Parking

Walking back from Canada Place past the convention centre, the entrance to this parking garage, with the sign reflected in the rain protection above, caught my eye.

To get the perspective as I wanted I had to handhold the camera over my head. I used HDR to capture the tonal range of the scene, and bring out the details in the shadow areas lit by the blue hour sky.

Lots of detail when viewed large!
wow....normally I am not a great fan of HDR as it can look so unreal, but this one...well, hits you straight between the eyes. Love it.......jut got to be a FAV

Really cool shot... Love all the lines and the perspective. The whole shot has great depth! Really subtle use of HDR too... so often overdone it gets a bad reputation but this is great =)

Great shot with lots of details. I'm sure that's the parking garage we used when we went to the Fly Over Canada show.
