Challenge: Free Study 2010-04 (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX Aspherical DG HSM for Nikon
Location: Amsterdam Flower Market
Date: Apr 1, 2010
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 1200
Shutter: 1/30s
Date Uploaded: Apr 30, 2010

 I don't expect this to do well due to a ridiculous attempt at handheld HDR at 1/30s. Stupid. But it's still my favorite photo of the month, so there you have it.

Three exposures for HDR, which I tried to keep in control. It was just the best way to preserve color on the bikes while getting the gloomy sky.

straighten, crop, levels, curves, saturate a bit to boost bike colors, 10% overlay, sharpen resize, sharpen, save for web

I really need to work on post processing. Seems like I take the same exact steps every time.

Interesting scene and colors, but could do with less processing.

I just love Amsterdam. The place i was born. Nice processing. I actually have a shot taken from the bridge on the far side looking towards the spot you took your photo from. See it in my portfolio.
