CF-18

Posted by Kenton (Calgary, Canada) on 21 November 2008 in Transportation.

This is sort of making a good thing out of a bad. I intended to do an HDR composition of this, however it was really windy, I didn't have my tripod, and it wasn't especially bright, so the three images weren't exactly the same. So by playing around with it enough I made it into this and I think it is quite cool.

I always appreciate feedback and constructive criticism. Thanks for stopping by.

You can visit me on Flickr as ks_focalpoint or on Fotopedia. I'm also working on a website of my own, stay tuned...

I think it is very cool too. It gives movement to the imgage, it looks like we have liftoff! Well done Kenton!

You did your best, lol.
I think that the image woukd be better cropping the upper zone with the big spot of light.

@Denise: This is a picture of a fighter jet "statue". Because it was going to be silhouetted I decided to bracket the exposure so that I could try some HDR treatment on it (or at least have some detail in the shot). Unfortunately it was quite windy and I didn't have my tripod so the three images didn't exactly match. When I combined them for HDR I noticed that it had a look of motion to it that would be interesting and after that it was just playing around with the different settings. I have one that I actually matched up the images to avoid the ghosting, but I thought this one was much more interesting.
