now I see. I'm not familiar with that technique myself. I sometimes find overexposed areas of photos hard to look at... well, when learning anything new it takes time.
as for Guangxi, never been to the rice terraces in winter time, so they will definitely look different. And I'll be there during Chinese New Year, so I'm just hoping the crowds are not as massive as they are everywhere else in China at that time. That can turn a peaceful and tranquil place into a madhouse.
With respect to the HDR photography, I've decided to continue with it, but in daylight conditions with easier subjects. that should make it somewhat easier and hopefully more productive.
I did manage some nice photos of the Bank of China building again, and discovered that they have an observation deck on the 42nd floor there. Unfortnately I discovered that after returning to Shenzhen last night.
This was an ill fated attempt of mine ... I had seen the work of a photographer who took street / city scenes, and made them look even more interesting by increasing the contrast in a way that created stark and harsh lighting to the point of washing out sections of the image. Not well executed on my part, however. Thanks for looking, and commenting.
Hi Mark. You probably noticed already but the glare off the sidewalk is a bit much. Hard to fix that type of problem but worth a try. Maybe a curves adjustment?
