More from Africa

Thanks to Emily for the great pictures.

Fragments and HDR

We took some more pictures today at Long Hunter State Park, Nashville. I bracketed several images without a tripod. It was too windy to line up the images properly for HDR, so I approached it a different way.






The last one here is an HDR image processed in Photomatix, but made more dramatic by duplicating the layer and changing the blend mode to 'Soft Light' with reduced opacity.
