About
Sunset at the lake of the nature reserve 'Het Broek'.
The shot
Originally 8 x Standard 3 exposures HDR [-2,0,+2EV] in RAW/ISO100 at f/11 using the Sigma 10-20mm lens, on a tripod.
In the end a good deal was cropped of to leave about 5 shots ...
Photomatix
Tonemapped using the detail enhancer.
Photoshop
° Cylindrical stitching.
° Some manual repair work on a few areas that had slight stitching problems.
° Cropped.
° Shadows & Highlights
° Curves with a mask to only affect the water.
° Color balance towards yellow and red to accentuate the evening feeling.
° Cooling filter with a mask to get a bit more blue at the top of the sky.
° Some manual highlight dodging on the water.
° High pass sharpening ( See here for description )
with a mask to not sharpen the noisy sky.
° Noise reduction with mask.
Music
After sunset I was still hanging around and doing some long exposure experiments, in the end it was real dark and the weather started changing, I saw some lightning in the distance which I tried to capture but miserably failed, I couldn't do more since a wind was starting to blow and raindrops started to fall, I needed to get back to my car quickly all the way through the dark nature reserve, the weather seemed to change real quick, as I was hurrying my way back lighting became nearer, the darkness surrounded me, the only thing I could see were the lights of houses at the edges of the nature reserve, I could barely see my feet, my iPod was on shuffle and 'decided' to give me this creepy song :)
