Hotel Nowhere

On a dark desert highway.

HDR composite of 3 raw images: -1, 0, +1 (tripod). Merged in PSCS3. Layers added: curves adjust, hue and saturation adjust, sharpening, median. I prefer an effect that lends solidity to the scene with a light touch of the hyper real.

Hotel Nowhere belongs to the following groups:

Australian Contemporary Photography, DaDa Land, HDR Photography (3 Photos per 24hr-day) and Riginals Available for sale as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints

cool wind in my hair… warm smell of colitas rising up through the air… – geez, now i’m going to be singing along in my head all day :) great composition chris… random strange hotel… big highway… middle of nowhere… i like the feeling of vastness here – and the big red ‘hotel’ sign is so eerie. bell’s told me about this place and how strange it is… your shot captures it perfectly.
transmute replied

Thank you Holly. I gawk at this place everytime I drive past. It’s by an artist named Callum Morton, and it makes a rather interesting statement on the space.

strangely disturbing photo, that building doesn’t even look real. It barely look six feet deep! stunning photo!
transmute replied

Thanks mstrace, it’s intentionally scaled to be slightly out of proportion by the designer (see above)

This is great. I just got back from Iceland and it’s nice to see buildings again. Nature bores me in large doses.

Cheers Ed. I hope you ate some Puffin.

No, I saw some, but I only eat things that come in cans.
I didn’t talk much about the picture in that last comment, and mainly about myself, I do apologise. I’m sort of doing it again, but just rest assured I really do like this image very much. Probably for the same reasons you do so I won’t list them.

Dang, that is some mysterious chicken jelly.

Perfect use of HDR: gives the special touch without being too artificial. congrats

What an interesting building. Great comp. Looks like the kind of place you’d stop at if you’d run out of gas and then never be seen again.
