Things Are Looking Up - Mount Wilson, Blue Mountains - The HDR Experience

BEST VIEWED LARGER

As the Northern Hemispere turns to Spring the Southern Hemisphere turns to autumn. This shot was taken in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area in the township of Mount Wilson.

The colours when I visited were great , but with the climate conditions that we are experiencing the colours do not last long.
The natural patterns of autumn, highlighted by the sunlight.

This is a private garden of 12 Acres that is one of the many opened up to the public in autumn and spring>

There is no colour manipulation here it is a good example of what effect pure HDR has on autumn colours, what is brighter to the human eye is emphasised when opened to High Dynamic Range (HDR)

Equipment: Nikon D300 Sigma 10-20mm lens
Technique: 5 Bracketted exposures then processed using Photomatix with a slight adjustment to focus in Capture NX. The colours emphasised by the layering process of HDR.

    Great images Phillip. I like the angle on this one. Do you recommend the purchase of Capture NX?

  • Philip Johnson replied

    capture came with my d300, there is a newer version and i know some pro photographers who use it the majority of time.

    i like it its cheaper alternative

    this shot was taken lying on my back in the middle of fallen leaves , with one eye on the camera and the other watching for spiders and snakes lol
