Each time I've come home down Great South Road I've been taken with the sight of the Telstra Clear Pacific Centre and the way it's illuminated. Tonight I decided to take a tripod and a few shots to see if you think it's as impressive a sight as I think it is. 5 shots, in the order of 20 seconds each, combined in Photomatix to give the effect you see here. The dots in the sky are stars.
I took a few other shots, not all of them HDR. The next shot is also a 5 shot HDR image, tajen from a slightly different angle and without any cropping.
The third is just a long exposure of the new junction at Manukau. I've always liked the streaks from the car headlights in photographs. Problem tonight was there was hardly anyone about! I had to watch for the cars to come and set the exposure to 30 seconds to be sure I'd get a few vehicles in the shot. I suppose that's the problem with living in New Zealand ... there's hardly anybody here ;-)
The last shot was just a bit of fun with the multiple exposure setting on the camera. I wasn't sure what would happen, but it's not too bad for a first attempt. Perhaps let me know what you think of the shots in this post?
