It has been a while since I have done a HDR of any description. One of my own favourites is this one
So, when the chance arose from visiting the same area (Queenscliff, VIC) I wandered down to the coastal railway, and lucky for me, with the Easter holidays upon us, it looked like they’d ‘dressed’ up one of the engines to look like Henry (from the Thomas the Tank series on TV)
I did two takes on this, both were 3 shots (shot in RAW), 1 stop apart, hand held (well, sort of, I was resting on a wire fence)
Shot with a Canon 40D, with a Sigma 10-20 attached (and polariser)
Processed and Tonemapped in Photomatix, finished off in Photoshop.

This is a closer shot of ‘Henry’ I quite like the “cartoony” look and probably works better with the subject chosen.
