patriciaann1
Hi Alistair I wondered if you would answer a question, did you take 9 images and make them into 3 hdrs then merge them again..thanks Pat
Alistair Wilson replied
yep, thats how i did it
Elana Bailey
This is really eye-catching. I would have taken this really quickly too, at midnight! Well done indeed.
ktowers
now thats cool, awesome job you did here, fantastic result
Paul Compton
Wow. What a tremendous shot. Terrific work Alistair.
Michael Kienhuis
wow! Sensational
Jason Connolly
Superb shot Alistair, love the perspective,details colours and light…
You mention 9 shots, 3 HDrs, does this make a significant difference to the finished shot?
Alistair Wilson replied
i mean 9 shots in the sense that i have just stitched 3 HDR shots together. If i had taken just one hdr shot ( 3 images) i wouldnt have been able to capture the whole laneway with my non wide lense (18 – 55)
Jason Connolly
LOL,Hi again Alistair I’ve just gone and reread, LOL, missunderstood, yeah great stitch,really done well here.

This work is fantastic, Alistair. Top notch. Well done.
