Warped reality at the hotel lobby - a photo on Flickriver

In February I gave a photography class at the Embarcadero in San Francisco on behalf of the Digital Photo Academy. We first learned different types of composition, then we practiced various concepts. We walked in the halls of the Ferry Building to try one-point perspective shots, we walked along the piers, then we went to the Hyatt Regency hotel to practice bokeh shots at the indoor fountain in the hotel lobby. I also used a circular fisheye lens that can see 210º, it's so wide I have to be careful that my fingers and forehead are not in the picture.

I processed a realistic, a balanced, and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
