A Different Kind of Thing

So, here is a different kind of photography from me. I stumbled upon this derelict farm house along a rural highway in eastern Oregon, and I couldn't help seeing an interesting HDR opportunity with capturing the graffiti on the interior and the view through the window. Given what this is, is it interesting?

That's pretty cool! I like the double portal, and the rustic look adds a lot. It looks like some strong haloing at the windows edge.

Thanks, John. I'll tinker with the halos. The dynamic range was pretty wide, and I did this handheld, so only two shots lined up well enough.

I took a stab at reducing halos. Tricky with the dynamic range and hard edge between inside and outside. Let me know if it helped and whether it's interesting enough to keep.

You might want to try using channel/luminosity masks with this image. See the Tony Kuyper website if you are not familiar with this Photoshop technique.

Thanks, Phil. I use LR primarily (and photomatix for the exposure blend). I have PS Elements, but I gotta admit, even elements overwhelms me most of the time. I'll check out the website and see whether it's possible in Elements.

Very well-seen and captured. Love the soft colours, and the door/wondow frames with views beyond.
This would be a great entry for the POP Gallery!
