Austin Skyline in HDR

The other day, I spent some time wandering around taking pictures of the Austin skyline. I actually remembered to bring my remote and tripod this time so I took some photos and merged them into HDR (high dynamic range) shots.

Here’s how they came out.

Austin Skyline – Best Shot

This was my favorite one of the group. The colors came out perfectly and merged together really nicely. It looks a lot better in the larger picture so click on the picture to see the full size one.

Austin Skyline – Take Two

Here’s another one similiar to the first one. Only difference is the sky is a tad more blue and it was taken from a different location.

Stevie Ray Vaughan

This photo was taken from the park where you can see the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue. I love the angle with the skyline in the background. I was having troubles getting the face of the statue to show up but it actually came out better than I anticipated.

Stevie Ray – Take Two

Of all the photos, this one turned out the worst. The blues pretty much overtook the photo but I really liked this angle. I wanted to get the face of the statue but the way the sun was shining made it pretty much impossible.

Overall, the photos turned out pretty cool. I plan on taking some more photos from downtown and seeing how they turn out in HDR. So expect to see another post sometime in the next week or so.
