I took these yesterday morning of the Brisbane skyline & it's famous Story Bridge. Brisbane is Queenslands capital city. I have taken heaps of images of the city in the past, but this is the first time I've taken any using AEB. As per usual I used Photomatix Pro to edit them.

Hi Edwin. I hope you don't mind if I add some of mine of the city? We visited for the first time in late March and really loved the place. It has such vibrant life.

Well, as a regional Queenslander I have a bit of an ambivalent attitude to "Brissy". It is, after all 1700km away and we tend to get a bit parochial when "The Guv'ment" tries to tell us what to do from that safe distance. Nevertheless the city has its attractions and here is my pano of the Brisbane Skyline.

Now that I look again at this early attempt at a stitched panorama I can see that one of the buildings look a bit wonky. Hmmm! more attention to detail needed.

Looks like I struck a chord, posting my images of Brissy? Brisbane, as The Yanks say; is a beautiful little country town & I tend to agree with them. I live about an hour north of Brisbane, near Woodford, but drive into Brissy every six months or so, just to see how the town has changed while I've been absent. I love walking along the rivers edge early in the morning, taking photos as I go. Thanks for your feedback........Cheers.......Edwin.
P.S. Next time you're in town & if you're a chocoholic like me, try Darrell Lea's in the Queen St Mall. -

Great photos, Edwin and Kit.
Pretty adventurous doing HDR with people included, Kit. -
7th August 2010, 10:26 AMKlickitRe: Brisbane, "the river city"There was no HDR in this, just some slightly more than usual Curves tweaks, some dodge and burn. :) I wanted it to pop and be vibrant, just like the city.Quote:

When you viewed the Brisbane pano, you may have noticed a very distinctive building to the left of the bridge. It certainly caught my eye. Google says it is the State Law Building, but locals tend to refer to it as the Gotham Tower or Batman's Building, both of which seem to suit it far better.

A few more from my Brisbane visit.

1st September 2010, 01:24 PMMeremailRe: Brisbane, "the river city""Gotham Tower" was actually a boring sheer sided building that was refurbished in the early 1990s. They built a gantry around the whole building about 2 stories high at the top, and over the next 6-8 months, the gantry was lowered floor by floor and Gotham came out the business end until it was all transformed into what you see in the image here.Quote:

Thanks for that Jim - some interesting detail certainly emerged then.

I really love the second image mate, the colours are simply stunning. What HDR program did you use to edit it?

Thank you. I used Photomatix Pro 3.2

I drove all the way into Brisbane early yesterday, thinking I would spend the day taking some images of The River City, only to find to my horror, that the Brisbane City Council have now placed parking meters where it was once free to park. Anyhow while the parking inspectors weren't looking, I took several HDR images from Kangaroo Point. This is one Pano of which I used 10 tonemapped images. I edited them with Photomatix Pro & stitched them together using Photoshop Elements 8.

I like the composition, Edwin. The close cropping and foreshortened image give quite a different aspect to the city. Whilst I am very familiar with Brisbane your photo caused me to for a few minutes to orientate myself. Well done.

28th September 2010, 11:00 AMColin SouthernRe: Brisbane, "the river city"Excellent work Edwin. My only comment is that it would be nicer to be able to see it about twice as wide, and twice as high. Happy to host a bigger version for you if you'd like to display it here.Quote:
