Golconda Fort     posted on 3rd of december, 2007

In my recent trip to India, I made my second visit to Golconda Fort outside of Hyderabad. Its a great place and I could easily go again and again.

It appears that I have the only two images on Dreamstime of Golconda Fort.

I got this simple shot of a solar panel used for lighting

 

 

and much better (in my opinion) is this great shot of the ruins of the fort.

 

 

This place was the center of Muslim rule in southern India and is built on a 300 foot high granite hill. The Hope Diamond is thought to be have been excavated from a mine here.

HDR     posted on 12th of december, 2007

Tatar recently posted about HDR (high dynamic range) photography. I'd like to see more discussion of this technique, what works and what doesn't.

I thought I'd try to get the ball rolling with a few samples of what I think are well-done HDR photos.

- beautiful view - love the lights and the clouds.

 

- love the lonely, ethereal look of this picture.

 

- this one, to me, has a little more of a fantasy look - but being a Texan, I like it.

- full disclosure - this is one of my first HDR enhanced shots. I guess I'm partial - but I like the way it turned out. If the barbed wire hadn't been there, the shot might have been perfect. But then again, I might have been dead. He was a pretty big bull.
