I actually was headed to another location this morning and then spotted this bridge made out of rocks and thought it has lots of character. I decided to stop and snap some shots. It's so funny, I think I am only taking a handful of photos and then I get hope to download and realize I took hundreds! I have got to control this habit!
Best viewed large.
Your images are so rich. Would you possible share some of your processing tips (if you process!)? I'd love to try to achieve some of the saturated feel I see in many of your beautiful landscapes.
@kerristephens@scott189@bdb3471 Thank you! @kriswashington Thank you so much Kris! This shot was done with HDR at 3 different exposures and then combined. I like to tone the HDR down a bit depending on the shot, hopefully making it look more realistic. On this shot I increased the contrast slightly and adjusted the shadows to bring out more depth. I believe that was it on this shot. I notice the saturation seems to increase from the HDR effect. I have had to bring down the saturation before, because it was over done. Hope that helps! I appreciate the interest and don't mind sharing! @michelleyoung@caatjeg@glb484@soozieqt@smallenburg@shanne Thank you so much! @foolmoon Thank you so much and for the fav too!! @jenrobcarr@johnnyfrs@sparkle@louisefrance@hudd@orangecrush@yoshi Thank you so much!
So pretty, what a great find. Love the long exposure on this too. Do you carry a tripod with you all the time (you need it for HDR don't you?). My new camera has this function but I haven't tried it out yet.
@jodimuli@sjodell Thank you so much! @kiwichick Thank you Lesley! Yes, I do have the tripod in the car, but I didn't have it on this shot. I wished I had it, but instead of going back, I balanced the camera on a rock. It's a little tricky with the long shutter speed and not all my shots were blur free, hence the several shots I took today!! It would have been a whole lot easier with a tripod! It sure has been addicting using the HDR method!
I do the same thing Wendy!
and I forget to clear my SD card so now I have 100s of shots to filter through haha
