Canon 20D, 18-55mm Lens

Driving in NYC one needs to have nerves of steel along with bravado and bullying to get anywhere.  Just loved all the yellow taxicabs which made it a colourful and vibrant city.

The Abandoned Lot II - reworked

To get this image look like this, I started with the original and did a fake HDR by taking one image, and adjusting the exposures 3x to make a -2, 0 and +2 exposure. I then took it into Photomatix and combined them, and used the tonemapping function with a high light smoothing.

You can see the original HDR here..

Took this back into photoshop and converted it to black and white. Added some red poppies from another old image I had and placed them into the black and white image.

I then copied the colour hdr image into the black and white image, lowered the opacity sightly to about 70%, then Adjusted the overlay using colour burn. Desaturated the poppies slightly and here is the finished result.
