The last time I went to Old Town San Diego, I took some photos of the Whaley House. Behind the Whaley House, I found this little place. The Creole Cafe. It’s probably one of the most photogenic buildings in Old Town. It’s an old New Orleans-style cafe that matched the same old-style vibe as the city’s rest. It even had a gas lamp out front. Also, it’s right in the backyard of the very haunted Whaley House. I really wish the ghost would have given me a sign of its presence.
This is a Night HDR photo. It’s more difficult to shoot HDR once it’s completely dark. The color balance is really hard to get right since there is no point of reference. You have to experiment a lot and go for more of a look. I guess that’s true for a lot of HDR photography.
I processed this photo using the Exposure Fusion Technique. My HDR Tutorials are in my Complete HDR How-To Guide.
