As you’ve no doubt heard me mention before, Austin’s skyline has changed dramatically over the last 5 years with the addition of several large condominium buildings. This image shows 3 of the new, iconic towers – a sliver of the Springs building on the left, the 360 tower in the middle and the Austonian on the right.
This is a 5 exposure HDR processed in Photomatix and Lightroom 3. It was taken from the Austin railway station around sunset. The colours were less than impressive last night so I opted for a monochrome treatment.
Its been years I visited Austin. And here is the proof. Such big buildings.
By the way, are these really silver in color? Or some kind of moon reflection in the night?
RadhaKumar, these buildings are reflective but not silver. I processed the photo as a black and white then toned it slightly to give the colour you see here. The HDR processing also tends to make shiny objects appear even more reflective so that probably accentuates the metallic feel in the image.
