After The Storm...HDR

Camera King · Jan 4, 2017

Got so very lucky this morning, work was canceled and the sky was clearing after a winter storm had passed through our area. The light was fantastic so I grabbed my new P3S and went outside to capture it. Yes, I was still in my house slippers and bathrobe...but I did not care...I did not want to miss the moment.
A 5 shot exposure, blended in Photomatix and cleaned up a bit in Lightroom. Then into NIK effects for the finishing touch.

Very nice. I still have not played with HDR. With the opportunities with the new drone, I will have to learn.

I have been shooting for HDR photos for 4 years now, and would encourage you to give it a try. Trust me, I am no rocket scientist...and If I can learn it, so can you. Just needs practice and some good software for editing. I personally feel that it helps make up for the P3S lower quality camera. Any boost in the dynamic range is an improvement IMHO. Thanks for looking.
