This album contains photos from some of the places we stopped at on the way home from the WA State coast. The first stop was the Rowena Crest near Mosier in the Columbia Gorge area and the other was Anthony Lakes near Baker City in eastern Oregon. Both were very cool places to stop.
I took these photos in August 2016.
Oct. 2, 2007. This is an earlier view of this image, before that fog came in and still lit by the setting sun. I hadn't really played with the sunny versions from this series yet, but a call for some Maine lighthouse images landed in my lap yesterday and so I found myself gathering up some of my lighthouse shots from there.
This is a blend of two tripod-mounted exposures: one to hold detail in the sky and the far horizon, and the other for the lighthouse, rocks and foreground water. It is a manual blend done with layers and layer masks and not an HDR shot. Larger.

On the last day of our Hokkaido trip, we stopped off at a Marine Park as we had plenty of time before our car ferry returned back towards Tokyo.

Hokkaido, Japan.
An HDR shot of the Wynnum mangroves was sharp enough to pick out all those air-roots.
Pneumatophores are specialized root structures that grow out from the water surface and facilitate the aeration necessary for root respiration in hydrophytic trees such as many mangrove species. This will be in the test!

This picture has been taken from John Hancock Observatory Center at Magnificent Mile during Blue Hour.It was simply amazing to see trailing golden lights across the streets as if whole downtown was burning and glowing and making it one of the most exciting evening in Chicago Downtown.The other side of the Lake Shore Drive gives the glimpse of Michigan Lake.

HDR shot
Picture highlights from two weeks in Exmoor.
Struggled with my photography over these two weeks didn't get as many shots as usual for a holiday.... hope you like some of the highlights.....
no hdr.shot over Goat Island..toward Canada from New York.....this is the director's cut of a previous shot...highlighting details and not so saturated..this is very close to the colors that were present...The water of Niagra Falls is a shade I haven't seen anywhere else in a fresh water falls. For me, one way to tell if the white balance is correct is to look at the different shades of green in the tree leaves and see if they are realistic and here they are. The evergreens are bluer while the deciduous trees have more yellow in the leaves that haven't turned. And truly this is the color of that beautiful water!
A poem of myself (So far) (James Watkins)
I was shot from a gun,
chased by time
past pig, pain portals-
beyond blood battered walls,
whetted, washed, and wondering.
My stars burning,
growing in love’s lucid light,
nursed and nutured in stone-
flooded and flowing
in bare…
Bright dreams.
Childhood
floated down driveways,
fell sweet from scented,
hidden lookout trees-
bicycles for breakfast-
mothers, brothers,
and families for free.
Secured by father,
knee deep in friends,
i ran -hair on fire-
blazed in brightness-
weekend wild-
bludgeoned by desires-
and tendered by traps
and crimes.
In storms i slew myself-
jumped solid ship into timeless sea,
filled the ancient heart longing,
healed the word wounded warrior
of the soul.
Made peace with time,
sucked fullness of day and night,
walked in smoldering suns,
swam clear deep streams-
and sang the song of songs!
Torched by bridges,
burning face first
into new dawn,
came full round the sun circle-
armed with nuclear wings-
violently flighted,
fast falling forward-
to fathom beginning and ending
of all things.
And ride the flood waters
of opening plains-
with multiplied words
of tortured kings-
resting, completed, tempered, and full-
in fallen disguise of my destiny.

Welcome to my photostream! I hope you enjoy this tutorial and my photos. To read more about this photo and why its edited the way it is, scroll to the bottom of the tutorial. Please leave a comment if you visit! :)
Note: Below tutorial was written for Photomatix Pro 2.22. Photomatix latest software version has similar but slightly different settings.
About this photo:
This photo was taken out of the train, speeding through the Dutch countryside. I decided I wanted to try something new. A lot of my HDRs are bright and very saturated with colour. I wanted to go for the darker more ominous look, close to black and white, but not completely, still showing a hint of colour. I think it turned out nicely. Because of the strong tonemapping settings I got pretty much noise, but I also decided to leave that, because it gives the photos something rough and old looking, which I find fits to the colours and darkness.
How to succesfully make a HDR from 1 JPG
Would you buy an expensive DSLR, expensive lenses, and lots of filters, when you can get similar effects with just a cheap compact camera and cheap tripod?
Ok, I must admit, there are a few more benefits of having a DSLR verses compact, but still, for the beginning or budget photographer, you can do a lot with software and a reasonable compact camera. This is supposed to be a tutorial about making HDRs (High Dynamic Range Photos), so let me get back to the point. You may know that for HDR images, you need to take multiple photos, of multiple exposures. If you want to know more about creating HDRs in general, I suggest you also read my HDR & Photomatix tutorial. Of course everything that you want to photograph in that way has to stand perfectly still, or you will have exposures that don't "fit" over eachother. Of course sometimes this effect is nice, such as in this example from Altus: Ethereal Skating.
But if you want a HDR of a person or car that's moving by, and you want it to be sharp, in focus as in a normal photo, its impossible to do it with multiple exposures. So you may have seen some of the HDRs that were created from 1 RAW image... Another nice example from Altus, also about skating and also one of my faves is this one: Tokyo Transition. This was made from 1 RAW photo, shot with a camera that supports RAW. Software is used to extract multiple exposures from the RAW file, and then you can use your favourite program to turn those exposures into a HDR.
But I dont have enough money to buy a DSLR that can shoot RAW...
So lets say that you don't have a camera that can shoot RAW and don't have the money or dont want
to spend the money on a new one, like me, there are other options. I thought, why cant I create HDRs from 1 jpeg? I know its not RAW, but its worth a try... (before you try this, read the whole tutorial)
1. I opened my photo in Photoshop.
2. I pressed control + M to get the "curves" tool, and made the photo a lot brighter.
3. I saved the image with a different name next to the original.
4. I undid the curves, with Control + Alt + Z.
5. I did the curves again, but instead of making the photo brighter, I made it darker.
6. I saved the image again next to the two other exposures.
7. I opened all three exposures in Photomatix, and generated and tonemapped the HDR image.
8. It worked! Yay!
But is that the end of this tutorial?
In fact you are still sortof creating 3 jpgs... And its a lot of work... And is Photoshop actually creating detail in silhouettes or blow out highlights? No... It cant do that, you cant just magically create detail where your camera captured nothing... Is Photoshop lightening too dark areas that still show detail? Or darkening areas that are just a little bit overexposed? Yes... And what does Photomatix do in comparism? Maybe you have noticed before that the HDR result is exposed even better or more equally than the darkest or lightest exposure you fed into it... (depending on your settings of course) Even if you really photographed three different exposures. So Photomatix brightens and darkens as well. It doesnt just combine.
The tonemapping of Photomatix is a pretty strong tool to get some detail back into over or underexposed images, as long as there is detail in the first place. It wont turn a totally black silhouette into visible detail, and the same goes for a blown out overexposed white spot...
Now that we know that first creating several exposures in Photoshop is not required, as this is basically the same thing that Photomatix does with its tonemapping, our list of steps changes to:
1. Open the photo in Photomatix.
2. Open the photo again in Photomatix.
3. Generate and tonemap the HDR!
So that saves you a lot of trouble and work! And who wants to do unneccesary work?
To save even more time you can copy and paste all your photos in the same folder to create copies, and then drag the original and copy into Photomatix right away, instead of having to open the same image twice. Deleting all the copies afterwards doesnt take as much time as opening each photo twice in Photomatix.
But are the tonemapping settings the same?
Not always. Of course the settings depend completely on the result you wish to achieve. But in short, you have to do a few things to make sure not to get too much noise, and saturation. Apparently when working with 1 jpg, the noise and saturation get a lot higher than when I use three "real" separate exposures.
Try the following settings in Photomatix:
Luminosity: between -2 and +2
Strength: between 30% and 60%
Saturation: between 30% and 50%
White clip: set slider about halfway
Black clip: set slider about 1/10th from the left.
Smoothing: High!!! This is really important...
To reduce noise and halos:
Smoothing should be on high (reduces noise and halos) and
luminosity should be 2 or lower. Higher luminosity reduces halos, but
creates a lot of noise. The lower you set the general Strength, the less
noise and halos.
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial, and I hope it will yield some nice results. Finally you can take HDR shots with your cheap compact camera straight from your bike or out of your car window whilst driving past something! Or you can pay attention to traffic of course! :)

Another photo from a super clear and sunny fall day. I took quite a few shots to get what I wanted here. I even tried a few HDR shots but it was a bit windy that day so that didn't work too well. In the end a RAW shot and LightRoom 5.7 done the trick. BTW, I almost always shoot in RAW.

There was inside light glare of vending machines and room light bulbs which came to the original picture, which somehow I managed to get rid off using Adobe Photoshop.

The story of this photo:
German people like to put up signs of any sort. Wherever anybody has a say and thinks that anybody else may do something wrong, they make a sign and put it up, even in beautiful places like this. This makes such places more informative, but less beautiful. Well, ya can't have everything, right?
I took this shoot in the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers (German: Vierzehnheiligen) right after they made me put away my tripod. Well, ya can't have everything! I shot this through an iron gate that was locked. So they put up the signs on the candle holder and to make absolutely sure the people obey it, they additionally locked the place. At least I was able to use the iron gate to support my camera. :-)
I tried to make an HDR of the source shots. However, it refused to look good. So, I switched to an Exposure Fusion which gave a much better result. So this is one of the rare occasions where I am uploading a non-HDR shot. I hope you enjoy it nevertheless. :-)
Take a look at my "HDR Cookbook"! It contains some more information on my techniques.
How it was shot:
> Handheld [details]
> Three exposures (0, -2, +2 EV) autobracketed
> Camera: Nikon D7000
> 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]
> Created two additional exposures in ACR (+4EV and -4EV) to preserve highlights and shadows [details]
> Applied noise reduction (Topaz Denoise) to each of the source images [details]
> Resulting TIF images were then used as input to Photomatix
> Photomatix Pro 4.0 (Exposure Fusion)
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 InFocus for sharpening
> Curves layer on the floor (more contrast)
> Saturation layer on the floor (toned down a bit)
> Curves layer on the rest of the image (more contrast)
> Photo filer layer and saturation layer on the rack (for warmer tones)
> Vignette effect using a masked fill layer [details]
> Watermarking
