Heading up river

Morning everyone.  I’ve been a bit busy the last few days with pictures from Penn State and a recent band show that I did that I haven’t been able to really process any new HDRs, so today’s shot is one from the archives.  I took this over the summer on a little stroll through downtown Pittsburgh, and this particular view is from the Liberty Bridge in the Steel City.  One of the great things about being a photographer in Pittsburgh is that the city is so photogenic, it looks good from almost every angle.

This is a seven exposure HDR processed with Photomatix and Photoshop.  I added an overall S curve for contrast then masked in a small piece of the clouds at the back of the scene as they were a little blown out.  Added a Dreamland, Turbo Boost and Clarity filter in onOne PhotoTools and a Tonal Contrast filter from Color Efex to everything by the sky.  Finally gave it a quick crop and called it a day.

Thanks for stopping by today everyone.  See you all tomorrow.
