Urban Decay

County Road 217

Passing through Port Crane, NY, on my way home from the Adirondacks, this set of attractive buildings had me pulling over to make this photo. What first caught my attention was the set of windows on the front face of the blue building. The weathered tones on it’s side further drew me in and the complimentary colors of its red accents and neighboring building sealed the deal on this scene as a must make photo.

HDR urban decay

in ,

One thing I like about HDR photography is that it makes the impossible, possible. It allows your eye to see what you ordinarily wouldn’t be able to see. When you shoot HDR, you use a series of images to reveal details in the shadows and highlights which you just wouldn’t see in a single exposure. Adobe Lightroom makes it easy to stack and merge these images, resulting in images like mine below.
