Infrared Coastline HDR
I've started shooting HDR...
The real goal is to do HDR stacks from the air. This was my intent when I left the house. But a combination of low wind, the wrong kite, and rig troubles kept my camera grounded.
Instead I started shooting HDR stacks of the coastline, but realized the ever-changing surf was going to cause problems. I switched to infrared with a Hoya R72, and the longer exposure times blurred the surf into non-existence.
This is a six image stack with two images at the same exposure value. They didn't do anything to expand the dynamic range, but it helped to finish blurring the surf.
The HDR processing is pretty mild. I just wanted to bump up the shadows in the rocks. I think the highlights may still be blown out. Further work required.
The infrared oddity in this shot is the light blue area at the edge of the rocks where they meet the water. This is algae, which is rendered near-white in the infrared. It's my first time shooting IR at the water's edge. Who knew?
