Another image from a magical morning last weekend!
As far as the technical side goes, this image is a 3 shot HDR (+/- 1 1/3 stops). But each of those images were made utilizing the Olympus Hi-Res mode sensor shifting 8 separate exposures to yield an 80mp final result. So, this is actually a blend of 24 images! Adding all those exposures together yields a total exposure of a fraction under 2 seconds.
This image was processed in a workflow that included DxO PhotoLab 4, HDR Efex Pro & On1 Photo RAW 2020.5.
Sometimes it's the simplicity of a setting that just makes it feel right.
Tech Specs: Olympus OM=D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8 Pro lens with a NiSi CirPl filter and mounted on my meFoto Globetrotter Classic tripod using the system's Hi-Rez Shot mode - 40mm | ISO200 | 1/20 | f8.
Post-Processing: Processed in On1 Photo RAW 2020.5.

I took advantage of the local foggy conditions to make this image.
Tech Specs: Image made with my Olympus OM-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8 Pro lens aided by my NiSi CirPL and Natural Night filters and the entire setup was mounted on my meFoto Globetrotter Classic tripod [15mm | f2.8 | ISO200 | 143.4s].
Post-Processing: Everything was done within DxO software. RAW processing in PhotoLab 4 with roundtrips to Nik Analog Efex and Silver Efex.

My last image from that magical morning last weekend!
Tech Specs: High-res image made with my Olympus OM-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8 Pro lens and NiSi CirPl filter, all mounted on my meFoto Globetrotter Classic tripod - 32mm | ISO200 | 1/200 | f8.
Post-Processing: I was surprised to see that the RAW file was handled better by DxO PhotoLab 4! Basic import from the camera into my Mac is better handled through On1, but the initial RAW processing just looked better coming through DxO. Once initial processing was completed, I finished up with various masks, local adjustments and filters in On1 Photo RAW 2020.5.

Our path through life wanders through many curves,
hills and valleys,
and traverses a multitude of bridges.
A path uncertain through darkness and light.
The destination is known,
but the path is the adventure.

I woke up at 4:30 to catch the morning light at a different location. That spot turned out to be a bust for me, but I caught this magical scene on my way home!
Tech Specs: 3 shot HDR made with my Olympus OM-D e-m1.2 with the m.Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8 Pro lens and NiSi CirPL filter mounted on my meFoto Globetrotter Classic tripod. I leveraged the Olympus High Res shot mode to squeeze as much detail as possible and this also deliciously extended the exposure. Base exposure info 29mm | f8 | ISO 200 | 1/40th sec. Adding all the exposures up that created this image means the shutter was open about 3/4th of a second.
Post-Processing: I started out in DxO Photo Lab 4 and Nik HDR Efex Pro for the initial RAW processing, but I finished my workflow in On1 Photo RAW 2020.5.

I'm not normally one to play with a heavier HDR treatment, but this subject just seemed to call for it. The fiery sunset over the frozen waters of Buffalo's Outer Harbor made for a number of interesting compositions.
Hardware: Olympus Om-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 8mm f1.8 Fisheye Pro lens all mounted on my Mefoto Globetrotter Classic tripod - 6 bracketed shots with a base exposure of ISO200 | 6s | f13.
Software: Initial RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab4 with a roundtrip to Nik HDR Efex Pro. Final processing of the stacked image done solely in On1 Photo RAW 2021.

When dancing below the watchful guardians eye
are we truly free?
Are the multicolored ribs of a site reborn
really a symbol of rebirth?
New symbols and monuments
obscure the scars of lost generations.

Not every shot in my collection shows one of these pros soaring through the air in the midst of a spectacular trick. I think this one show just the punishment these riders can take. Keep in mind, the demo was happening pretty close to shore, so the waters were 2.5-4 feet deep.

Clear for launch! I have evolved this year in my photographic approach. I have focused far more on project-based photography and I've derived great enjoyment from it. Images like this one stand on their own merits, but they also function very well to round out projects like these. I have 3 more images planned for this project, but that by no means is a statement that the quality of the individual images will be declining.

Yes, I know the "dawn" part is relatively irrelevant in a monochrome image, but that is the title you get! ;-)
Hardware: Olympus OM-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8 Pro lens and NiSi 10stop ND filter, all mounted on my MeFoto Globetrotter Classic tripod - 12mm | ISO64 | 451s | f8.
Software: Initial RAW processing on DxO PhotoLab 4, landscape filter adjustments in On1 Photo RAW 2021 with a roundtrip to Nik Silver Efex Pro for the mono conversion.

A bit of a conceptual piece, playing with time as a narrative. If you look at my previously published image alongside this one, you can see the galactic core of the Milky Way fairly clearly here. All told, this is an hourlong section of time under the spinning night skies.

Software: Each image was initially processed in DxO Photo Lab 4 and then stitched in On1 Photo RAW 2021 with a variety of global and local edits.

I got very lucky with this image! I had planned out the morning to catch the eclipse, but I had my dates wrong and only realized my error the evening before as I was settling down for the night, so I didn't get to bed as early as I would have liked to rest up for my morning outing. And, I didn't have my spot fully picked out to catch this once in a lifetime celestial event. Because of this, I set the alarm a bit earlier than I might have otherwise done, which was a good thing (as you'll see as I work my way through this rambling narrative...). An hour and 20min drive to my viewpoint only to find it socked in by the clouds you can see past the ridgeline in this shot and I had a panicky race to my backup viewpoint (which would have been a 20min drive under normal circumstances - I won't say how long it took me to get there that morning...).
I have yet to develop the full skillset when it comes to landscape photography. I couldn't sort out the right settings for shooting into the sun, so I bracketed every composition in hopes that I could exposure blend something together into a solid image. I haven't shared my image from that morning before now because I tried processing my files 3 times before today, but I couldn't get a "final" image that felt both real and looked like how I remembered the morning. Until now.
This may not be perfection in photography, but it captures how I remembered the scene. I shot it a bit wider than images I've seen from other photographers , but I wanted to capture the ethereal mists of the morning as well as the crescent sun. Those same clouds almost blocked the view of the event entirely, but I managed to find a window of opportunity with is image.
I apologize for the rambling description with this image!

Milky Way over Griffis (option 2)
This is the same subject as what I posted Monday, but a bit later in the evening to get the Milky Way in a more attractive position. I also sorted out a new workflow that yields a better result (in my opinion).
Tech Specs: Image made with my Olympus OM-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 8mm f1.8 Fisheye Pro lens and mounted on my Mefoto Globetrotter Classic tripod. Again, this is a stack of 19 exposures (15 light and 4 dark) for the sky and 1 exposure for the foreground. The base foreground exposure utilized Olympus' Live Composite mode to stack multiple exposures and only add light to the image with each new exposure. Total exposure was about a half hour while I played with a very diffused LED Lenser flashlight (ISO1600 | 10s | f1.8). The 19 sky exposures were ISO4000 | 8s | f1.8).
Post-Processing: My workflow involved more editing of each exposure in On1 prior to exporting the series to Starry Landscape Stacker. The stacked image was then brought back into On1 to blend the foreground and sky and finalize my edits.

The Maiden and the Way
Another from my recent night at Griffis Sculpture Park in Western NY.
Hardware: Olympus OM-D e-M1.2 with the m.Zuiko 8mm f1.8 Fisheye Pro lens. Composite of the foreground (ISO1600 | 40s | f1.8) lightpainted and 20 frames (ISO6400 | 8s | f1.8) - 15 light and 5 dark.
Software: Everything was initially processed in DxO PhotoLab 4. The 20 sky frames were sent to StarryLandscapeStacker for it's special magic. Then I blended the stacked composite with the foreground in On1 Photo RAW 2021.5
