Saint Basil's Cathedral, a Russian orthodox cathedral. During the Soviet era, the cathedral was confiscated and made into a division of the state historical museum. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix, Adobe Lightroom and GIMP.
Detailing on the ceiling of Uspenski Cathedral in Helsinki, Finland. This took me too long to process, there were some washed out areas due to sun coming in through the windows. I tried to use the power of HDR to eliminate it, but it wasn't sufficient. So after a couple of hours in Photoshop with the clone stamp tool (along with some others) I managed to get my wanted look.
A single shot HDR processed in Photomatix, heavily touched up in Photoshop CS4 and finally adjusted in Adobe Lightroom. Here's a previously uploaded photo of the same cathedral.
I've decided to join the masses and create a "Photoblog", the only name left that was vaguely similar to this was "Pixog". I enjoy taking pictures, but only ever view my efforts as amateurish, so I've decided to share some of my favourites with the world and see what you think!
Currently I'm using a Canon EOS 500D and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10. In the past I've used a Samsung Digimax A6 (my first ever camera) and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. Software used for editing includes Photomatix Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, GIMP and Hugin.
