Brave New Mall

This is an image you simply could not create with a single conventional exposure.

It's a handheld HDR, this time using only two exposures: Photomatix HDR and tone-mapping based on two camera JPEGS, exported as TIFF, adjusted in Lightroom, exported as JPEG for the web. I tried to keep it looking 'real' this time, but if you snoop around in the image you'll see a few anomalies. I didn't take the trouble to bring it into Photoshop and fix everything properly.

Amazingly decent result considering the completely ad hoc nature of the entire enterprise.
