Challenge: Free Study 2012-06 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-600D/T3i Rebel
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM II
Location: Dubai Creekside
Date: Jun 2, 2012
Aperture: F22

Date Uploaded: Jun 5, 2012

 I took this shot of a beautiful resplendent sun rising between two buildings by the Dubai Creekside.. What i found interesting is the thin sliver of sun showing between the buildings in the distance. Also, the location made it an interesting shot.. Its a typical juxtaposition of the 2 sides of Dubai; The ferries depict the old side of Dubai, while the modern buildings depict the modern side of the city.

I processed this as a pseudo HDR by combining 5 different exposures of the same shot. It had to be the same shot since the boats you see keep moving, and it would have been impossible to have them standing still. I'm not much of an expert at processing and this is only my 2nd attempt at HDR, so im pretty pleased with the results. Im sure i will get better with your comments and feedback. If anything, i think the scene could have used some clouds to make the sky pop, but unfortunately, we dont get clouds this time of the year here in Dubai.. So what i see is what you get!:-)

Great tones but not much clarity in the shot. Very dark on the right side
