Olden Times

The black in the sky is actually a cloud of the smoke from a industry nearby, in fact the black on the road and the bridge is fine dust from the same industry. I could not stay longer than 5 mins it was that polluted out there.

What a fantastic shot! It is too bad that there is so much pollution but all of the black dust makes a nice outline and great contrast for HDR. If you don't mind, what software do you use to process your HDR?

@egad i use Photomatix and HDR effex pro. After tonemapping in these softwares i adjust and do noise removal in Photoshop.

Thanks for sharing. I use Photomatix, but your HDR shots definitely look more polished than mine. I will have to try the additional editing steps. Thank you for the tip!

[Dave Schofield]

Ah industry, you gotta love it. Real good grimy shot.

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

Another great shot full of great lines! And so bummed about the pollution spewing into the air. Hopefully soon, all of that harmful pollution will be a thing of the past, before WE become a thing of the past!
