Day 141
I did head out today with the best of photographic intentions, but things just didn’t seem to go my way. I wasn’t happy with the light, and I didn’t really see any subjects that caught my attention. I knew I had a few more pictures from Maine which I wanted to convert to HDR, so I decided to use one of them today.
This image was made with a Nikon D700, with a Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. I intentionally shot it at the short end of the lens, because I was looking to capture a wide image with a bit of a fisheye effect. The RAW file was processed in Adobe Lightroom and then in Photomatix for the HDR conversion and tone mapping.
I processed this photo with Topaz Adjust in several different ways after the HDR conversion was complete. Some of the results were a little too wild for my taste, so I decided to go with one of the more subdued versions. The HDR process has so many different possible looks that I’m still trying to figure out what I like. The only way to figure this out is to get more experience with the technique, but I’m looking forward to sorting it all out.
