Moving Through - 1

Posted by drphoto (Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) on 16 April 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

MY housemate is a photography student and has recently been given an HDR brief to shoot spaces through which we move through, spaces which are never a destination and are essentially forgotten, overlooked.

This brief really captured my attention and I've been looking for a good reason to try out some HDR programs anyway.

This image was actually created by blending two different HDR outputs. One HDR image was created from four exposures using PS CS2's automate function and the other one was created using a new (free to download) program called Zero Noise.

Each of them had its own good and bad points so I turned them into layers in photoshop and used layer masks to bring out the best of both.

This space is a bit strange, behind the camera is a pedestrian bridge between a University campus and the city center (if you look closely over to the right you can see a blue sign directing you into the city) but before you get to the city you must frst pass under these office buildings.

The whole area was recently cordened off because of a road accident beneath, which may have weakened the structure and I felt the metal fences and red & white tape added to the 'forgotten' effect.

I welcome all constructive comments, compliments and criticisms.
I am here to learn. the fastest way for me to learn is for you to be really unforgiving and articulate in your criticism =D)

If you don't have time to comment don't forget to give a star rating as you pass through!
