The Road to San Diego - Motion Theme

[Chris Dodkin]

Went out this evening to capture my 'motion' shot - taken from the Cabrillo Bridge, overlooking Highway 163 as it winds through Balboa Park towards downtown San Diego.

Canon 5D2 - 28-70 f2.8L

That's pretty snazzy matey!
Compo is really nice ...
Is there any detail to been drawn back out of the shadow areas though?

 

[Darren Turner]

that would be good idea hamish but difficult i guess.....maybe subtle HDR may help...............??

 

[Hamish Gill]

i would try using the "fill light" control in lightroom ... but i dont know how you do that in photoshop etc

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Actually... there is plenty of shadow detail, I just turned up the black in PP on this version.

Will have another play today on my calibrated desktop rather than the laptop.

I jammed the tripod up against the railing on a bridge over the road, so that the lens protruded through the railing to get the shot.

The bridge is higher than your normal overpass because the road below is in a small canyon, and the Cabrillo Bridge spans the canyon and the road.
