Nikon Wednesday 2017: #38

 

Hello Nikon people, and good Wednesday to all. An adventure in awkward lighting for me this week, as a local business needed (from email saying "Hey, can you ..." to delivery of finished images), some commissioned work in just a few hours for a publishing deadline. No control over the scene, or the time of day, outside of the late-afternoon-through-blue-hour window I had to work in. Always exciting to have some pressure, and no time! Still, it made for an interesting exercise, and it helped to know that the client wanted a whiff of theatricality in the results, for how they were going to use them. So, exposure bracketing and HDR smashing to the rescue, and JPGs out the door. Had to composite any challenging scenes into some funky tone curves lately? Doesn't matter! Share what you've got - let's see some photos.

 

These were done with a D810 in a five-shot, .7-stop bracket, and a 14-24/2.8 with a little perspective correction in post. Yeah, yeah, get a tilt-shift lens. I know.

Important:

please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and

please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb

. Note that

this includes photos hosted off-site

(at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you

new to this thread?

Amazing! What separates the pros from the rest of us.

Matt, nice images.

 

As long as you are willing to crop out the bottom half of you architecture images, you don't need any PC/tile-shift lenses. :-)

Nice images, everyone - always fun to see such a mix of people, places, and styles. And thanks for the warm feedback on the project I shared! Y'all are very gracious.
