Here are a few shots of the disney castle. The first one was taken early in the morning while the others where taken in the late afternoon. Morning in Disney seems to be always overcast.

in another tread i read that you didnt get B+W because you see in color, but if this is how you see you need to see an optician

I love them all but my only one gripe is the lens distortion in number 1. If you fix that it would be even better...in my humble opinion

 

[vipgraphx]

Yeah i thought about fixing it, I kinda like the lens distortion but perhaps I will adjust a repost and see how it looks.

Cheers

I think it makes a very nice B&W....

I wasnt going to comment on your pics but these show something that is interesting and Id like to know why. There is a blotchiness of gray to the original color images like pockets of shadows that dont look natural and must be from the processing. What you might think are shadows arent. In the first image these shadow areas are on the tops of all the turrets and over the archway. In the third image its all the rooftops and a few other spots. Anyone know the reason for this? Like why just separated areas that get that look?

I use a glow filter and sometimes it makes dark areas or shadowy areas darker. Sometimes I mask it out when I thinks real bad.

Maybe that's what's going on. I can process these again for a photo-like look and see if those areas
still look like that.

I only point these out because its not just with these couple of images. But I see it often, and come to think of it, not so much when the pics are done realistically.

Here is photorealistic HDR of the castle with some lens correction applied. Tell me if you still see the blotches.

Only thing I did after photomatix to this was auto color in photoshop, adjust levels and as mentioned some lens correction.

Dude, I really like your stuff, but the guy's got a point!

I am totally digging that first image. The only thing I would do would be to remove the cables for the Skyway. Take those out, and maybe brighten it a tad, and that's a ridiculously killer image, and much better than your edit...

Steve that other thread where I said that was trying to critique a black and white. I am not a huge fan of black and white thus my comment that I see in color, and could not give the best critique on the image.

When I process photos its no hidden fact that I like to push colors a lot. HDR to me is fun in that way. I always keep a photo realistic image of the hdr and then I proceed and push the colors. In disney land everything is very color full from the shops to the rides and decor of the rides. Sometimes I like to make it feel dreamy like my photos are from a dream world if you will. Rest assure my eyes are just fine and I don't see in florescent colors through my eyes, Its just with HDR's. Sometimes its a hit and miss but, its the way I like my images right now.

I was going to remove the cables but that is where Tinker bell flys from the Mt. during the fireworks. It has significance to me....my wife is a tinker bell freak!
