The Japanese Maple Tree - Fall 2010 - HDR
Please click here to view this tree large!
This picture was shot on a tripod with three exposures (-2..0..+2 EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tone mapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. 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.
The Japanese Maple Tree in the Fall of 2010! The color is just not quite there and the tree is already pretty bare compared to last year's. Still a beautiful tree nonetheless. See below for my images of the same tree captured around the same time last year!
