Park Path

I took this at Valley Forge Park. I did notice the stem in the foreground after I uploaded the shots to my Mac.

I have not had a lot of luck getting good color in HDR in the past. After a bit of trial and error I got this. How did I do in making this a dreamy pic?




3 shots at various speeds. +/-1, 0
f/14
ISO 100
Nikon D5000
52mm on a tripod.
No remote

Welcome to DPS. I think you've got some nice colors and have succeeded in producing the dreamy quality. I do see that you have some very dark areas on the tree trunks and some of the highlights on the leaves in the foreground look blown out. Perhaps you could have also taken shots at -2 & +2? Hopefully, someone with HDR experience will add to the thread.

Agreed, this would have been perfect for a 3 shot HDR. Google it to learn more, it's really pretty simple and would give awesome results with a high-dynamic range subject like this. good work though.

Okay, this isn't going to help you at all, because I don't know enough about PP to help, but I love this photo! Seriously, it catches me. I really really love it! Just so you know.
