The 365 - 9/4/17 - Day 43

Happy Monday / Labor Day everyone - I hope everyone is doing well, and if you are State-side I hope had a relaxing day off today.  I was able to get out today and do a couple of photo walks this afternoon, and I am looking forward to seeing what comes out of those files.  For today's post, I wanted to share another from the HDR Collage series.  The image here is a composition of elements of my old neighborhood Red Hook.   I used one shot of rope, a symbol of the old dock community and past, and combined it with a shot of the old Red Hook Trolley.   Part of the fun in this series is working with the software to combine the images and elements creatively to generate something new.  In this case, I used the rope image to hold the cold shadows and the trolley image for the warm highlights.  The result is a very striking blue and red/yellow/orange contrast.  I hope you guys enjoy -
