Yesterday I got a last minute early morning call from the boy wanting me to watch Jaryd. So we got an extra roadtrip this week. It was real nice and foggy but with the late start the sun was already up pretty high. Luckily the fog was pretty thick for awhile.Glow.
Ghost tree. B&w but not much color in the color version anyway.
Light in the forest.
Backlight.
Baclight-HDR This is an "over the top", in my opinion, HDR version of the previous shot.
Baclight -Mild This is more like the amount of effect I prefer.
The first backlight shot is pretty much straight from the camera and the last is closer to what I saw but I've been shooting a lot of shots with the auto bracketing turned on so I could play with them later using the HDR software. It's very easy to get a gaudy, unnatural look with the adjustments in Photomatix which I think I did in the middle shot. Of course, others may prefer it. While I prefer the more natural look it is fun to play with.
Comments and criticism, hopefully constructive, are welcome. Except for those mentioned all other shots are not HDR.
