Charles Bridge, Prague - a photo on Flickriver

Charles Bridge, Prague

            The always beautiful Charles Bridge in Prague. This image is from my trip to Prague in 2009, I have lots of Charles Bridge shots, this one is just after sunrise when the street lights went off.

ISO 100, 28mm, f13, (0.25, 1.0, 4.0 secs).

Blended in Photomatix and Tonemapped using Exposure Fusion to try to make it look as natural as possible.. Used Imagenomic Noiseware to reduce noise, especially on the sky. Used Nim Tonal Contrast on the buildings to give them more texture and structure. Used Nik Graduated Neutral Density to darken the sky a bit, then Nik Dartken Lighten Center to darken the edges a bit. Finally used a reverse curves in PS to reduce highlights without adding contrast.

And now that I am all done I noticed that I messed up the ghost removal in Photomatix (the first step) when I removed the ghosts on the pigeons. I wanted to take a shortcut and selected the whole area around the pigeons. Laziness never pays.
