Ode to HDR

March 7, 2014 by Sébastien Grobelny 12 Comments

Recently Greg posted an article titled “Where in the world is my postcard?“. I received mine on Tuesday and took it to a spin to Time Square during my lunch break. Not sure in hindsight if that was such a good idea between the tourists, high sun and all the construction work at the moment. I shot it with my ipod and as an hommage to Greg, I applied a HDR effect to my submission with Snapseed.

Macro

Macro is an extreme close-up.
I believe these links deserve a close-up 😉

Challenges: PhotoblogChallenges is no more but you can still submit, vote and see results on Celine’s new blog.
Small: with this video you will realize that we don’t account for much
Skynet: Slightly unsettling this video shows a human player in the middle of a game fully created by a computer.
Sick: The title of this video is “Does being cold make you sick?“. Nothing to add, except that Celine taught me this long time ago 😉
Big Cats: Ever wondered what it was like to cuddle with lions? If so, quickly look at this post on PetaPixel
Speaking of big cats: Here’s is the selection from @500px of the best 2013 cats pictures. Pixie from Celine should be here don’t you think?
Commercial: In the same family, here are the best commercial work for 2013 according to 500px
Copyright: A must read on Petapixel with a lot of drama around composites, stock photos and copyrights.
Kyle Thompson: Can’t believe the creativity in these selfies by Kyle.

Once more with feelings – Manhattan skyline

November 8, 2013 by Sébastien Grobelny 1 Comment

I was pretty proud of my recent picture of the Manhattan skyline below.

… and thenI had an interesting discussion with Celine about the role of an editor (thank you!). I tried to apply her directions and comments to a new version. Let me know what you think about it.
