hey guys...
here's a shot i took this morning (5:30 :O) blended two shots together (sky and grass) to keep the high contrast situation controlled (sortof like a graduated neutral density filter keeps the tones inside the films dynamic range.. enjoy :-D Vito |

Very nice effect... I gotta ask though, how painstaking was the post-process?
 Whatever the effort, to me was worth it. Nice job...Dave... |

hey guys
the process isn't particularly painstaking...as long as it's setup correctly... it's a real pain to have to mess with the two images to get them to line up right, so it's best to use a tripod, and avoid movement when changing settings... for a 'better' blend, it would be very difficult, with the using of different opacity brushes at different sizes to get some detail in the trees...but to keep it how it is..it's pretty much a straight sweep with a soft brush (using a mask...if you have elements...the same can be done with the eraser...just a bit tougher, because you can fix your mistakes) and then painting in (with a mask) or erasing the rest of the sky.. all in all, it's not bad...but REALLY worth the color in the sky (or the detail in the field!) thanks for looking  Vito |

Vito;
I am a Photoimpact user, and it has built-in, a High Dynamic Range function, that can blend bracketed exposures into a single image. There are other programs, and, I believe, Photoshop actions which do the same thing. The major limitations of these, of course, are having exactly the same elements in each picture, though PI does have a way to brush out parts of one that you don't want included in the final image.(a person moving into the picture, for example) I have used it on occasion when I needed detail in both highlights and shadows. brian |

Here's a photo I took using method #2 from the Luminous Landscape tutorial using bracketed exposures of -1EV and +1EV, but I like Vito's better.

Great job Vito. I really respect your work. I have to say though that the background is not that interesting in this shot. The sky is defintely nice, but the trees are a little boring.However, I think this kind of shot is great practice for this technique. I am sure you're gonna impress me again with another one soon. Keep up the good work. best regards
