[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First I didn't realize where all these figures fives were for, but then I realized that there were the letter S. Or so I think. These were situated infront of the BBC building in Glasgow on the Pacific Quay on the south bank of the River Clyde.

This is a HDR photo from one photo on which I adjusted the RAW exposures three times. I then used Photomatix Pro to do the HDR and tonemapping. I later adjusted levels and USM in Photoshop.

Ciao, Cinzia

SSSSSSuperb capture of these cheerful S'es. A fine compo Niek, not your "style" though. Anyway a fine compsoition with the "S-seats" nicely shown. Excellent posting Niek.

Hi Niek, lovely composition with splendid perspective, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

Hi Niek! What a lovely composition! Great tone and very fine details. I wish I could do the HDR and tonemapping that you mentioned in your note so I can post more dramatic images. What's the workflow you used here? Great perspective.
Cheers!
Freddie :)

Hello Niek,
I like the composition, and I admire the design of the chairs!
There is an awesome feeling of depth in this frame, as all lines point to a common spot in the distance...
The bright blue is a real eye-catcher!
Greetings,

verschrikkelijk apart zeg

Hello Niek,
These S shapes has made for some interesting elements in the photo for sure. They must be seats/benches? I like it. Also, their bold bright color are really eye catching. Your POV here is very good, amazing depth captured and very good perspective...and superb detail.
I wish I had a program to try HDR. You used the technique very well here...as I've seen other shots on this site where people are putting the technique to 'proper' use. On other sites I see people using the HDR technique alot but in my opinion they are not using it properly as they're transforming their photos into more of an illustration. I guess that's Ok if that's your intention but I don't care much for it. Here, it was used well, showing detail and definition in the highs and lows. An excellant posting Niek!

Hi Niek

Skillful use of HDR - it looks very natural. Your note about the 5's amused me. Nicely composed

Goede morgen Niek.
Prachtig heldere foto met interessante Art decoratie.
Groeten van Jan

Mooi geworden, ondanks de hdr-bewerking. ;-)
De plaat bevat lekker veel diepte en mooie kleuren. Hooguit had je het gebouw links vooraan nog iets overeind kunnen trekken met "vervormen", maar verder is ie picobello.
groeten,
Joop!

Hi Niek, great use of colours here. The blues really stand out. Nice work.

Hi Niek. Wonderful shot, almost surreal. To me the test of a good HDR shot is when, as here, I did not know it was an HDR image until I read your notes. Thanks for sharing.

Regards Phil.

Great HDR shot. It reminds me of the clarity in some of the scenes in the movie Gattica. Exposure/DOF is great. The vanishing point, in my opinion, would have been a bit more dramatic if it went out at an angle? Getting this DOF out of F3.5 is a class act!

Excellente cette scene!
Les contrastes entre le bleu des "S",le vert des arbres et le reste est saisissant!
Bravo,le rendu est tres tres bon.

Au plaisir!
