Thanks Ken. The last one is where I put the most work. Sometimes it pays off, but I find at others that the more I mess around, the less I like the shot. I really should show the colour version sometime. It works pretty well too, but is completely different in feel.

I agree, the bottom image is my favorite also. I don’t like the HDR halos that appear in skies and other blank areas either. One technique I’ve done is to mask out the HDR sky with halo and bring back the sky from the non-HDR layer, giving the best of both. Your LR technique is pretty good, though.

Too true.

Thanks Andy, it is a fantastic view and when one is out for a walk, the view is what we all look at, so the railings won’t really be a problem.

Despite the railing it’s still a fantastic view, and the curve in that final image is really rather attractive.

Thanks Ken. I am sure I will get used to it very quickly. And I should try for some shots that emphasize the shiny new railings as they are likely to become dull pretty soon, with all the salt spray.

It’s easy to see why the railings are necessary and they really did a very nice job with the installation. But aesthetically, i agree with you that they do break up a nice clean line. I like the final shot showing the curve in the railing with the city in the background.
