HDR (or an approximation)

I have never really been in favour of the overdone HDR that has been popular in web photo circles for a while now. I don’t know that I’ve really changed my mind but, having downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS5 which does that trick, I had to give it it a go. Right??  And then I thought I’d go the whole hog and add an overlay.

Anyhow, I quite like the look I managed to achieve but I honestly don’t think it’s ever going to be firm favourite like, say, black skies for instance.

The picture was taken on a recent walkabout on and around the newly revamped South Pier at the entrance to the harbour in Durban.There is something about harbours and piers that I really love.

** I have a big page here on Durban’s harbour including history and the entrance widening project.
