What a perfect way to satisfy the nature theme of our challenge…. I present to you the Nature Center at Allaire State Park. This place is off the beaten path and it looks like it hasn’t been used in quite some time. A perfect scene for HDR photography. High contrast in the sky and shadows of the overhang. Speaking of HDR, for those still skidish about indulging in this popular technique, the modern day guru of HDR, Trey Ratclif, has a new and concise tutorial on the use of Photomatix. That video can be found here. I think you should check it out to see just how easy it can be.
4 shot HDR processed in Photomatix and finished in Lightroom
Looks like Davy Crockett may have built it. Thanks for the link!
Wonderful composition and processing.
I really enjoy looking at the depth of the colour saturation in this pic.
Great composition…love the pop of light on the left and the repetition
Thanks, Mike. When I watched the video I realized I had missed the update to 4.1.1. Now I’m up to date!
great job, I feel as I can just walk into this scene.
as always, a great processing. Thanks for the link, hopefull even I can learn something from that
Wonderful log buildings that really allow the HDR processing to shine.
