I tried Lisa's tips on using levels in Photoshop and this is the result!! So easy and quick for a better photo! Since we live in a condo, sun light is really precious to us. If I don't get my cards made early enough, I won't get a good shot at my cards... This tip is even more useful since all I have is a simple digital camera. It makes a big difference!!
Here is the original photo.
Thank you Lisa for the awesome tips!!
TFL. =)
in case you hadn't guessed, i would feel guilty if anyone thought that the scene really looked like this.
my wife and i recently spent a long weekend visiting hiroshima and miyajima island. this tori, or gate, is one of japan's three "must see" sights. it was really cool, (i've got another picture of it at night i'll post soon) but the sky just wouldn't cooperate with me the only evening we were there. the sunset was pale and sort of lifeless. so i fixed it!
i will say that i only blurred the outside edges of the image and the other adjustments were simply colours i added or took away. so this IS what it looked like, minus the amazing sunset colours.
spent the best part of yesterday micro adjusting the sigma 150-500 to the d7000 as i wasn't to happy with the results of the wren shot ,luckily i have a adjustment pyramid and i think i eventually got it right ,heres the results ,let the jury decide .
BTW .MEGA SHOT GONNA BE POSTED LATER TONITE ,WATCH THIS SPOT .*******

The story of this photo:
I am going abstract today. No architecture, no landscape... just a sculpture and the sky. This sculpture is standing near the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany: Three rainbow-colored poles about 15-20 meters high. What I like in particular about this shot are the reflections. There are actually not three poles in the picture but seven!!! I leave the rest to your interpretation. Enjoy!
Take a look at my "HDR Cookbook"! It contains some more information on my techniques.
How it was shot:
> Handheld
> Three exposures (0, -2, +2 ev) autobracketed and merged to get and HDR
> Camera: Nikon D90
> Lens: Sigma 10-20mm F3,5 EX DC HSM
> Details can be found here
How it was tonemapped:
> Preparation: developed the raw files with ACR mainly in order to reduce the CA [details]
> Photomatix version 3.1 (Detail Enhancer)
How it was post-processed:
> Post-processing was done in Photoshop
> Topaz Adjust on the entire image to get back the colors and the details [details]
> Topaz Denoise [details]
> Photo filter layer on the poles to reduce the blue cast and enhance the warm tones
> Saturation layer on the poles (increased master and a bit of blue tones)
> Levels layer on the poles to tune the brightness and the contrast
> Levels layer on the sky (brightening mid tones), masked with the inverted blue channel to even out the luminance
> Levels layer on the sky (general brightening)
> Saturation layer on the sky to tune the blue tones
> Halo reduction in the sky using a levels adjustment layer (gamma ~ 0.8) and delicate masking to blend this darker layer into those halo spots around the poles [details]
> Sharpening using the high-pass filter [details]

Valley Railroad shop employee Chip adjusts the flame on his cutting torch before removing a tube in No. 97s boiler. The railroad is doing stabilization work on the Consolidation so she does not deteriorate further during storage before her rebuild project begins at some point in the future (schedule is still to be determined).

This was actually a "passing shot" as I walked through this cafeteria. I roughly composed this without adjusting for the back lighting and hoped it would turn out well in post.
On normal Sundays, this place would be chock full of members with their kids and family members. It so happened that Aug 31st was Malaysia's Independence Day and it was a national holiday, which is why there were very few people here.
Thanks everyone for the views and faves! 😊

The marker seen in the photograph above stands in front of the Dade County Courthouse in Trenton, Georgia. It was erected by the Georgia Historical Commission in 1953 and details a few facts about Dade County as follows:
Often called the “State of Dade,” because, as legend has it, the county seceded from the Union ahead of Georgia, and only returned to the Union July 4, 1945.
Created December 25, 1837, and named for Major Francis Langhorne Dade, killed by Indians in Florida, December, 1835. The county seat was first named Salem, then changed to Trenton in 1840.
Outstanding picturesque mountain scenery accounts for the creation of Cloudland State Park. Rich coal and iron deposits have been worked since Ante-Bellum times.
Another tidbit of information about the reason for the "State of Dade" nickname: until 1939, there were no roads connecting Dade County with rest of Georgia. The county could only be accessed from Alabama or Tennessee.
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

I’ve had my Eames-style (but not official Eames) chair since I found it at a small antique store back when I lived in New Jersey (before I had kitties, even). In the last house there wasn’t really room to use it as intended (chair+ottoman), and I mostly used our Papasan chair to relax in. I was excited in the new, larger living room to get my “Eames” back. BUT… it is not as conducive to Loki snuggling up on my arm, so: be careful what you wish for, I guess. May have to go back to the Papasan. On the other hand, it’s a lot easier to get up when I need to this way, than with the big floofball nestled in the crook of my arm. 😄
Wakefield Falls New Zealand This is the run off from Wakefield Falls which overlooks the Nuns Veil just south of Tasman Lake. The tip of the lake is just visible in the distance. South of this location, the sunrise was a threatening to blow up but in the mountains, the clouds ruled. This spot is a fun 1km rock scramble and if there wasn't so much ice, a good wade into wakefield falls itself (100m behind me in this shot) would have been a similar experience to the Icelandic Glujfurjarfoss. On a side note, I've noticed a strong bias toward panoramic shots becoming popular on 500px with the new layout so my prediction is that not many people will even see this shot. It's one of my favourites from the trip but perhaps that's because it was a fresh viewpoint (just like the previous Isthmus peak shot) Interested in how we use adjustment layers?
