Even though I like the result I am not completely happy with it. I plan to retake this shot. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I like the way it has come out.. I would consider cropping the top right corner..

Wolf said...

Looks pretty cool, how shots to make this? The sun might be a bit to bright?

What does HDR mean? [just wondering...]

Very interesting. I love the subject. Did you use a tripod? You may elaborate all that you wish because I will probably soon go down this same path.

I don't know what HDR is, but this is a cool shot. I like the clouds. The building has a great look, but feels like it needs to be better lit.

Sidney said...

Impressive shot ! Very powerful !

micki said...

Wow! It almost looks like an explosion coming out of the structure!

Nicola said...

I'm wondering the same as K - what is HDR photography???
I like how the light is right above the tower!

Hey Ali!
Thanks for swinging on thru my blog. drop by anytime!

i've done photography for years and love your site! you've got one helluva eye, and i really like some of your angles/sharp distinctive lines in your framing.

of course, i am a sucker for funny animal shots, and kimi down below a few posts made me damned near fall out of my chair... :)

take care, don't be a stranger, and cheers!

HDR = High Dynamic Range

Nice attempt here Ali...I think it turned out well!

For some phenomenal HDR examples, check out the Ride My Pony site listed on blogroll. He's a Toronto photographer and his work is stunning!

My suggestion would mainly be that you take a few steps closer, and tilt your camera a bit to the left for more symmetry.
I temporarly put up an example of that on my photoblog (hope you don't mind the usage of you photo). Please let me know what you think.

I didnt know about HDR photography but I sure like your photo :)
The way the sun is situated on the top of the tower, and with all the clouds, gives me the impression that this is a big cannon (with holes:P) firing :)

Ali, did you use hdrshop or some other HDR program? I understand PS cs2 is supposed to have this capability, but I have not tried it. The dynamic range of digital photography is finally arriving and exceeding silver halide & paper. Good foray!

Very interesting!!

Like all beginnings it's a place to start and from here you can only improve.
Your first attempt is a good attempt Ali, looking forward to your progression in this area of expressive photography.

Bob said...

Ali, when was this tower built? It looks 13th-15th century. This is a very interesting piece indeed and leaves me wanting more information.

I don't know what HDR is, but this is awesome. Great old tower.
