I went a little dramatic today with the HDR, but thought it fit this structure! Sorry about more sun flares, but it just happened to be in the angle I wanted for this shot!! This was taken at the Western Museum Of Mining & Industry.

Hope everyone is having a great first week of 2012! :-)

Great shot and find. Love the processing. I think for some reason machinery does lend itself to more tone mapping.

I've been playing around with the trial version of Photomatix for the past couple of weeks. It's interesting, but I've not been satisfied with any of the images I've produced save one. I'd like to see a couple more good ones from me before I plunk down the money for it. You've done a really good job with whatever program you're using.

[Sharon]

Love the sun flare!

[Rach_who]

I love the rich colour of the bricks.

[Mohamed]

Awesome perspective and great processing!

@corinam Thank you Corina! I used my wide angle Sigma 10-20 mm lens for this shot!

[Michelle]

[Lara Zinn]
