Wingnut and I were at the town beach at Crystal Lake when the clouds began to move in again. This is another HDR image. It has highlighted and dramatized the cloud formation. You don't need HDR settings on your camera. You only need to take three different exposures and then you can combine the three photos. I use Photomatix but there are other ways to do this (click here for a Google search for HDR Tutorials). When clicked, this photo will open, full size, in a new window.UPDATE: My thanks to Andy and Aaron for helping me convert this image from 8 meg to 379 kb. I never pay attention to sizes because of my huge amounts of storage here. So when Andy told me how big it was and how long it was loading, I tried to fix it. But couldn't. But now it is fixed. Thank you both!
Thank you for visiting.

Fabulous picture! Loved the HDR effect. Might I suggest that you downsize the image though, it took about 3 minutes for the image to fully render here, looks to be about 8 Meg. Perhaps you should display the smaller image initially and link to the larger image?
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion, the photo is great! Thanks for sharing.
This is something I must try... your last few pictures have amazed me.. I do enjoy my visits here.. sky Watch day or any day..
ReplyDeletePlease forgive this 'copy & paste part of my comment but I am on my rounds checking all the links but wanted you to know I have seen your post and will try to get back again.
On behalf of all other Sky Watchers the team thank you for taking part this week.
