Project 365 - Day 6
I was tempted to start constructing an Ark today because I was sure a flood was a-comin' lol. We had downpours all day and 50-60 mph winds and there several flood warnings in our area. I took the photo above through our sliding glass door this afternoon. Even though it looks like the color was changed to black and white, that is the actual color photo I took. That is how gray it was today. On to something brighter...
A few months ago I came across the photography website Stuck In Customs which features primarily HDR photos. The webmaster, Trey Ratcliff, is a fantastic photographer and focuses on the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique with most of his photos. HDR is a post-processing technique that adds alot of contrast, depth, and dimension to a photo and makes the colors much more vibrant. The colors in the finished product are still natural, but just more enhanced. When I saw Trey's work I knew I had to learn more about this type of process and try it myself.
Below is a photo taken in September that I have posted here before. It is straight out of the camera and has not been edited at all (other than resizing it). I thought this would be a good photo to test this technique out on. This is the before:

And this is after applying the HDR processing:
You can click on the photo above to enlarge it which will show a lot more detail. This is my first attempt at this and I am pretty happy with the result. I cannot wait to get out and take some more photos so I can try this again!
you definitely can see a difference in the two pictures from the you "tweaked" and the original one you took, very interesting technique!
