Landscape Red Rock Low View

Red Rock Low View · 09:15 AM

This is a low ground shot i took of a mountain in the Canyon. I crouched down & held my camera on my foot & took 3 exposures for this picture. I uploaded the pictures into Photomatix & combined the exposures, then dumped the combined image over to Photoshop for some minor adjusting of the contrast, curve & shadows.

Nice looking shot! Must not have had much wind if this is HDR shot since the grass looks stationary.

It could do with straightening.
Nice colours though.

Was the scene tilted on purpose?
This is a nice capture also, though with similar issues to your previous HDR submission - a little strong on the colours, and here the clouds don't seem to have been mapped to save the blown highlights all that well.
But a fine shot nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks you guys for the feedback. I've just recently started practicing with the multi exposures & HDR processing. I can easily see how HDR can be overdone & do more harm than good if you're not careful!

Again, thanks!

Though, you have done a good job, IMO. I've toyed with it myself and I know that it's not a simple as falling off a log. You need to have a suitable site and conditions to make it work. Fortunately, you have the originals that you can work with and fiddle with the photos until you get what you want.
