Landscapes

Original Post: 02MAY2017

It has been a while since my last post. Many months actually but here is my latest.

I have been working on landscapes. Only a few but I have been working on technique that will make the images pop. It isn’t a new concept. I’m talking HDR. Not like the iPhone HDR or those really over cooked HDR photos.

Anacortes Dock

This image was a stack of three pictures. The first one was taken to get the highlights of the sky, the second was taken to gather all the mid tones of the building and boats and the last one was to get all the shadows.

I like to use Lightroom to edit and stack the photographs. I didn’t do much editing to this photograph. I kind of just stacked them and called it a day. I could have made more adjustments but I wanted to keep the natural feel that I captured with my eyes.

 

Below is another stacked image.

San Diego Stack

This was a shot that I took while I was in San Diego. This was the first image that I stacked and gave me the motivation to keep trying to take more landscape photos.

In my next post I will show some of the images from my recent trip to San Diego, CA.

I will also be on a trip to Greece and some locations in between. Look out for those.

Enjoy!
