HDR Of The CN Tower

 

The CN Tower – an incredible build, and yet sadly it is no longer the highest structure in the world – China built not one, but two taller than it as of last year.  However, the Skypod - the upper ring, is supposedly still the highest man made look out in the world.  Our family recently went for a visit to this massive structure, so I figured what a great opportunity to practice some HDR.  The image to the left, is an HDR from the three images below.  After which, I used the content aware feature in CS5, along with some colour tweaking.  All three images were taken hand held standing at the base of the tower, which of course makes for a little more work, however using the “Difference” blending mode is quite helpful with this.  Many HDR tutorials can be found online on YouTube, and last week I took an online class as well.  In the end I found that using techniques from here and there (because every tutorial will be different using different tools and techniques) to make up my own blend was how I went.
