Worcester, Otra Vez! - a photo on Flickriver

'Worcester, Otro Vez!' On Black

Another post-processational visit to the Miss Worcester HDR set...this time with Photomatix as the processor.

If it's possible to get an image as natural as this with Photoshop's tool, then it's beyond my admittedly marginal skills. Photomatix got more of this scene "right," like the subtle light distortions in the wavy enameled metal on the front of the diner and the shades of gray on the building behind it.

Still, I had to Photoshop it a little to get things exactly how I wanted. I had to clean up some motion artifacts, plus I thought the bridge was way too bright relative to the diner and the whole scene was a little too dark overall.

It's still short of the ideal -- damn, I'm looking at it now and wondering if I'm just going to have to replace the HDR sky with a properly-exposed "static" sky from the series -- but all the same, this is very, very close to the reality as I remember it.

Compare and contrast this with my first Photoshop HDR effort. You might prefer the old one...!
