I have gone HDR obsessed. HDR program done with Media Chance makes it an easy process. Its a fantastic medium to show the detail in every chip of the walls and scuff on the floor. I named this one 'The Stairs Between' because of the dramatic difference between the yellow in the downstairs background and the light blue in the upstairs background looked a bit like heaven and hell. This was done with a one shot HDR and then amped up the saturation.

The Chapel Doors Stood Still
The chapel doors at Bannack are among the largest doors in the entire town. I'd like to think they wanted them big enough to welcome all to come in. I layered these three to create the one on top. The stains of the wood are my favorite part of the HDR finish piece. I also turned up the saturation using Media Chance HDR downloaded program and used their Sky smoother tool so that my sky wasn't too grainy.

These are really great shots Rachel! The HDR enhancements really bring out the vibrant colors and the contrast in the little details, without going over the edge and beginning to look unrealistic. You have a great balance all around, giving your eye a lot of room to move around and explore within the image. Keep up the good work Rachel!
ReplyDeleteYou Bannock work is awesome Rachel! Your HDR shots, especially the stair case one, have incredible color, clarity, and just look awesome. Your portrait work is also awesome, the shot of Max with the window light is probably my favorite. You did such a good job with the lighting in those shots, and the composition is perfect.
