INTERIORS WITH HDR THAT LOOK REAL

On a trip to stay in the mountains of Georgia a few weeks ago I promised my sister I would do a couple of interior photographs to show the new look of the main room to help her rent the cabin.

I decided to do it with multiple exposures and blend them later rather than taking the time to light the rooms which I am not a fan of and honestly think unless you have a crew with you requires too many lights and then can look lit.

I photographed nine different exposures of each angle and then blended them in NIK HDR EFX Pro 2.  It was my first time to use their HDR application and I have to say I was very impressed with overall ease of use and the results.

Below are two images with a couple of exposures of each I pulled to show the best exposures I could produce in a single photograph for either the lit side of the room of the side of the room in shadow and what I was able to produce with NIK. 

After blending the seven exposures I then cut out and pasted the fire from one of the exposures and put it into the final HDR image using the transform tool and blending it normal at about 80%.  You have to play with the blending a bit so that it matches the rest of the photograph but usually 60-80% with give good results.  

The final move was to add a slight contrast curve and the results as you can see are natural and light.

Oak Tree

I photographed this majestic tree at Point Park in 

Chattanooga, Tennessee and then processed it in

Color EFEX Pro 4.

It would look great in any room in home, office, 

hotel or business.  It can be purchased at the link below:

Jungle Journey - The Path

This is the follow up image to my world famous

image Jungle Journey.  It took me ten years 

to find the image that would convey the

same emotions and feelings as the original

but this one surely does so.

I hope this image will bring as much happiness and hope

to people as the other has throughout the years.

It is available at FineArt American at the link below

and will be the perfect addition to any room 

decor.

Sunlight on the Ocean

This photograph is sunlight reflecting off 

very calm water in Florida.  Using Photoshop I distorted 

the image and then applied a motion blur

filter to achieve the effect.  

This photograph would look great on any wall in the home, office, restaurant,

business lobby, hotel, in fact just about any interior.

It can be purchased at Fine Art America on both photographic paper and canvas

 at the link below up to 38.5X84 inches

 

Old Hands With Wrinkles

These are the hands of an Ifugao Indian womn in the 

Infugao Province, Philippines.  The province is located in 

far north on the main island of Luzon.

To me when I met her and looked at her hands they told

me a story of he life, how hard it was to work the rice

terraces, to survive.  

Originally I produced this is color but later decided 

to produce it in black and white which in ways gives 

the image more depth.

Below are both the black and white and color version.

This photograph would look great on any wall in the home, office, restaurant,

business lobby, hotel, in fact just about any interior.

Bridge Over River

The is the bridge crossing over the Manatee River between Palmetto, Florida 

and Bradenton, Florida.  The image was originally photographed

using a iPhone 4s and then produced in Photoshop

using multiple layers.

This photograph would look great on any wall in the home, office, restaurant,

business lobby, hotel, in fact just about any interior.

Jungle Journey Photograph

  

I am quite often contacted by people asking if there is a vertical version

of the photograph Jungle Journey.  The answer is yes.  Not only is there a vertical

but there are black and whited versions as well as several others.

Any of these photographs will look great on any wall in the home, office, restaurant,

business lobby, hotel, in fact just about any interior.

The vertical can be purchased at Fine Art America on both photographic paper and canvas
