Pier to Nowhere

San Francisco's Pier 7. Taken on a foggy morning just before sunrise. This is looking back toward what should be the SF skyline. This is an HDR image with only very mild tone mapping used.
Nikon D300 and Nikon 18-200 lens.

This photo is very cool!Even if it is a bit melancholy, I think you did a great work with HDR!

Great wallpaper.. But I couldn't get over the striping on the jpg around the lights.

Nice spooky image! You just have to be careful when tone mapping HDRs with bright light sources, as that will create the strong banding around the lamps. It's only noticeable around the first 2 or 4, of which a little manual post-processing should be able to fix.
I love the scene of the lamps fading into the mist though!

What a fascinating photo. Wonderful composition and depth. As josephwm mentioned, there is banding...but it's not distracting.
Nice to see it large scale on my monitor, especially after voting for it via The Loupe.
Glad to have this in my collection. Cool shot.

Great shot!
Striping/banding: Perhaps this is an IFL issue? We've seen this before on other submissions where the original was fine.

Good pic, but I think it's a little boring. There's nothing really exciting, no "mistakes", rigidness, too straight for MY desktop... thank god - it's purely a matter of taste :)

Thank you for your terrific comments.
I have to say that the banding is not present on the original image.

I agree with the majority here: Wonderful image but would be better if the banding could be fixed.

Amazing work! Exposure is perfect and your tonemapping is subtle. This is a good example how HDR should be done correctly. I am so sick of seeing HDRs processed over the edge. Keep it up.

Very nice mood in this picture, great combination of the fog and the lights, I voted for it ;)

I voted for this picture. I like the foggy-mysterious feeling.

lol Firefox 3.6 resized this image far better than IFL did. Even Microsoft Paint did a better job than IFL. The banding is FAR less noticeable.
So, thank you for the original, TJP! This is one is just too good to pass up!

Beautiful picture, nice and spooky, the fog and lighting are fantastic - really portray an eerie feeling :)

After looking at the original it's clearly not the HDR or any other post-processing by TJP that's producing the banding. Apparently it's due to how IFL processes images. Since bandwidth is expensive, I can understand they want to keep the file sizes down. But sometimes the results are disappointing. Thanks for posting the original for our delectation. :-)
