Mail Boxes

The Story

 

In the summer I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on a Route 69 Road Trip in the USA. Part of the trip took us to The Joshua Tree National Park on the edge of which this shot was taken. In the UK we dont hve mail boxes so this was a real novelty to me and my kiddies

 

The Shot

 

3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens handheld

Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.

Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.

Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.

The noise reduced with Noiseware .

Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.
