Nice one. With that sky, it looks a bit like HDR.

I'm supposed to link back to the photo page on flickr, according to their TOS, so if you really want to see it, it is here.
 
I visited my mom where she teaches 2nd grade at an elementary school on the day before I moved to Savannah. Got some good shots of her class at recess. I really like this one, it makes me happy and forget all the bad stuff going on in the world. :)

Good shot. Captures the fun of play.

I have the good fortune to teach English to elementary-school children. It is very uplifting, to be sure. The Force is strong in those little ones.
 
Rocky Ridge: HDR and Panorama Stitched

HDR_Rocks_Pano1.jpg


Mt. Beobisan
Daegu, South Korea
Sony DSC R1
iso 160
24mm (f.f. equiv.)
multiple bracketed exposures blended in Photomatix Pro
three angles stitched with DoubleTake

I had a cold this weekend so I couldn't go running. Making lemonade from life's lemons, I went for a hike instead, carting my big camera and a tripod to places I would normally only have run past with a P&S on hand. I was, therefore, able to take some shots had been thinking about for a while.

These rocks have been intriguing me for some time, and seemed a good spot for either an HDR treatment or a panorama work-up. I did both. Panning vertically, I captured three views at 24mm, each with 3 to 6 dark-to-light exposures. (For the low angle view, I took 6 shots, and for the medium and high angle shots I took 3 shots each). At home I generated the 3 tone-mapped, HDR images and then stitched them. I also tried a resizing program, "Downsize", which reduced the file and added the frame and watermark.

It worked out pretty well. I look forward to the fall light and colours to do some more.
 
compare

Some might wonder how HDR and panorama helps. I am finding that, properly applied, it can make a scene look like it does to a person, in person.

Here is one photo from the twelve that went into the Rocky Ridge composite above.

About the only things well exposed are the leaves to the right. Everything else is too dark or too light. That's not how a person sees it, of course.

Also, while i used a quite wide angle on the lens (24mm), you still can't see the tree above the rocks, like you would if you were there.

The difference is remarkable, no?

So, I felt a bit guilty taking pics at a graveyard at night, but I came up with this idea and had to try it out. I'm not overly impressed with my results, however, I did like the idea and will probably attempt to do some more in near future.

Yes. I wouldn't have guessed the unprocessed would look like that. Thanks.
 
I lost all the freakin EXIF settings because I added my watermark and did "save for web" in Photoshop. I had no idea it did that. :(

 
Potholes in a parking lot, I like the light from the lightpoles and how it only luminates the area around them:p
