March 01 2011 - Golden Goal

Canada scores hockey gold, Vancouver 2010.
Parties ensue in Vancouver streets.
Okay, so I'm one day late.... the one-year anniversary was yesterday.  This is one of many shots I got the afternoon of that win.  I randomly selected this one to experiment with HDR.  I am using a trial version of the HDR software, Photomatix.  Hence the annoying watermark.  I liked the blur I got in many of these shots; it captures, I think, the frenetic and spontaneous nature of the celebration (although this pic was pushing it just a little).  The HDR emphasizes the surreality of the moment... imho.  What do you think?

  1. okay, and now that I look at it more closely, I clearly need to learn how to eliminate ghosting (buildings in background), and how to deal with the sky. don't understand why it happens but HDR drains sky of blue. Anyone know how to put it back back in?
