St Paul's Hill in HDR

Me and Kevin decided to do soemthing stupid by waking up at 4.30AM one fine morning and drive ourselves to the town where the latest happenings were not happening at that hour.

We went up to the St. Paul's ruins to hope to catch the sunrise, however the clouds were not helping hence, no sunrise. But I had in my mind to shoot some HDR that day. By the time we got there its like 5.30AM and it was rather freaky to enter the place at 5.30. Haha.

Just how dark is it? This is how dark it was


My teeth gloweth... and this picture is out of place. Thanks Kev for the shot.

I did so many crazy things. Its like spooky but I did not care just shoot only while having a fast beating hard haha. I did manual flash lighting mostly. Flashing manualy is fun but tiring. Because you just have to keep adjusting. Here's  one of the shot I did manual flash


Are you seeing things? Haha its call strobing lol. 


My bones were in chills when I did this flashing thing. I manually walk and flash and walk and flash. When I reached the last slab of stones I walk hastily back to my cam. Imagine doing that for like 5 pictures and I was totally stunned. The next time you are bored, try spend a night inside the ruins of St. Paul.

And when the sun began to rose, I began stepping outside to take some shots but the sun wasn't rising well. It was cloudy and it is the perfect time to do the perfect...

And my 1st ever High Dynamic Range.
