Nothing too fancy...

.. just fun to see how much detail it's possible to pull out of the RED when exposed properly. Looking at the first picture you might think the sky and the building behind the bank is overexposed, when indeed there's lots of detail hidden in there. This shot was framed for 1:2.35 so I'm not even going to see the sky in the final shot. Exposed this for RAW all the way up to about 95%. Hot-mirror and ND.9 on a 25mm RPP.

Whoa- that almost looks like a CG render.

yes it does

Tony... I'm a little lost.

Are both images the same image trated differently?

If so can you have (by applying a curve) the right exposure with sky and the other building also exposed properly?

It's just that there wasn't really much info on your original post.

And that's a good thing? :wink5:

Sorry Pietro. Yes - both pictures are the same. The bottom one just had a quick curve applied to it in REDAlert to pull out some of that detail. If I had to use the sky in the picture I might have used an grad filter to pull down the exposure on the sky. If you were to do it in post then you'd have to apply a mask to the areas you'd want to correct.

Nope - it's not CG ;-)
