Five tripod mounted RAWs // HDR // Shutter: varied // Aperture: varied // Focal Length: 17 mm // ISO 100

I posted a photo taken at the same time very similar to this a few weeks back, although I like this rendition better. It’s fun to hark back to all the fun times I’ve had HDR’ing the smithereens out of my photos.

I’m somewhat reticent about this photo however, because of the bit of barrel distortion (tilted buildings) from the wide angle lens. This is something that can often add some drama and “edge” to a wide angle photo, but I’m observing that this doesn’t seem to apply when the photo is taken from an elevated vantage point like a parking garage as this photo was - or so I’m theorizing.
