The Daily Photoist: hydroplane

Every weekday, we pick an image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It's our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve!

The impact resulting from high dynamic range imaging (HDR) certainly doesn't make it a stranger to Photoist. But often times the transformation it does to subtle details can be overwhelming by turning multiple elements into focal points. The impressive void photographed by fasheezee has a relatively simple palette and composition. Applying the HDR technique, it suddenly becomes much more textural in quality and highlights small details that do not compete with each other.
