I will be posting 2 versions of this shot - a full HDR and a natural exposure blend. I like both for varying reasons.
This shot was taken on a lookout point over the Olifants River in the Kruger National Park. I created a 3-shot HDR in Photomatix, and blending some detail back from the original shots in Photoshop.
We couldn't stay for sunset as we had to reach our camp by the time the gate closes...so I had to attempt a decent f22-sunflare in this shot. I like the way the vibrant colours came out in this one - something lacking in the natural blend. I wish there were some clouds in the sky...but alas we take what we get.
Your comments will be highly appreciated. I will post the natural exposure blend later in the week. Tonight is our wedding anniversary so I will probably only reply to suggestions by tomorrow :)
