Winter's Grip...

I finally found the tractor I have been looking for. I saw this old antique from the road and thankfully had my camera in tow. I braved the 3 feet of snow and frigid Newfoundland winds but I finally got my shot I’d been waiting to get.

    I like your work (otherwise I would not leave comment, due time constraints).
    Below my reasons for it and my honest opinion.
    Please don’t feel de-motivated if some honest feedback is given.
    I always mean it in a positive way. And in all, it’s just my perception anyway.

    Impact (does it grab attention?): yes

    Composition (use of space, lines): centered but works very good

    Subject matter: very interesting

    Focal point: front part and strong center colors. very good

    Style (story): superb

    Lighting: very moody, very good

    Color balance: superb

    General: Superb frame

    This is an amazing photo. I am relatively new here so forgive me if I overstep my bounds. I love the look of HDR and was wondering how you do it. Do you do it in multiple shots or do you just use one shot and adjust it in photoshop or another program?

  • Kevin Kroeker replied

    When doing HDR shots I take multiple exposures shootig in RAW format and then use photomatix and lightroom to process.
