Is there such a thing as Dystopian Romantic?
There is a grungy, dystopian feel and yet the lines are so clean, the colours, clear.
I am loving the Melbourne pictures that show a different side.
Usually it is all happy tourist, parks and gardens and architectural bits.

I like that term, it should be a thing if it isn't already

You're shots have such an awesome, consistent style to them. Photomatix looks like it can do really good things. Can you compare to tweaking levels and hdr toning in photoshop/lightroom to that? I'd really love to know how they compare.

Sorry this took a day longer than expected, I tried the best I could to make it look similar using the file>automate>merge to HDR pro option in photoshop CC 2014, I think I ended up with stronger highlights and a bit less detail overall, but the HDR merging/toning in photoshop has definitely gotten better since the last time i tried it.

I don't have a lot of experience with doing HDR merging/toning in photoshop, but I've found that it tends to make more "natural" looking HDR images, without as much detail or grittiness.Β I'll give this image a go with photoshop later today and post it as a reply to your comment

This looks like a movie set. I'm waiting for a villain to run through here in the shadows.

It'd make a good set, although you'd have to shoot in the middle of the night to catch it without a bunch of tourists around.
