For me, one of the more satisfying approaches to photography is walking around with no agenda and seeing what subjects that I can find. I feel that it's when I'm at my most creative.... and also great way to just be in the moment.

Dewy grass and the ever so delicate sprays of 'Queen Annes lace' wildflowers. Seen on my walk at Ladybower last weekend.
These lone pine trees always catch my eye when I go this way. After waiting about 10 brutally cold minutes for the sun, the clouds opened just enough for a little light to hit the rise. At the top of the photo is about the only blue sky around at that moment. Awoke this morning to a double-thickness of white over everything, and even late in the day much of it remains...
Well yellow anyway. I love the vast expanse of bright, cheery colour rapeseed brings to the landscape and the smell is just wonderful - unless you suffer from hay fever!

Real HDR 101
After the pseudo HDR restoration treatment on my previous post , I thought it's about time to get my hands dirty on some real HDR, for a change. With a tripod in the back of my ride I drove to a place nearby and started fiddling around with the automatic exposure bracketing settings of my camera. With a 4-stop range across three exposures (-2 Ev, +/-0 Ev and +2 Ev) I finally hit the shutter in aperture priority mode.
The HDR approuch
With the help of Photomatrix I was able to combine my differently exposed RAW files into one HDR image. With the Tone Mapping tool applied throughout the image I was able to visually reveal its higher dynamic range.
Final touchups
In PS the copper hues throughout the scene was created by different Hue/Saturation layers on top of the 32-bit HDR representation. Locally I painted in or out from the accompanying masks to enhance the color-contrast of different parts in the sky. As a final touch up I used a contrast adjustment layer with a value of 10 for a tiny bit of extra eye popping awe, which I very like in here. Selective sharpening was done with a high-pass layer in overlay mode with a value of just below 0.8 pixels in the High Pass filter settings dialog. Irrelevant sharpened parts - such as noise - were painted out from its layer mask afterwards, to enhance the edges of the trees throughout. Personally I am quite satisfied with the results right now and I hope you folks will like it too.
Was it fun?
Yes. I must admit that visually less treatment - thus time - was needed to achieve better result compared to conventional techniques I am using for over a decade. Within approximately one hour - without noticeable loss of detail - I am quite content with the end results.
Location: At the borders of Holland and Germany nearby the North-Eastern region of the province of Groningen.
Shot during the summer of 2013, I discovered this forgotten RAW image lurking in the depths of an unused memory card. I have been working to improve my tattoo removal and retouching techniques recently and decided this shot would be ideal to put my new found wisdom to the test and this is the result. If your curiosity leads to to ask what the unedited image looked like pre Photoshop, you can find it at www.behance.net/amenci
