Will's High Dynamic Range Photograph

[Brad]

Every once in a while I find a shot where HDR works. But, most of the time I throw away any attempts to use it. I normally take 3 pictures for the set - 2 clicks apart. Then I do not use an automatic HDR processing mode. I use Photomatix Pro. I work with the image to try to get it to be as real as possible but pull things out of the shadows a bit.

He is one for example



It is fun to play with, but not a normal image.

Was there really fog up that valley or is that an artifact of the HDR?

The humidity was very high and it was very cold. Just a few clouds but it looked like it was snowing a little. The humid air was freezing. So, there was ground fog and frost on everything. The HDR processing pulled the fog out of the dark, but it was there.

Erich, thanks for the EXIF Data. I didn't think to save the photo and pull that info out.

Brad, I know your photo of the Mount Washington Hotel isn't normal, but it really looks good.
