Just got back from Nashville

Had to go to Nashville on a business trip, and managed to sneak some photo-time in one evening. Overall, downtown Nashville is pretty cool :thumb There is a ton of stuff to do within a 4 block radius.

These photos are highly post processed to help with the sky. It was overcast and drizzling. All are hand-held with a Canon 1DMKII and 24-105L f4 IS.

This is three exposures merged in HDR. I know the buildings aren't as straight as they should be, but I would have had to crop too much out to make it work better.

The fountain is another reason why I love IS so much! Hand-held at 0.025 secs!!! This one has the least amount of PPing - only some color help on the sky and I removed a big construction crane from behind the statue.

This is also two exposures: one for the building and one for the sky. Because I was shooting hand-held I didn't line the edge of the building up too well so I had to reconstruct some of the top edges and the sky.

Hope you enjoy them. If I was there another day I could have gone back for some better captures.

    Some nice shots. I really like the last one (but I'm also a sucker for abandoned buildings and creepy locations).
    Amy :D
