North Head Lighthouse 2 - Ilwaco, Washington - HDR
Please click here to view this large!
This picture was shot on a tripod with nine exposures (-4..-3..-2..-1..0..+1..+2..+3..+4 EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tonemapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. 1 layer mask to increase the contrast of the grey 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.
One of the stops during our last trip to the Coast was at Cape Disappointment State Park, where North Head Lighthouse and Cape Disappointment Lighthouse are located. This is North Head Lighthouse. I will post Cape Disappoint Lighthouse images on my next uploads.
