Here is a very old shot. I took this on my Lake Moogerah camping trip, early morning, mist rising off the lake, a few clouds about…
What more could you ask for?
This is quite harsh HDR processing, it has brought out a bit of noise, and makes the clouds seem a bit dark and threatening. Normally I don’t go for this more extreme processing, but it just seemed to work best for this image.
The shot was blended from 3 exposures taken at +/- 2.0 EV using my Pentax K200D and the old kit lens Pentax DA 18-55mm AL II (I sold this lens a while back now). The blending was done using Photomatix, tone mapping was done using the Details Enhancer method and final editing was done in Lightroom.
This is quite an old one (relatively) for me to be posting. I recently processed the colour version of this one for a friend. This was taken back on my Queen Mary Falls camping trip.
It is a 3 shot HDR, taken at +/- 2.0 EV and blended using Photomatix Exposure Blending.
Some really nice colours in this one
Well its been raining since the beginning of the weekend here now (on and off raining anyway). Here is a shot I got of some rain clouds in between the showers. Unfortunately the background is a boring grey rather than white or blue sky (or even better more cloud formations)
This is a 3 shot panorama. I shot using the K200D and Jupiter-9 85mm lens with aperture set to f5.6. I made sure to shoot the frames quickly so the movement of the clouds wouldn’t interfere with the stitching.
Shooting and Processing as follows:
- Shot in Pentax RAW (PEF)
- Imported into Lightroom 2.5
- Exported to 3x 16 bit TIFF
- Stitched using Autopano Giga
- Rendered to a single 16 bit TIFF
- Imported new TIFF into Lightroom 2.5
- Applied adjustments in Lightroom (clarity, contrast, white balance)
- Exported to JPG for Web
