Damp North Shore Fall

This is a photo from the Big Sucker Creek along Lake Superior's North Shore. It is actually three photos taken at different exposures combined into an HDR (Hi Dynamic Range) image, and then mapped back into the color space that a computer can display. I have been trying a number of different programs to produce this sort of image, and this particular one was merged and tone mapped in Google's HDR Efex Pro 2, which is part of the Nik Collection.

Dandelion

Canon T4i - 5/23/2015 - f-5.6 - 1/250 - ISO 250 - 135mm eqv.

I took this image because the colors caught my eye. It was a sunny afternoon and the back lighting that it was providing was really making the colors pop. As far as editing goes this one was fairly simple, with slight sharpening, and color balance tweaks.

Old Grain

Canon T4i - 5-16-2015 - F-5 - 1/400 sec. - ISO 100 - 50mm eqv.

This image is a edited version of an image taken in a partially drained reservoir. I spent a fair bit of time tweaking the image to bring out the wood grain, and give the image more of a sense of place.
