Back Hoe 2 - HDR

Please click here to view this backhoe large!

 

This picture was shot on a tripod with five exposures (-4..-2..0..+2..+4EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tone mapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. 1 layer mask to increase color and contrast in the sky. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Used Nik Sharpener Pro to sharpen image.

 

Was driving by again and this is the progress in just a few weeks from an empty lot. See below. Looks like the back hoe has been a busy boy! Presented in full HDR!
