 Today's image is of a memorial located next to the Peachtree Center in downtown Atlanta. The image is an HDR, composed of three bracketed exposures. On the bottom of the memorial there is the following inscription: 'In memory of
I spent some time post-processing the HDR in Photoshop CS3 to remove terrible shadows, noisy areas, and other parts of the tonemapped result which I found unappealing. It's interesting that I've been living in Atlanta for so long, but I happened upon this area of downtown for the first time just last month. I guess the last month or so I've been in discovery mode, and it certainly feels very satisfying. This image is the last HDR I'll post in a while. I'll most likely post some landscape images in the next day or two. In other news: only five days left for the print promotion on this photoblog. Here are top five reasons why you should take advantage of the two year anniversary promotion and order prints: • Images featured on this photoblog are meant to be seen on paper. When you think about it, the images that you see on my photoblog are displayed in small resolution (usually 800x533 pixels). Additionally, your monitor only displays up to 72 dots per inch. When you see the images printed at 300 dots per inch, you can see all the minute details...I've spent over $500 in the last two years getting my images printed in sizes ranging from 4 inch by 6 inch prints to the massive 20 inch by 30 inch posters. If that sounds like a lot of money to be spent on prints - it's because I passionately believe images are meant to be seen on paper rather than on the computer screen. • The quality of the prints is unrivaled. I use (arguably) the best printing lab in the United States (Mpix), and the images are printed on Kodak Endura archival paper designed to last one hundred years in a typical home. The prints also come with a metallic finish, giving them an incredible look. • I've been posting an image a day (with just a few exceptions) on this photoblog for over two years now. If you order a print, it gives me additional motivation to keep going and to continue posting an image a day indefinitely. Of course, if you don't order a print, words of encouragement and comments are highly appreciated as well (as always). • In the next few days, I am going to be upgrading to a more capable digital SLR (probably will be a separate entry in the coming days). Photography is an expensive hobby. You'll be supporting me financially if you order a print. • You have nothing to lose if you order the prints. Based on my FAQ found at this link, if you're not completely satisfied with the 8 inch by 12 inch prints (plus the 4 inch by 6 inch prints which are included in the sale as well), simply return the prints in their original condition, and you shall be refunded your $20, no questions asked. You can even keep one of the 8 inch by 12 inch prints for yourself, simply because you gave it a chance and decided to go through with the order. I'm not sure if I can be any more convincing. Finally, thanks to all those who have ordered prints so far! |
