New volcanic gravel floor in our 1930s high desert ranch garage- fisheye HDR
We live on a 640-acre ranch in the high desert, in Big Valley, California.
We decided to lay down a new gravel floor in our crude 1930s garage. The gravel is often called "Cinders", and is actually pumice from a long-past volcanic eruption.
All of the "stuff" on the floor/ground needed to be moved out or over to make way. Now that this side is done, back over we'll go with some of the stuff, and out with the rest to prepare for the second half to be graveled.
This image was made with my Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens at f/5.6, mounted on my Nikon D600 DSLR. ISO100.
The yellow light in the rafters came from my Nikon SB-600 Speedlite with a knock-off Sto-Fen CTO in place (Not sure if 1/2 or full).
I had the rig on a tripod, and shot 4 or 5 frames at 3-stop intervals, then combined in Photomatix, and tweaked with Nikon Capture NX-D beta.
