The good thing about waking up at 6am to see the glaciers at College Fjord is to witness the magnificent sunrise that goes with it. HDR image created from one RAW file processed in Lightroom and Photomatix and post processed in Photoshop.
Malmoe, Sweden. Running towards the harbour with my Nikon D60 in one hand and my tripod in the other. The sky slowly fading to dark but I had some minutes before scenaio pitch black. The view is from The Western Harbour in Malmoe over the bridge that connects Sweden to Denmark and Copenhagen.
Originally taken in RAW. I increased the color temp and tint to give it a sepia tone. With the sunshine falling down between the clouds, it worked better than just the regular blue sky.
I snapped this shot of some California golden poppies (the state flower) as I was walking around. I liked the beautiful orange and yellow colors of the petals on the green background. The DOF was just what I wanted.
Since Barack Obama and his family visited Yellowstone National Park as well, there was just a little too much Secret Service for me and my camera. ;-) So, I decided to continue my photo safari trip to Banff National Park, where I encountered this beautiful, emerald colored lake. Technique: HDRI made using 3 of the 7 exposures (Smart object method) and then processed in PS with Nik Color Efex and curves.
