About
This is my 2nd upload from my ice cold trip through the nature reserve ‘Het Broek’, another
vertorama, plenty of more to come in 2009 !
My quick and easy Vertorama Tutorial can be found here :
The shot
Standing on a small wooden bridge, which is too narrow to be able to pass another person, not that you encounter anybody this early when it’s -9°C ;D
2 x Standard 3 exposures HDR [-2,0,+2EV] in RAW/ISO100 at f/11 using the Sigma 10-20mm lens, on a tripod.
Photomatix
Tonemapped using the detail enhancer.
Photoshop.
° Vertorama stitching with my predefined action ( see above for the tutorial ).
° Shadows and highlights.
° A little extra blue saturation for the sky.
° A little less blue saturation for the ground.
° A tiny bit of dodging on the ice.
° High pass sharpening ( see here for explanation ).
You
All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are ( as always ) welcome.
Music
Before you get sick of all the awful christmas songs they force down your precious ear canals,
here some lovely antidote :
Hooverphonic – The Magnificent Tree/2 Wicky – Live @ Casa139
