City of Graffiti

NEW: IMPROVED VERSION ON POST #25

On my way home from the Los Angeles zoo, I convinced my dad to let me get a shot of the city. I think I'm happy with how it came out.

Thanks for commenting. (you know you wanna)

 

nice PP
It makes the picture.

 

Looks good! Did you sharpen this up in Photoshop? What other edits were made (just curious...)? The sky looks really lively in this one.

 

Thanks guys! fatsheep, this is an HDR of 3 pics. Then I tweaked it a lot in photoshop until I had this.

 

Beautiful! Whenever I drive up that way I see sights I want to take...and always miss them.

Congrats on getting such a wonderful one?

 

Pretty spectacular. I was getting tired of conventional landscapes, this one has some jazz to it.

 

horizon's tilted

:/

 

Awesome. How did you maintain the cars in the same general position through 3 shots?

It would take me several seconds to get off 3 shots, even with auto bracketing. At 60mph, the cars would be half-way across the photo, creating long, blurry, wormlike automobiles.

 

Ha I was waiting for someone to say that, I realized it too. I didn't think it was necessary to fix the horizon, I guess it's just personal preference.

Thank you LostFiniel & rob! I really appreciate it.

 

Are you deploying that as a criticism or just randomly pointing out technical aspects of the photo?

 

It's very much a criticism, it's obviously unintentional and ruins the composition. Other than that, it's fine!

 

I love this shot. The clouds look AMAZING!
