Dramatic Sunset, originally uploaded by Hussain Shah..

I know that I am repeating this angle again and again, but I couldn’t resist this nice view that day.
Taken at Shuwaikh Beach, Kuwait City, Kuwait.

Marina Waves (HDR), originally uploaded by GTM (M. Alreshaid.).

I went to see Rambo 4 today, it was an okay movie. lot’s of action and explosions as expected from a Rambo movie….which for some odd reason made me want to take photos afterwards.

I couldn’t help noticing the clouds, and since Marina Waves was close to me and was always a subject I wanted to do in HDR. I took a brief detour, got some shots and photomatixed them. I used a B+W Polarizer filter to bring out the colors and eliminate the reflections from the water.

As usual with my HDR shots, 5 exposures combined in Photomatix and edited in Photoshop CS2 the final touches. I found this particular HDR quite noisy out of Photomatix, which required some extra careful work.

Since I don’t normally take shots like this, I’m quite pleased with it. I just wish I knew better ways to control noise in Photomatix.
