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.
