Playing around with Storms

[tdahl-stockParticipant]

I have been playing around with making very dramatic storm images. Not sure there is any resale value but just sometimes fun playing with images and see what it turns into.

Looking good! Did you impose that one on top of the other?

I have a couple of, very suttle, HDR images doing nothing on my harddisk.

Never tried selling them as I was thinking that it wouldn’t sell. “Real” photographers think HDR is fake 🙂

I suppose the only “real” photographers are those that use one of those cameras that creates the print itself immediately – no digital or darkroom processing whatsoever with those

I started out making minor adjustments in Lightroom for the standard image, such as highlights, shadows, whites, and blacks. That is all I did in Lightroom, then I took it into Photoshop. I created a duplicate layer and used Topaz Adjust on it to get the effect I was looking for and then minor adjustments from there, then reduced the “fill” to get the effect to my liking. I made some more minor changes to curves on another duplicate layer. Then used Topaz DeNoise on a last layer reducing the “fill” to my liking.

I just like to create images. Whether it was Ansel Adams in the Darkroom or someone in Photoshop it still takes a “Real” photographer to get a proper image to start with. 🙂

I waste to much time playing around with images. I should take more time uploading everywhere 🙂

On my personal G+ I have a couple of HDR images, including the cover photo: https://plus.google.com/u/0/107795332536543740834/posts/p/pub

Most of the are not that suttle, but mostly experiments.

Jan, for some reason that page is not coming up for me. I tried it in Chrome and IE. It is just a blank grey page. When I hit the page it I see it for a second and then it goes all grey.

I was finally able to view. Good stuff!
