It looks like the aftermath of an environmental disaster but it's just the industrial area south of the Arch. The big slab in the foreground is a section of the flood wall where graffiti art is permitted. The smokestacks in the background are across the river in Illinois. What makes if look like Mad Max would feel right at home here? HDR image processing, of course. In fact, I think I'll devote the rest of the week to HDR pictures. This ain't highbrow art but it's fun to make and can be quite dramatic.
WHAT ONE OF OUR CDPB COLLEAGUES MAY GET TO DO NEXT SUMMER: spend a month in and around Paris (the individual is not French). Why not me? Why?
TOMORROW: okay, I finally remembered the painter whose style these HDR photos remind me of. Check back Wednesday for another high-volume urban landscape and I'll tell you about him.

En effet, un effet de fin du monde, superbe.
ReplyDeletemais on t'attend à Paris ;o)
In effect, an effect of the end of the world, a haughtiness. but they wait for you in Paris ;o)
It is indeed both fun and dramatic. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow, this is downright creepy, B. The HDR thing adds to the nuclear fallout effect! A new look for you I think.
ReplyDeletePS Mais oui, mais oui! Do you think I'm gonna need a Green Card???
Nice. The floodwall is indeed fertile ground for this stuff. I like that old school bus in the mid ground too.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to see in this picture. Great colors, great subject(s)!
ReplyDeleteI'll admit that I've not been much of a fan of HDR, but I think it really makes this photo more dramatic.
ReplyDeleteOh, puleeeese! This is totally PhotoShopped, Dude. No way!
ReplyDeletePJ, dude. HDR is an image processing technique. So, actually it's not PhotoShopped, but exactly what the artist disclosed - HDR.
ReplyDeleteAhem...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, Bob and I are friends (I'm being snarky. He knows I think it rocks).
PJ, whew, Im glad to know. I become oddly protective of the artist's work because it's so cool, and he's so cool, and I love that he tries all sorts of new things. Thanks for letting me know!
ReplyDeleteI'm...so...cool? Ah, geez, guys, your going to give me a swelled head, as we used to say. Gonna change my name to a glyph and have people refer to me as the artist formerly known as Bob. And here I thought I was just an obsessive amateur photographer.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, folks...(rimshot) - I really appreciate it when people tell me they enjoy my stuff. A big part of the reason to make these images is some form of communication. Your comments help motivate me to keep pushing.
Anonymous, I'd really like to know who you are. Care to tell me privately at bob-text symbol rhyming with the word "that"- my first and last name squished together into one word - dot - com?
Great Great Great! It's my first visit here! .. hello! please to meet you. I love this HDR!
