on the blending, it looks very "real".

Thanks Jake ...
I am playing a lot more with fused images to pull more dynamic range from a scene.
Kinda like what HDR is supposed to be :)
