Day 143
Today’s post is another single-shot HDR photo, which I shot some time ago. In its original form I was going to use this for a Christmas card last year, but then I decided to use another photo. I reprocessed it as an HDR to see what kind of different look I could achieve.
The photo was made with a Nikon D700, with a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR lens. Some of the shots which I took at this location had a nice reflection in the river, but those needed to be framed in portrait orientation to show the whole scene. The RAW file was originally processed in Adobe Lightroom, and the was just archived for future use. The HDR processing was done with Photomatix, and I also used Nik’s Color Efex to bring out the color in some of the foliage.
This photo was taken along the Ausable River near Wilmington, NY. I’m hoping to be able to take a trip up to that region again shortly, since I need to start getting Christmas Cards ready to send out. Hopefully my schedule will coincide with some fresh snowfall so that I will have a choice of winter scenes for this years cards.
