Ontario - HDR cog

This isn't really a cog. And the cog isn't at all rusted! Its natural colour is dark iron brown.

 

This cog was hung on a nail inside the door of the cabin. On the floor of the cabin were old, abandoned tools for all manner of jobs. It's hard to believe that these artifacts and solid metal tools are just moldering away in rural Ontario! But they are. They're lying around, abandoned, absolutely *everywhere*.

 

I took an NEF (RAW) image, fooled around the exposures artificially and then created this HDR with Boozysmurf's help in photomatix. That halo effect? Not sure how to get rid of it. I'm not even sure how we MADE this image. It's a mystery! However, it's also the first HDR I've worked on, and so I am satisfied. Not bad for a first attempt!
