Chinatown Street with Lanterns

Here's what so amazing about having photo buddies: @michaelelliott who takes us to this location, shows us how he squats down and pushes his lens through an opening in the fence, including getting it centered on the yellow street line and waiting for the bus to leave; @taffy who has taught me everything I know about Lightroom and shows me her processing because it inspired me to fiddle with my version so I didn't have to cut off the top where I had blown it out. I hadn't taken an HDR set so I had given it up for lost, but that rectangular filter saved the scene.

Thanks, photo buddies for all you teach me!

Great fun to see the three different interpretations! I think square was a good way to go - like Michael's, it gives a tighter focus to the scene.
