Day at the Park (fishing)

vipgraphx · Dec 30, 2011

I took the kids to the park today and tested out their new fishing poles. I am not a fisherman thats for darn sure. I always take my camera with me because you never know, plus I wanted to take some pictures of them fishing for the first time. Nothing spectacular but I think they are pleasant in their own way. Pictures were taken about 4-5pm sun was on the west of us with harsh shadows.

Here are a few HDR's of our trip, trying to keep these more realistic for this set. :sexywink:

Like the tree! Almost expect to see a hobbit or something wander by!

This is more in line what I prefer an HDR to look like. Just a bit of haloing around the trees in #1 but thats easily fixed.

Yeah the halo fails

my sorry but shot in Jpeg and not raw so it was a pain processing the image and adjusting theSky. I kept getting banding in the sky. Need to remember to shoot RAW!

Very cool. I, too, prefer HDR this way. Nice job.

All 3 pictures work well. I Especially like the 3 boys fishing. BTW, did they catch anything? Going for some type of Sunfish, worm pieces and a bobber work great.
