HDR On A Few Flowers

Published on August 18, 2009 by Adam J. Bavier. 1 Comment

Took a bunch of flower shots over the weekend, and thought some of them needed a little bit of something to match what I was seeing out there.  I decided to mess around in Photomatix a bit and ended up with the below.  With the shallow depth of field the Photomatix logo really sticks out!  Because of the resizing the image has become softer, so click on the image for a larger view; I’m considering sharpening the smaller images in the future.

Daily Update: The Flower Again

Published on August 14, 2009 by Adam J. Bavier. 0 Comments
I had to take another picture of this flower.  No HDR processing this time.  I did end up having to remove a fly off one of the petals.  Used a very light flash on this picture to try and light up the right side that was in shadows.  I’m a little dissapointed that I could not get the tree to be blurrier.  This camera just has to much depth of field no matter what aperature or zoom level I use.

I used my flash on the Tiger Lillies to light up the bottom side, since the sun was out in full force today.   I stopped the flash down some, so it wasn’t full force.

Daily Update: MN State Capitol

Published on August 13, 2009 by Adam J. Bavier. 0 Comments Tags: , .

Went out for a walk to the Minnesota State Capitol during lunch.  It was nice since there were actually clouds in the sky today.  I really should be out there right now as the sun is going down!  I ended up masking out the fuchsia colored flowers in Gimp to keep them as originally taken, since they were already blurred they looked way out of wack after processing in Photomatix.
