Posting this image for the Sweet Shot Tuesdays hosted by Kent Weakley. The day was quite bright with gorgeous clouds floating across the sky, and I had been eyeing this tree nearly every day. Literally. I drive this road each time I leave my house.
So on this day, I stopped the Tahoe in the middle of the road and hopped out for a few snaps. Because of the extreme range of light, the shot straight out of the camera was quite unappealing. So I processed the photo in Photomatix, tonemapping the image to bring the photo to life. I then finished the processing in Photoshop.
Would you like to see the original? Here it is, next to the processed image:
Very nicely done! I too am a fan of the "lone tree," and have one that I've driven by so many times . . . on the freeway. I've never been able to stop. So I might paint it one day.
ReplyDeleteGreat processing on this one!
