Doom and Gloom

This is a one shot HDR, and was then converted to Black & White, of downtown San Francisco. This was shot from a boat coming back from Alcatraz.

The day started off very nice and sunny, but on the way back from Alcatraz the weather changed to a gloomy feel. Converting it to B&W really brought out the gloominess of the day.

Pier 39 From Above

This is a 3 shot HDR of Pier 39 in the foreground, and Angel Island and Alcatraz in the background. This was shot from the top of Coit Tower, which really gives you great 360 degree views of the city. The windows can be a problem when you try to take a shot, but good positioning and processing can get you really nice photos.

Mine, Mine, Mine

Sorry we could not resisit the title on this one (in case you are not familer, it's from the seagulls in Finding Nemo). That's what really came to mind with this guy here, he looks like if you mess with him you would be sorry, espically if there is some food aroud.

This is a 3 shot HDR shot on Alcatraz in San Francisco California. Notice how the HDR brings out the feathers really well on the seagull.

Lightning Over The Lighthouse

Here is a 3 shot HDR of the Lighthouse at Alcatraz. We wanted to give the image a more gloomy look so we added in the Lightning by the Lighthouse, this was done with a program from Alien Skin, called Xenofex.

House on Haunted Hill...

Well the big house that is. This is a 3 shot HDR image of Alcatraz in San Francisco CA. The HDR image was converted to Black and White, Lightning was added via Alien Skin Xenofex, and a texture of a wall actually from Alcatraz was overlayed.

All these together gives the image an old horror film look to the image, which we felt was appropriate for the prison. If you are ever in San Francisco consider taking the tour, interesting history and a great audio tour. Also if you happen to be lucky and be on the island on a clear day you get beautiful views of downtown San Francisco.
