Went to Thailand a while back and of course, took quite a number of shots. This is a HDR series of two of the places I went, the Bridge Over River Kwai and WWII Memorial Park located on the outskirts of Bangkok.

1. This is the bridge itself. It actually has a railway track that runs across it. It was built by POWs back in World War 2


2. Of course, you can walk on the bridge


3. Went for a different angle, by placing my camera almost on the railway track itself. The strap actually went in between the tracks and nearly got caught onto it


4. The train service is actually still running but I am not sure if its just a tourist gimmick


5. And of course, what is a tourist place without street food? She had good grilled sotong!


6. Next, after the Bridge, we visited the WWII Memorial Park. It was more touching for the Australians in our tour as they were actually history teachers. So they knew more about it than we did.


7. It was a memorial for the people who suffered as POWs and built the bridge


8. The graves are lined up neatly and the park is well-maintained


9. We were just after ANZ Day so there were fresh wreath being placed there

Very nice HDR shots there Zio. What lens did you use for the shots? UWA?

Thanks

First shot using Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 and the rest using the Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye

all.. one shot RAW right.. not so HDR ler.. huhu ;p anyway.. nice and great tonemapping..exccept no 8.. too over dreamy to me..

wow wow! very nice love the fisheye. and you managed to get the whole dynamic range of the sky and the foreground with just one shot. did you use an nd filter? awesome stuff

Lol not even RAW, all using one JPG So yes, its pseudoHDR.. dont la expose me haha..

Thanks! No ND filter used, can't afford it haha.. maybe the software was good Didn't use photomatix.

ini lagi tipuu..haha..neah..nevermind..me also sometimes like that.. haha..especially for old photos...hhihi...

Lol that time still haven't found the need to shoot RAW yet. If I shoot RAW also I will convert to JPG then HDR. Its faster although the results are less versatile.

eiz....i've been here...very nice place..haha....
did u stay on the river ?

hey, nope. I stayed in Bangkok city. Went on a one-day tour out to the province

using photomatix no need to convert to JPEG...straight from RAW to HDR..heheh..more faster and easier!

I mean the processing time. The software I use can also do RAW to HDR, jst that it takes 1-2 mins longer

jpeg or raw, photomatix or whatever doesn't really matter. thing is the end result is great and thats all i care about amd i think thats all that really matters. good job man!! thumbs and toe thumbs up!!

Thanks man. Yay! Got compliments from HDR mastah!

which software u using? wanna try it

wow great hdr...
u use 1 raw file to create or ??how ar?

i lie down on that bridge and the train really came...! that was fun. love the fish eye shots.

Digital Photo HDR by Media Chance.

Thanks! I used one JPG to create. Then just played with saturation, vivid colours, dramatic light, dramatic light strength, smoothening. and applied noise reduction

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
