After a senior portrait session in Galveston last week, I decided to roam around a while and photograph anything of interest that I found. I really liked this old building, which, I believe was a brewery at one time.
I wanted to push the grunge look so I produced a HDR image and then further enhanced the look by using nik Color Efex Pro tonal contrast filter.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 at shot at 35mm ISO 200, f/11 and various shutter speeds.
Post Processing: Lightroom 3—Set black and white points, added clarity and mid-tone contrast.
Photomatix Pro—Combined three photos to create and tone map the HDR photo.
Photoshop CS5—used nik Color Efex Pro tonal contrast filter.
I think I would label this one as dark and brooding. Like how the road leads you into the photo and how the palm trees seem to so out of place with the building. You might have over done the grungie look.

Pretty nice photo but it does seem a little dark. Was that your intention.

I like it but it would never hang on my wall; I do not do grunge, which this one is.
