Shootout Number Ten...........

[480sparky]

Another batch, these fresh from the D7K.

Full size images here:

EV -2
EV 0
EV +2

All were hand-held, so you might need to align them. Metadata attached. Sorry about the red car parked on the other side.... edit it out if you wish.

Here's my take on it
Dynamic Photo HDR 5
Lightroom 3.3
Photoshop CS5 Mask layer with underexposed one for ground & highlight control brush set to 50% opacity.
Frame Actions for the frame

 

[480sparky]

Luminance
Auto Align
Profile 1
PreGamma 1.000
Mantuik '08
Saturation 1.500
Contrast Enhancement 10.00

Results forwarded to Gimp 2.6 to reduce blue saturation of sky in chrome and desaturate & alter reds to color similar to paint so it 'disappears'.

Good job on the chrome. I left a little blue in mine.

What's your process?

What's your process?

brought it through photomatrix. then into lightroom where I desaturated the reds and blues, bumped up the exposure a bit and the contrast, added clarity and sharpening. Then took it to cs5 where I finished desaturating the blues (for the sky reflection) and the yellows (for ground reflection) and added a mask painting on the chrome. Then I added a brightness and contrast layer bumped up both and applied the mask for the chrome on it.

I know this is an old resurrected thread, but damn it I didn't realise that until I'd spent time doing it so you can damn well have my effort too.

All in PSCS5. Merged to HDR Pro, adjusted sliders until happy. Converted to B&W because i thought the photo lent itself well to it and adjusted whites, neutrals and blacks until I got a good contrast. Then for artistic flair added a 16:9 border and created a fake vignette with the burn tool.

I know this is an old resurrected thread, ...

... and there will be more I started practising my HDR and tone mapping skills with these shootouts.


Here's another try.

Tinbird, you can't add your signature to these shots....

And darn it, here's my take!!
