IMGP6847stacked part 2-Edit-Edit-Edit
The Pool of Asmodeus.
Just look at those Edit's... ha!
Quite a few steps involved with this shot.
Firstly I realised that F9, ISO 100, meant a 25 sec exposure for a pixelshifted image, this meant that some fern was moving/blurring even after Motion Correction was applied PP (RawTherapee).
So I took a second shot that was higher ISO (1600) but same aperture to capture the motion blurring fern still.
These two shots were then stacked.
Finally a 3rd shot was taken with 50sec exposure for the water, this was stacked on the aforementioned stack to bring about a smoother glossier water affect.
Lots more editing in LR and Topaz (Clarity and Adaptive Exposure) whilst unmasking the affect from the water to keep it with that glossy look).
A labour of love indeed.
Still I am quite happy with the outcome, no highlights blown, a nice exposure and sharp in places with movement only where I wanted it.
