APhotography
Great image. I guess that you mounted the camera on a tripod for the photo and that there was quite a bit of post processing? I ask I’m new to digital and have only recently changed from a film Nikon F55 to a digital Nikon D80. Once again lovely shot.
Steve Liptrot replied
Just a bit! Its actually a HDR of 3 RAW vexposures blended with Photomatix Pro3 then tweaked in Photoshop Elements 6. I use a tripod for about 85% of my work.
Mark Heller
Great shot Steve. This is one of my faves of yours. Love the reflection! That arch and the view beneath it. Like looking through a portal. It adds so much interest!
Steve Liptrot replied
Thank you Mark, I couldn’t believe how calm the river was.
