Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Hidden Gem -- 1,000th Challenge! (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
Location: Atlanta, GA
Date: Apr 25, 2008
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 100
Shutter: Varied
Galleries: Cityscape, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Date Uploaded: Mar 6, 2009

This 720px max length is killing this photograph. It needs to be viewed much larger for the detail provided by the HDR. Oh well. 4 individual shots bracketed [-2, 0, +2] and converted to HDR through Photomatix then stitched into a panorama in Photoshop.

A larger version can be seen on my website under the panoramas section. //www.joshboothphoto.com

Looks like a great shot. I'd just like to see it larger.
03/14/2009 06:02:04 AM
Love the wide perspective in this, works really well and the buildings really stand out (though not sure why you feel the need to add HDR to your title)
03/14/2009 05:40:10 AM
VERY cool HDR!!!! Best of luck.
03/14/2009 04:45:40 AM
Well done. Very sharp and not overdone with the processing. Good luck 8

The length of this is usual but attractive. It reminds me of a high quality bookmark. Stunning color, composition & clarity.
03/13/2009 08:40:14 PM
nice long exposure! the lighting is very balanced- good job.
03/13/2009 04:47:41 PM
Good job with the composition and creating a believable photo with HDR. Too many go too far, but yours doesn't Well done.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1124 images, I gave 31 of them a 9. Your image was one of those 31.

There are a couple of panoramic shots in this challenge, but yours jumped out at me much more than the others. The lighting and colours are exquisite, with a nice brooding sky. It really makes Atlanta look beautiful (I have no idea whether it actually is!). I'm guessing you were limited by the horizontal dimension allowed for this challenge, I'd love to see this in it's full size/resolution.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Very nice shot of Atlanta, I can see cranes on top of the buildings under construction.
03/13/2009 10:28:56 AM
nice shot and great work with photoshop.
03/13/2009 08:06:35 AM
Beautiful scape. Nice colors and love the editing work. Would look great on someones wall.
03/13/2009 05:55:23 AM
awesome panoramic, cool nighttime, long exposure capture
03/13/2009 05:15:40 AM
I bet this looks fantastic as a large image. 720px doesnt do it justice.
03/12/2009 10:14:37 PM
Great panorama and nice processing. It probably looks really great on a larger size.
03/12/2009 07:30:01 PM
Great HDR treatment, but why so small? Wish this used the full size allowed as it looks brilliant.
03/12/2009 06:53:16 PM
This must look really cool viewed full res.
03/12/2009 02:34:25 PM
Very nice skyline. Good job.
03/12/2009 01:45:31 PM
I'm not a big fan of HDR, but this is subtle, so it's not bad at all :)
03/12/2009 01:19:03 PM
Beautiful long exposure. 10
03/12/2009 11:07:53 AM
A lovely feel and mood to this image. Remarkable post processing. Would make a great wall print. I'm especially fond of the "empty" feeling of the streets, though clearly it's because of the time exposure.
03/12/2009 05:04:57 AM
Very nicely done - HDR used well and for good effect without being overdone. I like your composition, too.
03/12/2009 01:52:44 AM
wow wish it was bigger, love it
03/12/2009 12:08:31 AM
excellent HDR - well done!
03/11/2009 10:59:54 PM
I wish I could see a huge version of this!
03/11/2009 09:28:52 PM
Looks like a poster for Atlanta. Very beautiful.
03/11/2009 09:15:31 PM
The Angle of this makes the tallest building look pretty small, the Westin Hotel. Nice shot.
03/11/2009 05:03:21 PM
I can only image how cool this looks full size. Too bad the pixel limitations here take away from it. I really like your post processing, and am looking forward to learning how you did it. That is, if you will share ;)
03/11/2009 04:58:59 PM
Cool HDR. I like the movement of traffic.
03/11/2009 01:40:40 PM
Nice panoramic composition and nice processing. 7
03/11/2009 01:36:47 PM
This is beautiful but a shame it's not bigger.
03/11/2009 01:28:15 PM
Now that is a really stunning shot showcasing the beauty of the city. Love how the highway curves at the bottom from left to right to add visual interest to the shot. Then there is that road with the light streaks of traveling cars that is perfectly centered in the middle of the image. It curves and draws our eye to travel into the cityscape. Some beautiful details of and on the buildings we see in the skyline. Beautifully captured and well done my only critique is that it is a shame it is so small because I would love to explore more of the details...but that really is not a fault of yours just a limitation on the 720 pixels a side limit.
03/11/2009 12:47:18 PM
nice processing
03/11/2009 11:48:09 AM
Well engineered shots and not overly done. Nice
03/11/2009 09:57:58 AM
good image
03/11/2009 08:23:44 AM
Cool shot - wish it was a bit bigger. Nice light and color.
03/11/2009 02:04:08 AM
Nice panorama. The sky and street lights have great detail, but I think the city would have been stronger if you'd focused more on the left grouping.
03/11/2009 02:02:38 AM
Fantastic use of HDR. Great shot!!!
03/11/2009 01:32:40 AM
Gorgeous night image.. only teeny complaint i I would like to see more road at the bottom and a little less sky.. still fabulous image. 8
