Around the Corner

Around the Corner

Went on a little stroll around the city today to shoot a couple of laneways with Flamegirl for Laneway Magazine who requested some shots of this little spot. This is the same lane as shot in my Hosier Lane but up the other end facing the other way :D

I’ve been using HDR sparingly lately but it helps to bring out so much character in these laneways that I simply can’t resist. This is also one of my first goes experimenting with the square format too!


Settings
  1. Canon 5D, 17-40mm f4 L USM. FL: 17 mm
  2. 1/160th of a second @ f4 (Multiple Exposures), ISO 800
  3. No Filters
  4. Adobe Lightroom 2, HDR in Photomatix Pro & Stitched together in Adobe Photoshop CS4

    Hey, may have seen you in the laneway beside Myers yesterday, saw another guy with a white beard and a Canon camera, as i walked past i wondered if they are on RB…

    The shot great, full of color…

    Very cool perspective and shows how wide 17mm is on a full frame!

  • Alistair Wilson replied

    Yeah sure is mate, especially when you stitch them together. This was a stitch of landscape shots taking them upwards with a slight crop at the bottom to make it into square format. I want a 5D mk II now, even the old 5D puts my 40D to shame!

    Wonderful picture. Thanks for adding this to the Male Photographers Group. I’ve just featured it. Also, do you mind if I use this at the cover image for a new challenge in the group? It’s inspired me for a vibrant colors challenge.
