HDR’ed and I Don’t Care

Lately I have been shying away from the HDR look. This is a grungy look that many photographers use to add artistic effects to their shots. It really is used to recover shadow and highlight details in images by combining multiple exposures of different ranges in exposure together. Sometimes in can be done in such a way that the image looks very natural. Other times it kind of goes over the edge. This is one of those other times. It works though with big old locomotive and the sky and the colors.  Shot with a Nikon D800e on a tripod. 24-70mm lens. Processed in Capture One then the output was HDR’ed in Photomatic.

In Canada This Week

Wet Grass In A Field, Cremore, Canada
Wet Grass In A Field, Cremore, Canada

I am in Canada this week working on my new business luminous-landscape.com. Doing a lot of planning and meetings to make sure we have all aspects under control moving forward. Lots of ideas to make a great site even better. Very exciting times. Michael Reichmann and I will work and in the afternoon go out shooting. You know how it is as a photographer. You got get out there and shoot. This picture was made in a field yesterday. It was right after a rain storm and I loved the way the drops of water clinged to the grass. I also thought B&W worked best for this image. Shot with a Nikon D800e and 24-70mm lens. Processed in Capture One and converted to BW while still a RAW.
