The Old Convent
Something a little different from me here. A3 shot HDR of the old Convent, Penola Road Mt Gambier this afternoon with powerful stormy clouds in the background.
When processing this the effects were quite different than my normal HDR’s but I liked the outcome even though it is almost comic book style.
Thought I’d throw it up here for comment both good and bad to see what others think. Not something I’d like to do often but the different style interested me.
Canon 400D – 18- 55 lens at 22 CIR polarising filter, processed in Photomatix.

I think it works well Steve, but maybe if the car park was a bit old school with a few vintage black limousines parked there it could look quite spooky.

Dropped in an 8×10 for them but haven’t heard back. Its recently been bought by Gunns in a takeover from AusPine so not sure what is happening to it at the moment…
