August 29, 2007 HDR Thriller (strong)


Aonach Dubh in HDR, originally uploaded by Mark Turnbull. Click on pic, see it in Flickr.

The detail enhancement at a distance really makes this one pop. HDR and tonemapping gives it almost a 3-D character. As with most of these, it is BEST VIEWED IN LARGE ON BLACK. The photographer, Mark Turnbull, has also prepared a black and white version. I find my eye drawn to different things in it. In the color version my eye goes right to the back mountain; but in the black and white shot, the mountain competes for my attention with the foreground rocks on the right. Interesting how that works.

Oh my! I've seen many of thos HDR pics on flickr and I thought it is an ingenious photo shop effect. I was sad when I was not able to replicate that effect. Thanks to you I now know that you need a special camera for that. Thanks :)
