HDR Photography | No Streaks Till Brooklyn

HDR Photography “No Streaks Till Brooklyn” – Whenever I visit New York, I always find myself gravitating towards Brooklyn. Maybe it’s because Brooklyn has some killer photography spots, or maybe it’s because I grew up hearing my idols rave about it. Either way, there’s definitely something special about this neighborhood. This particular visit to New York was a pit stop on our month-long road trip across America. As we drove from California to the East Coast we played the Beastie Boys album Licence to Ill on repeat in the car. There’s one particular track that always gets us excited called “No Sleep Till Brooklyn!” One night we decided to jump on the Brooklyn Bridge and capture some night shots. I composed this photo a bit off-kilter to capture the light streaks below. After processing the image in Lightroom, I thought it would be funny to title the photo “No Streaks Till Brooklyn!” Check out the larger version of this photo here or on Google Plus!

Post Processing & Camera Settings.

To process this image, I used the Presetpro Creative Flow Lightroom Presets, Profiles, and Brushes (I used Lightroom Profiles included in The Creative Flow to color grade this image). Next, I created a copy of this image in Aurora HDR and used the Presetpro Aurora HDR Presets. Finally, I imported all images into Photoshop to blend and do a little sharpening.
