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.

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

filter to achieve the effect.

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 is the reflection of the setting sun on water.
This is part of the series I am working on with movement.
Originally the photograph was taken at a slow shutter speed and
gave the image movement but I exaggerated the motion
by blurring it in Photoshop.

The photograph symbolizes our Second Amendment rights in the United States, freedom and that we will fight to defend our freedoms. This photograph is perfect for the wall decor of almost any room in the house or business lobby, hotel or hall particularly for any business dealing in firearms. A beautiful piece of modern art that will add to the overall decor of your home or office.

I photographed this image in of the Eiffel Tower in Paris
on the first evening I lived there. It was during the winter
and the trees were bare with a light snow falling.
